The Truest Form



Your eyes does tell
A secret’s tale
Of growing inside your warm spring well
The seas of love
Gathers the tides of change
And cleanses the house
That you’ve rearranged
From the flower of youth
A bud is born
Which grows inside
Your house adorn
As a blessed part
Of our God above
This sprouting bud
Is the Truest Form of your Love

    I absolutely loved 'The Truest Form' poem! The imagery of the growing bud inside the warm spring well and the seas of love gathering the tides of change was beautifully captured. The transformation from a bud to a fully blossomed flower as the truest form of love was truly heartwarming.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to maybe add more sensory details to really bring the poem to life. Describe the colors, scents, and textures of the blooming flower to evoke a stronger emotional response from the reader.

    Overall, amazing job! Keep writing and exploring different themes and emotions in your poetry. Your talent shines through in 'The Truest Form.' Well done!
