Poem Number 23244
Perishes to nousrish
Commentary:
There stands a lonely rose
Among the thorny bush
As Bees compete to savor
With buzzing swift wings
Elegant petals wave in glee
Dews, shiny rolling gems
A mist passed by, caressing.
The beauty, though shy
Spreads its fragrance around
The inviting aroma of-
Her elegant virgin blush,
Exalts my heart so high.
A day or two would pass
I would see her petals wither
Mingled with the dust below
Leaving the seed to its stem
And soon it would emerge
With a tender stem popping
For us to relish her again
A bud with the mildest smile
Parting its rosy lips of petals
Freshening our low hearts
Coloring our lives all the way
As one perishes many are born.

This poem is just too busy with images, it doesn't let your mind settle
and the message gets lost in that.

I think my last comment sounded more negative than I intended it to.
Oh my let me see if I can explain,
Just meant, so many amazing images some need isolated to give them the respect they deserve.
Do you understand my reason?
Example my eyes want to rest on the image of “a lonely rose, among the thorny bush”, just relishing that image
but I am immediately bombarded with “bees buzzing with swift wings”
and then while my mind is on those swift wings fluttering,
I am drawn from that, to petal waving,
then from that to the image of dew drops rolling down
and from that to a mist that is passing by
and then from that to the flow now spreading its aroma, etc, etc, etc,
Oh my me, I am exhausted keeping up with the images while my mind still wants to be dwelling on the image of the lonely rose, sitting there among the thorny bush.
Makes my mind ask, how could the rose be lonely with all the activity going on around it,
or were you trying to contrast the lonely rose with all the
busyness around it?
Oh my me, your images are wonderful, I just think some parts of your presentation
leeches from the other parts.
Sorry, but I like your work. You are talented so much!

I think it's absolutely fabulous. You give me a beautiful image of the location of this lonely rose and giving it a theme. Everyone's writing is unique and your style is quite imaginative. I really enjoyed reading.
