Blossom Time

Lasting,just a moment
Transitory as snow
Indelible impressions
Stay,and never go


In a Shoreham Garden by Samuel Palmer

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 6/3/2009 10:18:00 AM Yours is better (more sophistocated), but this poem reminded me a bit of Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May by Robert Herrick. But while outer beauty fades, your beautiful soul will maintain its glory forever, Brian. Great poem! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply

Sharon Winter Date: 6/3/2009 4:53:00 AM Wow. Incredible Ekphrasis. The painting is beautiful, the reality even more so. Your poem is the perfect capture of the apple blossoms (and many fruit tree blossoms) in its brief beauty and everlasting memory. Wonderful. Love, Shar Login to Reply
