Exiting the spotlight
Cast carelessly aside
Like day-old doughnuts.
In an instant,
Past perfection fades
Standing next to
Exquisite talent.

To My Dearest Girl
To my dearest girl: In this world, there is no rush to find a partner. There is no need to rush into a relationship or give your heart away. Entrusting your life to yourself is more stable and reassuring than entrusting it to anyone else.

Past perfection fades. Nicely Done!!
so short but so to the point! Great Poem!
This is great Elizabeth, and one of the more original entries so far. Makes me think of Black Swan or something of that kind. "Cast carelessly aside Like day-old doughnuts."- great line!
Oooo, I loved this take on Eclipse! Astounding creation! Newly subscribed as well!
We've all been there: "In an instant, (our) Past perfection fades Standing next to Exquisite talent." Some days, we're the day-old donuts. Loved your poem!
