Impressive, impressive, impressive! You have painted for me in poetic art. I am awestrucked by your enriched words and unique phrasing. If there were a single line of cliche in this poem, I did not noticed. for the word weaving was just superb!

I see another Poem of the Month nomination for this one!

VisionaryPoet777:

This is certainly a masterpiece in visual words
the presentation is absolutely stunning; the
words take the reader on a trip with the writer
to a place which sounds beyond compare

thanks for sharing

FanStory's own Miriam in the form of a Jewell. I love your inspirational writing to motivate others. Oh for the time and resources, but for that we must wait on the Lord.

Nice try girl to wake up the forces that herein dwell. I'd love to see it happen but believe it will not. A well written piece of poetry that beckons all to tear it apart and start again.

What a beautiful, glorious poem--rich in imagery an delightful to read. LOVE the artwork and presentation as well. SO many fine and memorable phrases. Yet, still, i have some suggestions:

Revieing notes:


Color my world in imagery
beyond knowledge,
infiltrate my spirit in truth.

What a wonderfully energetic opening--drew me right in.

*Love the phrasing in second stanza in terms of meaning and word choice but the structure is slightly awkward--in terms of spag and flow:

Synergy guides our friendship(: or --)
I wait to drink of your fountain, overflowing

Sounds slightly odd to me-to my ear, it would sounds better to avoid reverse syntax and say: overflowing fountain

If you like it this way, it is fine to keep but then i suggest a comma after overflowing.

and tap into your Divine energy. --nice line.

Take me to a concert of the spirit's song
where all voices sing
in the corners of four winds(,)
and nature harmonizes along.

I LOVE that stanza. Note one spag suggestion. That sounds super read aloud. Wonderful flow.

I have seen your heart
in the brightest crimson rose,
I felt your pain at the prick of its thorns.
I stood in the midst of an angry crowd
as I sensed your misunderstandings.


Love the content, tone, assonance and consonance, etc. The nit with this stanza is too many I's. Suggest a trim of pronouns:

I have seen your heart
in the brightest crimson rose,
felt your pain at the prick of its thorns.
I stood in the midst of an angry crowd
and sensed your misunderstandings.

Not sure how smoothly that tense shift works...when all the surrounding stanzas are in present tense.

Paint the sunset with your eloquent pen,
Meet my heart in dawn's afterglow,
or rise with me to wait for inspiration
in the cozy seat of the crescent moon
or beneath a glowing sunrise,
where ribbons of red and gold speak
in layers at a time.

this is exquisitely descriptive...yummy delicious imagery, phrasing and word choice.

Dare me to vacation in your private cove
where your dreams take the world
to imagination's fair,
or reminisce life's lessons,free of regret
looking back in retrospective delight.

Lovel. LOE the line imagination's fair. I think there is a space missing before FREE in second to last line. Nice assonance of E, consonance of V and S, alliteration of L

Will you hand me the key
to open your heart's door?
Will I see love composing your song?
I can only wonder if my heart's melody
has already played along~

Lovely stanza with smooth flow and fine phrasing. Not sure about the ~ symbol in place of a period, though.

Challenge my mind to travel a journey
where you embrace your own truth,(;)
Convince me to believe your inspirations.
When you believe, I can too.

Love the closing line of this stanza. nice thoughts...well voiced. Note one spag suggestion.

I will honor you in your world
if you take me home in words.

What a stupendous closing line! A stroke of genius--really makes a memorable impact.

This poem has so much richness and is a pleasure to read, though it does have room for fine tuning still...

Love and light,
rd

    It is my voice, so I'll definitely fix punctuation issues but doubt I will rewrite my poem for one critique.
    Note to reviewer:
    So glad I didn't have you as a creative writing teacher!
    You're TOUGH! LOL

    Love you, anyway!
reply by rama devi on 28-Jan-2012
    I love you too

    However, I will probably refrain from reviewing your poems in future (though i will continue to read them)...because my intent is never to 'dictate that you have to rewrite the poem' and it shocks me that you would think so, having known me all these years GOSH!

    the rating, if that's what irks you--is because of spag and as you know, i always upgrade when its fixed.

    I do not EVER rate a poem down because of stylistic choices (like reverse syntax) unless they handicap the ability for readers to understand the work...but I do take time to mention the bumps that occur to me, in case the poet wants to know how people honestly respond to each line. This is a service and not a dictatorship...offered with humility and love.

Too many well chosen phrases to mention. The imagery is vivid but what make this poem memorable for me is the strong use of the verbs that begin the lines i.e.: paint and dare.
My favorite line :
where ribbons of red and gold speak
in layers at a time.
Great personification. This poem lives and breathes commitment to the written word.

I like the content and the idea;instead of addressing fellow writers with criticism, you offer inspiration and a challenge. Kudos to that!

The use of language here is flowing, romantic and positive.

Beautiful imagery, particularly the forth stanza which is full of light and color.

Thanks for this! ;)
