Analysis of The wilted rose.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The Wilted rose.

You look at my words, and you see nothing. Well, if you take a peek behind them, you will see everything. But my actions speak louder than your words. If you say I love you, and don't mean it. Then don't say it. You see a pretty rose and a wilted one, so why would you not take the wilted one? At one time, the wilted one was beautiful, and now it's not? So if you had a choice between taking a young girl or an old girl, which one would you choose? My poems are not beautiful, but the words mean the same thing: you're not going to win a gold ring.

Some people look at beautiful words. But don't take a peek behind the bad one's. That's where you'll find a beautiful poem. But that one don't even get a star. Why?
