Like a flashlight
you flash past me
So flashy
before I could even blink
Still on you I focus
But you flashily dash away
Making me stare
at your flashes
As I wonder
why you’d choose to be flashing
When you can be permanent
And let your flashy flashlight
Flash eminently.

Great word usage. I never knew how many different ways the word flash could be used! That being said, it is a great One Shot.

Love the play on words. The repetition of flash in various forms. Fun!
ah – there are people, they just can’t be permanent – know some of them as well – they have to be enjoyed when they flash by and can’t be made to stay…
nice poem
Very nice!!! It flashed in my mind some thoughts, as I wondered why…
Loved the part where you ask why it couldn’t be permanent! It was awesome!!!
Lovely, love it!

Definitely a flashy poem.
Enjoyed it.
He sounds like one fresh flasher. Light and full of sparkling wit. I LOVE your eye catcher photos – the colors, textures… superb photography!!
Maybe she does that on purpose…trying to get more “flash” attention from you!! So much fun Em…good One Shot. ~ Hugs x
And it’s gone in a flash. Good one – enjoyed reading it.
Nicely done as the words flash before my eyes and light the senses in poetic admirations 🙂 well done ~April
Maybe she’s having hot flashes.
Too much rushing around in the world 🙂
Great poem, Em. I think you ask a question through your lines that perhaps no man can answer.IDK lol The analogy and double meaning is brilliant. Cheers!
I agree with Brian, a fun read…and why not shine??? Great One Shot
always making me think of something that would have otherwise just flashed past. I love that about poets – make ya think
