Flowers as Metaphors for Love & Heartache
The Shakespearean sonnet is a classic example of using flowers as metaphors for love and heartache. In the poem, the speaker compares his beloved to a summer's day, saying that she is "more lovely and more temperate" than the season. He also compares her to a rose, saying that she has "cheeks more lovely than a rose's." By comparing his beloved to these beautiful flowers, the speaker is expressing his deep love for her.

Flowers as Metaphors (continued): A Tribute to My Darling Mother
A tribute to my dearest mother,
Loved and cherished like no other,
A life so full of beauty and grace,
Like a garden of wildflowers in bloom, each a unique hue and face.
Dedicated and hardworking every day,
Her love for us never waned or swayed,
Like the most vibrant petals of a rose,
Her spirit forever blooms in our hearts, never fully closed.
Her heart was like a fragrant daisy field,
No matter what storm clouds life may yield,
Her wisdom and guidance kept us strong,
Gentle reminders that we belonged.
Her love was like a sunflower's ray,
Bringing warmth to our hearts' dismay.
Her laughter like the sweet scent of jasmine perfume,
Filling our lives with joy and contentment too soon.
She was an ever-blooming garden of love and care,
A mother who was always there.
