Love is My Garden
May 19, 2018
Love is a garden, so pretty and new
Beautiful flowers surrounding my heart
Love is a garden so fragile and true
Until those feelings tear my heart apart.
The daylily blooms, innocent and pure
She blooms over and over and again
For a lonely heart she provides a cure
Though her love’s wilting will cause no one pain.
The rose bud I see so close to blooming
Her petals and thorns make me swoon
For when I approach and dread is looming
Her prick to my heart feels like a harpoon.
I bask in the sun made by my garden
But slowly my heart will start to harden.

This sonnet is based around the idea of love. The daylily was intended to represent young love. Young love is a fleeting kind of love that tends to be gained and lost quickly, like a daylily. I used the rose to symbolize true love. The idea of it so beautiful and enchanting, but get to close and it can hurt.
