Aging is not for the faint of heart! I am only mid-aged (depending on how long I live too, of course) and, truthfully, I have already experienced things I never thought would happen. I know that only increases as the years go by, but we\'re all in it...so cheers! 🍻 Well done, my friend. Thoroughly enjoyed this sonnet. 🌹👏

I love poems about poisons, and the flower being part of it is amazing

How sad that this relationship should turn toxic with the years. Not uncommon these days and it appears to be her own fault. I looked up oleander, a plant I didn’t know much about only to discover just how poisonous it is. The metaphor works well here sorenbarrett. Another fab write.

Wow! In this I read the journey of a woman whose sole desire was to be loved. This desire, however, led her into a toxic relationship, symbolized by the poison tea. I have often wondered what leads one to be attracted to toxic people, but that really oversimplifies relationships and how they progress. In fact, that stands out in this poem: the progression shows how initial passion fades over time, leaving her abandoned and disillusioned. There is a sense of resignation in the final stanza, the years of pain having accumulated and hopes having been devoured by time (Chronos). This, my friend, is image-rich and a wonderful poetic expression. Loved the inclusion of Eros and Chronos too! 🌹👏
