perfection (Zen)

Missing image

fragrance floats
morning dewdrops glisten as
soft petals unfurl
for perfections other name
must certainly be rose

    Very stunning write

  • I find the word "bejeweled" perhaps a bit too fancy of a word for the zen atmosphere you portray in this piece. The image itself is lovely and it's great to see you have such a craft with the style. That particular word just bugs me, that is all.

      corected you are right

      • Now what you have chosen here, "morning dewdrops"

        a summer morning, that keeps the somber undertone much more consistent, I rather like that a whole lot better! Better than I would have chosen!

    And you write perfection as well and I mean that most sincerely. I also loved the 'bejeweled raindrops'

      my humble thanks and a grin my dear friend

      here only Rosa Rugusa will grow, climate too harsh, I long for the cabbage and musk roses whose sweet scents balnket the senses
