not even perfection
majestic
amber glow
of scarlet
curves
rest
over swirls
of diluted jade
and intense
sapphire waters
minutes of elegance
swept away
as perfection
abandons the heavens
nothing
lasts forever

Hey Miss O.
This was my favourite part...
"Not Even Perfection...
majestic amber glows
of scarlet curves
rest
over swirls
of diluted jade
and intense sapphire waters
minutes of elogance
swept away
as perfection
abandons the heavens
nothing
lasts forever "

Re: Not Even Perfection...
Ok, I'll start with my own personal nit-picks:
In a minimalist poem such as this one I would also take out the capitals in the title and remove the ellipse at the end.
The first line got me questioning something straight away. Can 'glow' be plural and countable? I know something can glow, so it glows which requires an 's'. Just something that seemed strange to me. I'm also not sure what the amber glows and scarlet curves are. It's a bit cryptic and I was thinking maybe Sun or fire but then why scarlet?
I get the rest though. :) and it is described wonderfully and very colourful. The only other suggestion I would make as it's a short poem is space it out a bit more. The more space between certain lines/verses is very important at adding emphasis. Before the last two lines I'd personally leave two spaces because it's more than strong enough to stand on its own and breathe.
The poem is really good at the wrap up at the end is beautiful. Most of what I said is just personal preference; sometimes better to ignore it. :)

I would never ignore such sound advice from a great poet like yourself.
I think glow is better.
Scarlet is a red/orange color, I used to describe the color the sky looks as the sun is setting.
I agree, it is better with more space. Thank you fot that.
I really appreciate the time and effort in your feedback Mr. A ;)
