The secret of the locked box.



The secret locked box.

As I look upon you, I can see this power that no woman can possess, or it would put her to rest. In your eyes that sparkle wide and your golden hair that blows in the cool summer breeze, I can see. I can smell the scent of apple blossoms on your sleeves. What I do see is the amaranth, a flower tucked behind your ear; it's never fades or grows old; it's so rare; it's never bought or sold. That's your secret, I know. If the flower is stolen, you lose your soul, and you will fade and grow old. So you'll keep it locked up in the secret box. What you don't know is that I have the key to the lock, and I have that power. To make you or break you in the palm of my hand. You better understand.

    Wow! This poem really drew me in with its mysterious and captivating storyline. The imagery used to describe the secret locked box and its contents is vivid and intriguing. The concept of the amaranth flower holding such power and significance is really unique and adds an element of fantasy to the poem.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to expand on the emotions and feelings of the characters involved. How does the speaker feel about having the key to unlock the secret box? How does the woman feel about the power she holds within the flower? Adding more depth to the emotional aspect of the poem could make it even more engaging for the reader.

    Overall, I really enjoyed reading 'The secret of the locked box.' It is a wonderfully crafted piece with a mysterious and enchanting tone. Keep up the great work!
