become a match for any catchy tune?
Could it command your feelings or your thoughts
long after it has faded from the scene
the way great music or a poem can?
Or could a rose, caught in the corner of your eye,
be there until sound sleep washed it away?
What Nature breeds, it seems, can grab the soul,
but only man's creations can hold on.
And that's it for a bit. I'm taking a few days' break from blogging to see what else this great world offers. Hope to see you all at the weekend - D.V. W.P. U.S.A.

Beautiful, the poem and the flower :o)
Wonderful words.
I have some flowers for you too on my blog.
I wish you a wonderful Sunday. Be back soon, please!
I read your posts regularly in bed on my Blackberry.
:-)))
Have a good break Dave. Well deserved.
I for one know i am haunted by landscapes in the same way as music. some scenes I have returned to time and again either to be reminded of what first grabbed me or to try to capture it perfectly through the lens.
Enjoy your break. Don't be gone too long. Reading your poems makes me smarter... and I can't afford to go too long with out...
I do think that many things stay with a person...landscapes, poems, music.....and sometimes surface again at unexpected times! Enjoy your time away. We all should give ourselves a break sometime.
I completely identify with this poem! Beautiful!
The rose looks delicate like bone china, with light shining through. Very pretty rose photo.
I think you captured your feelings very well here Dave - thank you for sharing.
Lovely poem, and a beautiful flower. Both give pause. Thank you.
what a beautiful rose, have alovely break!
Great snapshot and a beautiful verse. Have a great time, Dave!

Happy days off! I'm sure it'll feed your words.
amazing grace in your words and the rose.
keep it up.
It's true, that man and his capturing methods, be it painting or poetry, are what preserve images down through time.
Have a nice rest.
Beautiful...
Hi All!
Please excuse the general reply, but a big thank you for all the kind words and wishes. I shall do my best to see that the break does indeed feed my words.
A warm welcome and a special thank you, though, to first time commentors ds and Joe. Much appreciated remarks
What an interesting perspective. I never thought if it that way! Good verse!
Beautiful indeed both words and image and yes an image can haunt the mind and soul :) Happy holiday!
I think you caught it wonderfully.
So very beautifully expressed...and thought provoking.
Every reason that it could be just as beautiful from behind.
I've posted something on my blog which I'd love your reactino to, if you're ever stuck for inspiration. Of course I understand that it might NOT in fact inspire you! (If I had been a poet, it would have inspired me, anyway. )
