Adieu Adieu Poem by Sonya Florentino

Adieu Adieu

Rating: 5.0


Life is day
And death the night

Light and dark's
Eternal strife

Soon it comes
That moonless night

Adieu Adieu
Oh flower!

This is beautiful in that way that seems you've read it many times before..also it sounds like a song. I love your description of the eternal battle always going on.

Fragile, lyric beauty. The fall of even one flower diminishes the earth. Very touching. Love, SandraX

This lyrical little poem is mysterious, beautiful and has mystical aura of déjà vu - all in so few words - a marvellous feat! S :)

Your final line is as astonishing as it is brilliant. Those two words turn the poem from something very competent into something sublime. I am impressed. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
