What say you poets of this Trigee?

Life /A Garden

Through the change---- like garden variety
life's many swings---moods of colour
Different emotions--- in a Crystal metaphor vase
Dealt with each day--- petals of opportunity
A new challenge ---- presents itself

The Trigee is a three-in-one poem.
They are built by combining two short poems into a third large one
by stringing the lines together.
The left stanza is read first, the right stanza second,
then the combined lines make the third poem.
There are no rhyme and meter requirements

Edit to the verses above!

Dealt with each day, . . .petals of opportunity
New challenges . . . present themselves.

This is very good. I especially like the right side as a poem, but they are all wonderful. Great overall message too.

I haven't been answering much lately but I've been reading still, and I remember reading this one.
I can't remember who's answer this was but:

petals=plural
itself=singular

Therefore:

Dealt with each day, . . .petals of opportunity
New challenges . . . present themselves.

I thought was a good suggestion.

Thanks for re-posting.

That's very lovely; "crystal metaphor vase" is a metaphor itself, for poetry. Well penned...

Life is....................................A beautiful arrangement
One with thorns......................But short-lived
We bleed...............................Each day
It's a trial..............................Yet must be held
Close to the heart..................Ever closer
Though it wounds us.............Without remorse.

I hope you really do breed Maltese dogs. They are so adorable (Andrew got a raw deal). Bless you sweatheart, you write a lovely poem.
