This book is a compilation of both brief and medium-length compositions, expressing sentiments in the form of verse.
A collection of poems and brief expressions - A Book of Short Sorrows.
Feelings are like flowers.
They can be bright and innocent like sunflowers, or passionate like roses.
They can bloom beautifully in a carefully protected greenhouse or flourish in the wild, withstanding the challenges of the changing seasons.
Some are short-lived, like daisies that come and go. Others can go on much longer, rare perennial blossoms.
Love is like water.
It can be like the gentle trickling of a spring or harsh as the rushing rivers.
Flowers wither without it and rot with too much.
Flowers need water to live but they need more than that to bloom.
This is a record of growth and withering.
