to grow a rose?

to grow a rose

but to know not how

perhaps one should

smother the young seed

with all the warmth one has

and let loose a deluge

of uncompromising hope

Interesting. Cool

However, I have no hope with plants of any kind. Wink

Nice.
This could be a poem on love, on how to bring a child up.
Or falling in love for the first time. Smile

its supposed to sound cynical...

and its actually about how pple are so clumsy in love that they ruin it by 'smothering' it with their passion and causing 'the soil to become waterlogged by over-watering it with hope.'

guess the verses dont show the above mentioned points...

well now its a harmless,simple,sincere sounding piece of poetry about love.

no harm done. Neutral

yes, a sincere piece of poetry about love, though you wanted it to sound cynical.
a good effort though. Smile
