A free verse poetry, “A New Flaunting of Color.”
The seasons change so quickly. Sometimes capturing a picture is all we can have of “what once was“. The beauty of time is only for a moment, hanging in her color, the youth of faces of brief faces. Before gone. Beauty is in the pause, a reflection of what is given. A free verse poetry and digital art piece to emphasize.
Free Verse Poetry: A New Flaunting of Color
Every flower a new flaunting;
of color upon the gardens of Eden;
But the hurry of the breeze—
Leaves petals to hold briefly,
and at the close of the day,
I shall merely, only have seen
half their blossoms, and leave no
trace of their seeds behind.
I meant to capture a picture;
so that I could look back,
and compare their differences in
pattern and fragrance.
It is at times, I am in such hurry,
and that I have not dedicated myself
to the appreciation of life.

What is a Free Verse Poetry? Typically patterned by speech rather than meter, this form of poetry is very open to the author’s discretion and usually does not rhyme. Visual and sound effects are often employed. It can have as many lines as the writer wishes.

I know what you mean about hurry and not being able to look back and appreciate what you saw at a later time. Sad!

I wonder how much fleeting beauty have we been in too much of a hurry to notice? There is so much to savour with all our senses if we would only take the time to do so.
