I tried to draw a rose today
but noise and life got in the way
my pencil finally took control
what it drew I hardly know
“it’s good I guess” I tell the pad
I sniff the scent of rubber band
I tried to draw a rose today
crumpled paper, thrown away
*
rare beauty
inhale, no bottle can hold
rose succulence
Flowers can cheer a frown into a smile. Poets United knows this well and so the prompt this week is Flowers!!!
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe

I like your drawing. Appreciate your poem more because I’ve been learning how to draw and paint and realize how hard it is to capture beauty on paper.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. We draw what we see and feel…not to replicate the subject exactly…leave that to nature.

Noise and life do get in the way, but what you missed in drawing you created in verse. 🙂

The sketch is beautiful and honours the flower it captures. And yes, real flowers are small miracles of beauty.
