everything goes
everything goes
the thorn and the rose
everything goes
the beat and the ryhme
it all goes in time
the summer beach
and the lake that froze :
everything goes
everything goes
the dawn and the dusk
the shine and the rust
the broom and the dust
the corn and the husk
the sun and the snow
the song and the show
everything goes
everything goes

vrosej10about 13 years agoI love this one. You show sorrow and loss without telling. This one is getting a recommend.
Angelineabout 13 years agoThe assonance and repetition gives the poem a chant or song-like quality. And I love the double meaning of "It all goes in time." Easy five.
greenmountaineerabout 13 years agoSomething about this really grabbed my attention. I think it may have been the fast paced rhythm, the smartly placed repetition of "everything goes," and short lines that re-inforce how quickly the rose fades and even the thorn crumbles to dust.
I also liked the amplification of images in S5 following with the 2 images in the stanza that immediately preceded it, a nice variation on sound and images.
It made me think of Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay."
This was well crafted, an easy "5" in my book.
