How do you feel emotionally when you read this poem?
Between the sheen of purple drapes,
two necklace trees stand on a cill,
by day and night like sentinels
through summer warmth and winter chill
a rush of lifetime memories.
Within their arms they clasp and hold
the chunky pinks, the greens and golds,
assorted beads that gleam in sun.
Some worn in sadness, some for fun
but all reflect a part of me.
A few are new, though most are old,
there's cheerful there as well as bold
and pearls for tears my Nan would say.
Each day there's always one I find
that mirrors well my state of mind.
They may have come steeped deep with love
or caught on impulse as I shopped.
Some dropped quite helpless in my hands
enhancement for a dress I'd bought,
yet all reflect a part of me.
One day dear girl, I'll fail to breathe,
don't grieve for me when I take leave.
Instead I ask you wear the pearls,
to complement your dark haired swirls
when you say your goodbyes to me.

I most enjoyed it and emotionally I was experiencing a transition, not joyful, if not a metaphor for humans, it's as close as it can be. Sill, AKA Cill. "UPVC window cills will do this but because the cill is not very wide, the frame is positioned at the front of the window opening."
Dark haired swirls, a metaphor, OR a phrase alluding to the srtucture of plant life, mentioned in S 1.

It does nothing for me emotionally and I found the rhyming scheme annoying. Does this mean it's a bad poem? No, but not all poems find their mark with the reader.
