Ephemeral Happiness ( Euphonous English WS part#2)

Seize
All the
Ephemeral
Happiness that
Life is offering, whenever you can
For they'll fly one by one 'way in no span;
They'll be drifted
Forever
Away
Man

Changing...

and ephemeral pleasures, are the product of fertile minds. A mind that is not used, becomes stagnant and useless. I se that you have found ways to keep actively engaging in the world of poetry. Your use of the many forms of poetry, are astonishing.
Good work! ~ Geezer.

Always enlightened

Great to have discovered a new format. Seems fairly restrictive and I dig your choice of words given the somewhat limited options.
