Notes About The Poem

the humble vase

artsy
yet subtle
not asking for credit
the backup
timid
the sidekick
content as backdrop
in support
quiet

wanton blooms 
receiving the attention
and applause

CayCay Jennings Date: 3/14/2025 10:31:00 AM Much is conveyed in your short lines of depth. I enjoyed your write. Is free verse your favorite form? I may not get an answer so consider it a rhetorical question. Good to read you, and to be the first to comment. Poetry hugs ...
