Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

A Wilted Beauty

I held a beautiful flower in my hand...
I watched it lean where the sun ran...
My fingers and warmth slowed its growth...
So I let it go for its beauty to float...
It flourished in a world of sun and peace...
But soon the days ran and the sun was a tease...
Wilted and sad it now fades too fast...
And with a fall chill this beauty did soon pass...

Tim B October 23, 2011 at 10:59 AM Michael you capture the theme of life well with this one. The sadness that all things must come to pass. I like how you subtly personify the flower without actually coming right out with it. Beautiful poetry as always my friend.

Johnny Sumler October 23, 2011 at 8:07 AM What a beautiful introduction and opening line to capture the theme and poetic presentation leading to the demise of beauty...beauty in itself! Thanks for the compliments. I'm sure I'll see this entry in the winners circle!
