After Robert Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay”

Life is a night and day,

Passes quickly and cannot stay.

The flower that was so splendid,

At a moment’s notice, descended.

And as the globe continues to tilt,

The flower continues to wilt.

The time has already passed,

This night shall be my last.

Note: I’m trying to imitate Robert Frost’s poem Nothing Gold Can Stay.
