Very original and I like the image of a crown of thorns. M. Walker.

While the image of the crown of thorns evokes Christ and religion, the very quiet human image of flat white champagne brings the poem back to earth. Pride...it does interesting things to the psyche. I like this poem and your use of alliteration at the beginning and within words works well. Another really well done poem. Brings to mind my own personal failures and falls. Thanks.

This evocative poem gracefully reflects on the fleeting seasons of life, from vibrant rise to inevitable fade. The imagery of budding and blooming, contrasted with a reaper's gloved hands cutting candy, captures the essence of time's passage and the bittersweet nature of existence.

Vivid images that stay in the mind: ' A coronet of crimson/ Crowned with thorns'. Fine poem.

Budding and blooming are natural processes. A coronet of crimson crowned with thorns amazes mind. Crown is the symbol of victory. This poem is well narrated. Re-visiting this values more....10

A coronet of crimson Crowned with thorns On shrouded laden tables Lovely lines.

Most effective alliteration- 'a coronet of crimson/ crowned...' Excessive pride leads to a fall, which your dazzling poem hints at.
