Hibiscus

Coming to the fore 

For a momentary injection

Of light or meaning.

Kisses the day, withers,

And is forgotten.

A thought in Bedlam.

I love this. I have often gotten a tune or lyric whilst out walking and then lost it into the ether. I call them my lost babies. I love this.

KInd of a mix of free verse and free association (I think!) I really liked this! It's very hard to write so sparingly and yet put so much meaning within. Great write!

My mind takes me to thoughts of lost love on this piece, well done.

Short and bittersweet... A refreshing combo indeed! You see, these are the kind of poems that I love reading. With so few words, you really have to make the ones you have count, and you did just that my friend! Plus, you get brownie points for using "Bedlam". Anyways, excellent work, my friend, truly excellent. :)
