Cool poem! I like how underneath, this poem, to me that is, is a methaphor of life, in the way of the 'soft and tender but bruised' and how we can be teasing, there but not, and can blossom. But then again, that's just me. I really like this one. Keep on writing!

o very true.. i liek the extended metaphor

THis is very unique. I haven't ever read a poem quite like this. It is beautiful. I almost got a feeling of the four seasons, if that is what was intended or not. A very nice, short poem. Keep upthe good work!
