    Violets of Violence

    Violets

    The violets
    are back in bloom.
    Blue, black and purple patches
    adorn her tender landscape.

    Planted by his calloused hands,
    the favorite flowers of the violent,
    sprout beneath a shower
    of tears.

    Your poem is metaphoric. Indeed a figure of speech.

    I like this kind of poem, reality is vivified indeed.

    Here you presented a circumstance that is unruffled serenity.
    And you did not withhold the reality that beguiles a beauty.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    I decided to drop "Violence" from the title to make the subject more subtle.
