Morning Glory

looking at an old photo I took years ago

Morning Glory:

Morning glory in a spring face,

golden framed photo memory 

of future splendor to embrace-

a promise of full beauty to be.

Close by a hedge apple tangle,

regrets posing as a dark dream

skirting a stained crown bramble-

a painting of past long forgotten.

The past and the future poetically portrayed and with beauty. I was drawn to spring and saw a host of golden daffodils dancing in spring sunshine. I am a great Wordsworth fan. Lovely imagery here carl of future days to come.

The contrast between the two verses catches the eye immediately. The question is which is present and which is past. I know verse 2 is identified as past, but I am still not certain as to which preceded which.

so much to consider here in your review, interesting question which I will investigate - I sense that each is in the past the first pointing ahead to the future and the second pointing back at even a more previous time. I will give this some more thought - thanks for your read and review - also playing with the idea of modifying the two stanza into a third and fourth in the form of an analogy - will see what comes of it. thanks again for the inspiration and encouragement - carl

This is a gossamer beauty of mixed colors; delicate description and moody nostalgia. It's a pleasing palette to paint from if one is so fortunate. I greatly enjoyed the read.

Many thanks for the read and review especially the moody nostalgia - exactly from where it came.
