Written: September 19, 2023 Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age. James Joyce
Fragmented Verse: is a rhyme form created by Constance la France ______________________________________________ As days fade, dimming their hissing light. A whisper among aspens is overheard. Perishable eyes blink—ephemeral and slight. Angels framed a scarlet sky—tempers blurred. Dawn's advent is tomorrow's embrace. The transient is thawing, leaving no trace. As time expands, a void of silence will brace. Akin to a puddle that sinks with the dawn dew. But bewitchery bleach, bolt broad bias blue? Paths that diverge fade away as ripples in view. Every day, it fades quickly but remains in sight. Fade, sporadic, and shallow as a stroll preferred. The unstoppable specter of time is in the face. Love and unity shape life, not time spent anew.

Dear Lasaad, your lyrical, beautiful imagery is framed perfectly in the Fragmented verse form. A deep, rich dramatic poem composed with rhythmic rhymes and poetic finesse. I especially admired " A whisper among aspens is overheard" and "Love and unity shape life" - so true! Exquisite writing! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

This is such a gorgeous read dear Sotto. So many sublime poetic lines,’Angels framed a scarlet sky’, ‘akin to a puddle that sinks with the dawn dew’. Glorious! So love the last concluding line as well. This new form suits your immense poetic talent so well. Loved it! Thank you for sharing. Blessings go to you.
