MATURITY

MATURITY

                                             

Now emerged.

Now exposed.

No more on life’s protected throne

as childhood takes its leave.

  • Comment from author about the poem: There's been a few thoughtful shorties posted of late so thought I would add to them - plus a watercolour of Venice also painted as a quickie - about 15 minutes actually - would love to return - maybe soon.

      Cheers s - actually it's great working quickly - makes you loosen up - always a good exercise.

      Good write and the last line is so meaningful.

      Apparently it's a bit wet in Venice I am led to believe. Good artwork.

      As you know by now, I am a big fan of the four line poem, and this is a fine example. Not much of an art critic, but love the poem, Michael!

        Ta muchly Louis - I also like couplets although I haven't written any for a little while - must get the pen out.

        Perfect poem. You are a great water color artist. Even your quickies are good.
