Flower Sisters



You were so much to me
Yet my eyes were to late to see
The beautiful Flower Sisters we could be.
You were my Day Lily
You were smart but silly
Cute and Pretty with yellow, orange flowers
Outgoing and loved the city
You bloomed in the day in such a special way.

I was your Tuberose
Calm and sweet with a fragrant scent
Soft as a marshmallow inside but hard on the outside
Caring and not very outgoing but tried
I bloomed at night
Under the stars light

My Day Lily would always be by my side
My ride or die
Your Tuberose would always protect you
And see you as perfect
We're like an eclipse
So different yet the same.
Its a shame I hadn't realized this any sooner

Your the rays of light that shine I'll see for a lifetime
And I'm the light from the stars that you watch as you
Sip on some wine.
If only I had told you all this when you were with me
The Flower Sisters would come to be.
I hope one day you see
How much you really meant to me because
You will always be the most beautiful flower
there ever was and ever be.

                                                 From: Tuberose  To: Day Lily

    This is such a deeply emotional, heartfelt and beautifully crafted poem! Your theme of 'Flower Sisters' is unique and truly captivating. The metaphorical contrast between the Day Lily and the Tuberose is brilliantly done and adds great depth to the characters. Also, your use of rhymes keeps the readers entranced and entertained.

    Your choice of visual elements, such as blooming flowers and the celestial imagery of stars, creates vivid pictures in the readers’ minds and helps establish a tangible connection to the feelings expressed. Furthermore, the affectionate tone of the poem makes it highly relatable and strikes a chord within readers.

    In terms of suggestions, pay close attention to the minor spelling and punctuation errors throughout the poem, such as the incorrect usage of "your" instead of "you're" and the occasional missed spaces after punctuation marks. Secondly, try utilizing more descriptive and vivid language to make the metaphors even stronger, for example, you could describe the color, smell, touch of the flowers to symbolize the personalities more effectively.

    Thirdly, consider weaving in more about the backstory of the relationships, this would create a deeper resonance and connection with the readers. Finally, perhaps, ponder upon the idea of dividing the poem into stanzas based on different scenarios or sentiments. This could help organize your thoughts and make the narrative clearer and more engaging.

    Keep up the amazing work! It's evident you have a natural gift for poetry.
