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

Posted this earlier only got 2 replys thought of doing it again, thanks for the comments!

Update:

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

Update 2:

Mixtli that was Reenie the queen of Trigee! Thanks spitfire for your compliment!

Update 3:

ooops so sorry mispelled your name Sptfyr anyway thanks!

Update 4:

Edit to the verses above!

Dealt with each day, . . .petals of opportunity

New challenges . . . present themselves.

Update 5:

Yes I do Grandma Jane they are a inspiration and joy to me!

Update 6:

Yes I do Grandma Jane they are a inspiration and joy to me!

    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.
