Compared to the bird’s singing,
You are far lovelier.
Compared to the church bell’s ringing,
You are far lovelier.
Compared to the flower’s radiance,
You outshine everything.
Compared to the willow’s brilliance,
You outshine everything.
Compared to the cloud’s pureness,
You have it all.
Compared to the wind’s gentleness,
You have it all.
However, because you are knowingly conceited,
My love for your perfectness has depleted.

I wrote this poem for English class and I thought it could have a double purpose.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
