Lovely! ‘dying colours of the day,’ fragrance of bruised petals’, ‘scent of a good bye’all packed so crisply in just four lines! Awesome imagery and craftsmanship!
Love the imagery you create with the “fragrance of bruised petals” being “the scent of goodbye”.
The way I interpret it, and if I’m close then it’s something I believe, that, there is a certain beauty in the way things come to an end just like there is love in letting go as well. No?
WOW!
“fragrance of bruised petals
the scent of a goodbye”
Seriously brought a tear to my eye.
My first 2 inspired by yours, the others been in my archives since December 2016
made me feel lonely sad night
read loved and reread again
loneliness beat a shout heard
my wife not asleep
—-
dusk settingsun goodbye day
dark clouds fly dappling moonlight
shadows dance to subtle base
natures orchestras
—-
frantic gasps voice begging help
inadequate attendants
forlorn now long drawn-out breaths
stranded whale lays dead
—-
bird cherries not yet in bloom
awaiting spring winter still holds
feed the birds keeps them happy
flu still prevailing
That made me cry. Yes , these dodoitstsus are fabulous, you can turn your hand to anything , and very good at it. Hope you posted , will check. Regards to the missus ! Thank you for writing Mick.
Aw! I do all the time, in fact I have to take a walk, night or day, just so I don’t upset anybody else. Again thank you for your kind supportive words, and yes posted, thanks again,

Yep. So many ways to interpret, depends on the state of mind , but you got that ! I like the way you analyze. You get to the heart of the verse.
