See At First Sight

Spring shines a vast growth of green paled simplicity illuminate round Striking tinted tips of live bouquets lustrous scents bestow new beginnings Glance away then back again expect essentials missed with first sight Yellow in unique patterns blending to purple edges a tint shade white flower - one of kind sinks deep in pots One of an only kind like you all there is because nothing exists exactly the same Exactly exaggerates reality in all aspects beyond each season or reason in life differences take reign over precise Chosen angels can bridge apart take flight and shine original with wings unlike Guiding all to witness radiance upon seeing with first sight

Additional Notes:
Rewrite of a poem I've posted before called Blur of Rapture - I took consideration of the comments for improvement and this will stay as is - Hopefully it reads better, and the content shows I'm working on nature to write about - leaving statements and personal life on hold.

Yes, and a better poem. It has the magical indistinctness to which I've alluded often enough, though you break with it a little in the line, "all there is because nothing/exists exactly the same". Better: all there because nothing/exists the same. Be a master of understatement as a poet and NEVER over modify. I would prefer you remove "all" from your poetic vocabulary almost entirely. The phrase, "striking tinted tips...." is poetically illiterative; the subtle rhyme of "life" with "precise" in the sixth stanza is delicious and the poem stikes the imagination well throughout.

Hi Deni, I feel this is stronger than the the first version and I know you aren;t going to rewrite this anymore but I did feel that the sentences grew longer and were more extended than, perhaps, the first three verses of the piece which had a more quick-stepped beat. Neverthless, this piece is replete with imagery - color, color, color. This is a strong tribute to nature. I also like how you bring in the angels and remind all of us that all the good natural things around us are gifts from above. Enjoyed the read. Would recommend a closer look at the flow. Duane.

Deni, I think this is nice. I love spring and new flowers and new growth. First sight is good as is later sight. Things change/you change/time changes. All together they become the picture you hold dear. Yet to change again tomorrow. Life is delicious actually. I don't recall your first posting but will check it out.. Keep writing it just helps us all to know ourselves. Dellena
