The purpose of this essay is to analyse how techniques used in Leaving Prince Charming Behind andThis is Love change my opinion of love. The two poems by Karlo Mila, Leaving Prince Charming Behind and This Is Love look at love at two different points of views- fairytale and gardening, respectively.

Karlo Mila believes that even if the roses are long stemmed / bikini lined / full lipped / red perfect, these superficial attractiveness will only last a moment. However, by pruning or watering, it shows that the person values this relationship; hence, he will continue to contribute in order to preserve this relationship. The use of imag...
