brittle
warmth of sun
melting midnight crystal
the flag of patience
waves a cold, cold breeze
one touch too soon
and all will crumble

a beautiful verse to remind us that caution is generally a good idea.

You are a beautiful poet. I really enjoy the sensorial experience of what you write. thank you

Terrific image & sentiment, catapulting my senses to include many projects & relationships that can be in the same state, that one must approach with the same alacrity. Nice job, hope to see it on OLN123 today.

ah nice…so well captured how unbelievable beauty and brittleness go hand in hand sometimes…

Wonderfull description of a world in frost… just wonderful
November 19th, 2013 at 3:13 pm
delicately vivid
November 19th, 2013 at 3:14 pm
Succint and fragile. >KB

Such a complete and vivid thought and image, Kelly! What plant is that?
November 19th, 2013 at 3:49 pm
Catching up on your latest psts and as usual, they are all perfect and many of them moving.
Hope that what ails you will wither like the leaves.

“One touch too soon and all will crumble” – Makes me think of many situations actually in which we rush the necessary process of life. Always a pleasure to read here 🙂

Readiness is all in this fragile existence.
November 19th, 2013 at 4:59 pm
I definitely have experienced the crumbling….one must wait until the proper moment to touch!

A scintillating description of Autumn

this time of year, everything it ready to crumble..interesting on the flag of patience…one thing i oft need to be reminded to work on…smiles.

loved the punch this little piece gave

Filled with contrasting images and thoughts…a picture of nature, but one that transposes to a narrative of an emotional state as well. Very nicely done.

Precious and delicate….poignant and beautiful.
November 19th, 2013 at 6:52 pm
One touch too soon. I can relate. Your words touched a spot in me I didn’t know was there.
November 19th, 2013 at 7:56 pm
In the cold air it might all crumble around us..sad…
November 19th, 2013 at 8:25 pm
lovely poem..the words woven so exquisitely..you can feel the careful patience as if to keep the words from crumbling..I agree with Steve as well, how the nature poem transposes adequately to signify the delicate nature of an emotional conditional.
November 19th, 2013 at 9:37 pm
“one touch too soon
and all will crumble” soo powerful… this poem can relate to many situations… amazing how you kept it so short… really says a lot
