Whispered Promises

Promises whispered
with roses of red
wither and die
leaving naught
but dried up
petals of hope
and piercing
thorns of despair.

This made me sad. The brevity of the poem drives the point home even harder. Great job.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
