The ghost may not have said anything about your straight air but it sounds like you had a good talk anyway. I like the place you choose for this affair. This was a good piece of work.

You have some incredible images in this poem - rich, colourful images. You clearly have an intellect and a fanciful heart. What I missed in this poem was a sense of cohesion. I would encourage you to sit with this and make of it the masterpiece I think it could be!

The poem is surreal, seems disjointed, very descriptive, authors notes were excellent, and provided a feast of imaginative situations.

    It was my first Idyll Poem. I followed the directions. Maybe it's suppose to be surreal. Thank you.

I liked the end where the beam of light took the ghostly friend with out a care. It was easy to read flowed along nicely. You should title your work that I feel makes it yours totally,the picture accented your poem nicely

This has some really good descriptive lines,
but is more about Kahlil Gibran's
and unless one knows who the person
is, it is difficult to relate to.

perhaps you could mention his identity in your author notes.

Good luck with the contest,

Margaret

    Idyll Poems are about meeting an revived dead people (heroes) in a country scene. I chose Kahlil Gibran. He was a poet that changed lives with his words. And most poets always write about curly haired women. They're wild and fun. I must be the opposite, but I like him because of his poetry. So I chose him for my Idyll Poem.

    I've never heard of him. I must look him up on the web, as he sounds interesting. Thank you. M

    I see he is indeed famous. Fancy, I hadn't heard of him. You have me curious now... I must read some of his work. M

Hello Writer,
In your wonderful IDYLL poem you describe so many beautiful realistic scenes in an interesting rambling way... your poem seems to bounce from one place to another in the same way a dream does. Your descriptions well voiced and many of them are quite beautiful.
Best wishes to you in the contest. Warm regards, W ^-^

    I like the poetic style, but it's hard. The style is totally high maintenance. You're quite nice. Thank you. :)

"Strength" in the next to the last line is mispelled.
I think this interesting poem begins a bit too low. Perhaps it might begin with "In the distance,the leaves," and them move into the picnic with you. That picnic idea is really cool and I would like to see you expand on that part.

Your imagery was well done, but what was the poem about? Using the context clues, I gathered that it was about a girl who went on a picnic, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Try to be a little more clear next time.

    Idyll Poetry... is about interactions with people that have pasted, heroes per say, in a countryside setting. So in the poem, I met Kahlil Gibran. His spirit rose and we had lunch in a mellow meadow. The details are in the contest details.

    Thank you.
