After reading over the poem multiple times, the emotions that begin to arise are ones of peace. The words are soft and calming, “petal by petal the flower of our heart” (line 3) Though the poem evokes some feelings of sadness, I feel at peace as I read over the poem. Memories of nostalgic memories of being with old friends that I had lost. Something about the poem reminds me of the process of moving on, and focusing on the future ahead of us, “Sweeps them away,
Each one is gone Ever beyond into infinite ways.” (line 13-15) I like the theme that the poem is portraying, using flowers as the base to form the poem around, and I find it pleasant to read over continuously. I don’t really like the vocabulary used, as I prefer a more extensive one.
