A summer chrysanthemum
Wilting ever so quickly
Winter comes so cruelly
Adore this dying flower
A moral poem to relish your youth while you can, in the form of a Chinese jueju. It was tough, because each line had to consist of 20 characters (brushstrokes in Chinese, another word for letters in English), and I had to keep each line at 7 syllables each.


Tell me what you think, please.


EDIT: Fixed some stuff

I love Chrysanthemums. They are beautiful, and I wish we could have them where I live. :heart:

This was a beautiful little read. :heart:
