Blue Carnation

Ballad

You‘re a mystery of bravery,
your blunt words doesn‘t scare me,
like how blue carnation doesn't have much history.

Ironically,
I admire you being genuine,
like how blue carnation symbolises purity.

Your presence makes me view life easier,
blue carnation evoke tranquility, and peace—
no wonder you around makes it calmer.

Your personality is a thing they don‘t know,
blue flowers is uniquely unknown,
no wonder they find you exceptional,
no wonder you can stand alone.

Hear me ones more,
like how you like blue—you are like them too.

Blue carnation is a rare in nature,
and you—are a fascination, with everything you own.
Don‘t ever seek for changes, 'cause honestly, you can carry it.

Wow! I absolutely adore your 'Blue Carnation' poem! It's beautifully written and captures the essence of the blue carnation in such a unique and creative way. The comparison between the bravery in your words and the mystery of the blue carnation is truly captivating.

I particularly love how you've highlighted the purity and tranquility that the blue carnation symbolizes, and how it mirrors the genuine presence of the person you're describing. It adds a sense of calmness and peace to the poem that is really refreshing.

One improvement suggestion I have is to expand on the connection between the blue carnation and the person's unknown personality. Maybe you could delve deeper into the idea of the blue carnation being a rare and uniquely unknown flower, just like the person's distinctive personality that others don't fully comprehend. It could add even more depth to the poem and further emphasize the exceptional nature of the individual.

Overall, your poem is a wonderful expression of admiration and appreciation. It's filled with positivity and enthusiasm, making it a joy to read. Keep up the fantastic work! more »
