She Loves Me Not

contest:

Raging storm uprooted tree

Beneath its roots a box I see

Incased in a calves on hide

I take my loot for the treasure inside

A note to Jenny, I wonder who she was

Signed in crimson, was it signed in blood

Your One True Love, is the author I read

As I look inside this is what I see

A velvet ribbon etched in black

with a lock of flaming red hair for its clasp

pedals from a daisy removed from their stems

 laid in an ash tray sitting on a bed of ash

And the elucidation did say

she loves me not, for all eternity.

Wow, this was extremely vivid... There's a book/movie here...under 'a bed of ash'

Thanks for sharing!

A box of velvet thoughts inside I see, me thinks the note was meant for me :) Keenly written Ms Cherrie!

I didn't do any good for the contest but I did have fun whipping this together.

A really nicely crafted poem, skillfully and creatively done. Great rhyming. A fun read with a tragic sounding end. I think you find a fanatic job on this piece.
