There stand angels
on the edge of
time, cotton
fluff balanced on
the needle.
Ageless, untouched
frail beauty
rather left alone.

You write beautiful a beautiful short poem. I can almost see what your talking about. If anything. It leaves the reader to use their imagination to see an image within the poem.
I was glad to read it, it made me smile.

This is very beautifully written and yes it does seem impressionistic. I have to agree with nogenreneeded; the first thing that came to mind is dandelion fluff. This vision of angels is kinda how I would invision faeries. Winged creatures.
Excellent write. A lot of image packed into a few words.
God bless,

I hate you! God, you can make such short poems.. so beautiful! I got like such a pretty image of an angel in my head.. and it was a mere.. like 7 lines long! .. I've been really hooked on writting about angels too.. I don't know why. I don't have them posted yet.. but when I do I'll let you know.
Awesome poem!

Wow that is the most delicate image I have read in a while. the stightest whisper and poof. there is a part that wants to tiptoe past, another wants to hold my breath and just gaze in wonder and the last impish part wants to see what happens if I blow across it like a dandilion gone to seed... Thank you for sharing this beauty this morning...Susan
