Suzanne Delaney Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

This poem is about the endless cycle of life on earth.

Every Beautiful Thing

Lightning , rainbows, mountains, oceans, clouds
What seems to be random in creation, taunts us.
Dreamy, drifting, sometimes dangerous
every emotion, every sense, every molecule connected.

Plants, creatures, meteors, moving into forever.
Seeds, stars, flowers hold impossible answers.
Time, mystery, untold generations of life forms;
every beautiful thing destined to return.

 Suzanne Delaney

Paris-Maree Boreham July 22, 2018 at 1:13 AM Just wanted to write- I liked this, it's a lovely rejuvenating soul-lifting poem, well done Suzanne Delaney ! Suzanne Delaney July 22, 2018 at 7:06 AM G’Day Paris~Maree: Lovely to see you and thanks for reading and commenting. Have a wonderful day. SuZ

Pashang Salehi February 8, 2016 at 4:53 PM Hi Suzanne, this is a very beautiful poem, but the form you chose Ghazal is not. This is a beautiful free verse or something in that category. Poetrysoup has a great definition and example of ghazal. From the comments, I realized your poem was featured on the weekly site, congratulation on that as well. You may email me, gladly I'll discuss this further. Pashang Suzanne Delaney February 8, 2016 at 6:05 PM Hi Pashang: When I first posted this I selected Free Verse as the form, but the ' jump glitch' here at the soup drops it to the next one in the list. I have only ever written one Ghazal and I know this is not it. Thanks for bringing my attention to it. I will go in and edit it to fix the mistake. Cheers, SuZ

Iris E. Sankey- Lewis January 29, 2016 at 12:16 PM Suzanne, I went forthwith to your ghazal because I like that form and is not yet keen on writing it. Enjoyed the full gamut of your little gem. Suzanne Delaney January 30, 2016 at 3:19 PM Thanks Iris: Appreciate you reading and commenting.

Timothy Hicks October 21, 2014 at 1:24 PM You expand the mind and inspire wonder in this beautiful piece. "What seems to be random in creation, taunts us." <<< you should look up the Fibonacci sequence... you'll find an amazing amount of order hidden within... it's very fascinating :) Suzanne Delaney November 8, 2014 at 1:41 PM your suggestion re Fibbonacci tweaked a memory of something I had saved.

Andrea Dietrich December 27, 2013 at 9:01 AM did you see Peter Duggun's recent poem he wrote inspired by this one? your poem was both beautiful and inspiring!! (yeah, I almost didn't do the Xmas wedding poem either!!)
