She was used to physical danger; she could fight back against that. But this... this was psychological warfare. Dead lilies symbolized death, endings, and farewell. It was a threat, yes, but more than that, it was an attempt to destabilize her mind. It was saying, I know where you are. I know what you do. I can reach you whenever I want.

don't you? Amelia slowly held the bloodstained anemone close to her face again, watching it wither in a span of seconds’ right before her very eyes until it began to wither and crumble into dust.

Little princess, what are you trying to tell me?

and stood up, I felt like he wanted to say something but then decided against it and just nodded, I went upstairs and grabbed all my stuff. He also took out all his stuff and we started working on it, the poem was easy but I don’t think our teacher would’ve asked us to do an assignment if it was this easy, we had to search for symbolic meanings or what we thought it might mean, we thought that the poem showed how the poet felt through trees and greenhouse, they felt trapped. We started working on it and it took us a lot of time to finish half of the assignment, we decided to take a small break and just watch a movie, I brought juice and some snacks for us and we just sat there, relaxing.

The metaphors were stark, the imagery vivid, the symbolism unmistakable. I was the protagonist in a tragic tale, with my father and Herald playing the roles of villainous antagonists. The plot was complex, the themes multifaceted, and the language was laced with the venom of cruelty and deceit. It was a poem of despair, of desperation, of survival against all odds. And I was the one being forced to live it, to endure the agony of each carefully crafted line.

can I watch my kingdom being consumed by the enemy and flooded with shouting and blood? I got up and headed to the small table where my black cloak with the bloody rose pin was. My symbolism. My hand trembled as I caressed it. It was momentarily hit by the sunlight that penetrated the curtain of the window of the hut causing it to sparkle in my eyes for a moment. My symbolism is the sign to everyone that I am their princess holding the power of the blood pink. By the time all the red roses in our whole kingdom die it only indicates that I have left.

It was a heartfelt ode to white tulips, their delicate petals symbolizing purity and new beginnings. I couldn't help but be captivated by the imagery woven into the verses, each line resonating with a sense of hope and renewal. It was as if the poem had been written just for me, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there was always the promise of a fresh start. Lost in the beauty of the words, I barely noticed as the reader returned to my station, a curious expression on her face. "Is everything okay?" she asked, her concern evident in her voice.

I could smash bricks w/ my silence & then screw & shout ‘till my bones crow to ask: do you remember your neighbor’s rabbit that fell in love w/ the rooster because it’s the Year of the Rabbit? what about rain trees, purple prose, the scattered zines & rhizomes? don’t they all speak of the symbolic symptom? feel free to say it out loud. panda-eyed, freezing cold, I know. I know the feeling, the stroke of the bokuseki brush, the memory on the wall like graffitied genitalia from the ceiling to the floor. I speak my mind free. i speak it free like when you spill secrets in a public phone box, insisting that writers send ideas to prison

As we progressed, the path split into three distinct directions, each marked with a cryptic symbol: a flame, a droplet, and a gust of wind. Liora studied them intently. "Elements of nature. But what do they signify?" Altair approached the flame symbol, his hand hovering over it. "Fire often represents passion, energy, transformation." Seraphina, her gaze fixed on the droplet, added, "Water could signify intuition, emotion, the flow of life." I was drawn to the gust of wind. "Wind, always in motion, can symbolize change, freedom, the unseen forces that guide us." A soft chuckle echoed through the labyrinth, Nyxos' voice ethereal and omnipresent. "Choose wisely, travelers. For each path reflec

“Like it’s been burnt – like it’s dead. The next line, it ends with the word hearse. Then, okay: wave, tidal curse – to me, anyway, that sounds like a tsunami, or some sort of deadly environmental catastrophe. And the scariest bit? The word looming.” “How do you know so much about poetry?” I asked. I kept my eyes fixed on the road ahead, but I so desperately wanted to turn as she spoke. Her voice was vibrant, coloured with interest and curiosity. I saw her shrug from the corner of my eye. “We studied it in school recently. I guess some of it stuck. Anyway – I’d tread carefully, Ari.
