Waterfall
L. B. Mek said:

ok so i know y\'all think I\'m pitifully crazy
cos I choose to be somewhat, overtly effusive
in my appreciation of the poetry y\'all share..
but here, lets compare
your succinct and vivid, poem
with one of the greatest
to ever lift a pen
(admittedly, I may be a fool
but equally, all y\'all Poetry is truly awesome):
\' — but the waterfall itself, which
I came suddenly upon, gave me a pleasant
twinge. First
we stood a little below the head
about halfway down the first fall, buried
deep in trees, and saw it streaming
down two more descents to the depth
of near fifty feet. Then we went
on a jut of rock nearly level
with the second fall-head, where
the first fall was above us
and the third below our feet still.
At the same time we saw that the water was divided
by a sort of cataract island on whose other side
burst out a glorious stream — then the thunder
and the freshness. At the same time
the different falls have as different characters;
the first
darting down the slate rock like an arrow;
the second
spreading out like a fan;
the third
dashed into a mist — and the one on the other side
of the rock a sort of mixture of all these. We afterwards
moved away a space, and saw nearly the whole more mild, streaming
silverly through the trees. What astonishes me
more than anything
is the tone, the coloring, the slate, the stone, the moss, the rockweed;
or,
if I may so say, the intellect,
the countenance of such places.\'

Lyrical melody
MendedFences27 said:

I hear Sinatra singing \"Fly Me to The Moon,\" like in \"rivers of white smoke stretching to the moon,\" and \"a silver tongued throat.\" I think your fantastic journey of the \"sweet lyrical melody\" is a trip worth taking, poetically speaking. From the depths of \"the black hole of life\'s gravity\" to the heights of \"catching summer rays from the sun\'s bright gaze\" I was swept away \"in a whisper of a kiss.\"
loved your poem. - Phil A.

Nightmare dreams
MendedFences27 said:

Is she seeing her own evil reflected in the beastly image and rustling branches? I couldn\'t help myself from sensing an allegorical meaning to your poem. I loved the way you built the story from a gentle opening to a desperate ending. I felt that the action you described must have had some intent other than what was written.
Lines such as \"blood-red dress,\" \"black rose petal,\" and \"the crimson flame\" seemed to indicate that there was more to her than innocence. A lovely poem, a thrilling tale, and a deeper meaning, all the more to enjoy. - Phil A.

Black rose bleeds
L. B. Mek said:

I just have so much respect
for your artistry\'s
purposefully accessible, originality
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
stay Awesome!
\'The black rose bleeds its crimson essence
dripping on to its sterne leaf
to use as bewildering invincible ink
writing poetry about a black heart and ruby lips\'
(I hope
when i grow up
I\'ll learn to write
such brave poetry)
