Transience - interpretations?

Question

This was literally written in under a minute in a fit of irritation over an assignment in my creative writing class. It was a bloody stupid assignment. *grumbles* No it is not a haiku, nor meant to be.

The white jasmine

blossoms falling in an eternal storm

The scent

whispers in the wind

lingers

then fades.

Answer 1

The "bloody stupid assignment" must have somehow inspired your muse because this is really quite lovely.To me it speaks of the fact that eternity is made up of single moments, moments that "linger, then fade", that nothing is permanent.  I would go on to say that to me it implies that one must live in the moment, enjoy the fragrances (nuances) of life because they are all too fleeting.  Thank you.
