PR 3: Lilacs in September

This poem links the life of a lilac to that of person. It was torn and disfigured by the furry of a hurricane. The turmoil reaches all the way to the root of the plant like frustration would reach the heart of human. This lilac faces many challenges through the storm, but in the end it still continues with its life. Nothing is changed in its process even though it is mutilated. We as humans should take this and apply it to our own lives. The storm can relate to anything tragic or of great importance that has affected your life. You need to take this and pick yourself back up. Nothing is too terrible in your life to slow you down and defeat you. We must continue with our lives as the lilac did. Survival is key.

I really like this poem. It really came easily to me. Everyone should be able to relate to this poem and I think that is the main reason I like it so much. The linkage between the lilac and humans is very apparent. No matter the how bad the problems are we face, they are not enough to make us quit. We push forward and conquer the problem. You will be able to continue with your normal life. The storm is never to strong.
