Your poem shines, Jo-- dwelling in lovely adjectives and verbs--aptly done for the contest theme.

Yours is a definitely 'delightful' Diamante, Jo. It shows that all things of beauty must be handled with care; there could be the risk of being hurt if taken for granted. ~ Regards // paul

Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. My father-in-law used to say," there are thorns among the roses but aren't those roses sweet".

You pretty much ran the gamut of that scenario. Nicely done, Jo.
