Question: I dont get this poem called 'the death of flower'!.!.!. its pretty short too!?
does this poem hav any symbolism or any special meaning!? its called 'the death of flower'

Oh, vase so fine and clear through vine,
You wave so curve and wonder still!.
Not a movement, such element,
You lack of flower which you kill;

Hold, not preserved, till old is served,
Then water waits until you thirst!.
Now sit for more, just like before,
And fill upon then suck at first:

The life of red, then death of black!.
Curls have fallen! again its back!.

Before I answer this question I would like to ask, WHO is the poet who wrote this piece!?
You did not give any information on the writer of the piece!.
The piece is not in quotations ("") nor is there any acknowledgment for the writer!.

Supply to me the writer!.
If it is a piece written by you - well then - you already know!.

For me - the piece needs work!. Grammar and sentence structure needs more work!.
Thought flow and continuous flow to the end needs work as well!.
Look at the lines - some make no sense!.!.!.

Keep working, writing and learning the art!.

This poem contains a lot of sexualized language!. While on one level the poem can be read as being about a flower, on another level it is a sexual/romantic poem!. Poems are never going to be about just one thing, unless it's written by a really bad poet (like the man from Nantucket)!. Read the poem aloud and feel the words as they come out!. How do they sound!? How do they make you feel as you read them!? Another thing to look at is the rhyme scheme!. This poem contains instances of internal rhyme, which is when there is a rhyme on one line!. You can see this in the first line with "fine" and "vine!." The rest you have to figure out on your own, I'm afraid!. Literature is open to different interpretations based on our own experiences!. If I told you what I thought the poem meant, it would be based on my own experiences and not really mean a thing to you!. So just go with how it feels to you, what it reminds you of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the poem is basically putting a verification on the life and death of a flower!. What the author is saying in the first stanza
"Oh, vase so fine and clear through vine,
You wave so curve and wonder still!.
Not a movement, such element,
You lack of flower which you kill;"
The author is clarifying the vase, by saying "oh vase so fine and clear through vine" he's recognizing it's beauty!.

the second stanza
"Hold, not preserved, till old is served,
Then water waits until you thirst!.
Now sit for more, just like before,
And fill upon then suck at first:"

This stanza is talking about how the flower in the vase will consume the water as it gets more thirst!.


Third stanza
"The life of red, then death of black!.
Curls have fallen! again its back!."

This stanza is concluding the death of the rose, I will assume "the life of red" and as it dies it's color dies, and becomes black!.
