Hello Zinnia48
You don't need any suggestions from me. I totally agre when you said-

spinning me into slumber
where dreams embrace me

Dark lulls me deeper into sleep

I admired your alliteration of "d's, s's and n's" that add intensity to your description. Your "Oragami" metaphor with "Each crease" is very visual and the artwork you selected helped to establish the mood of your free verse. Cheers- Joan

WOW!

This poem is the epitome of flawlessness!!

LOVE the personification:

"Dusk cradles me
I drift toward Night
folding into itself"-- so peaceful and beautiful

"Nocturnal nest holds us" -- Love the alliteration too!

Definitely exceptional!!

Hugs

Amanda

This is simply outstanding. There is a delicate ease and perfect balance of depicted imagery and rhetoric. The flow is paced with a cadence that makes for an easy read. The dark sacred NIGHT has often been the source of great creativity and this excellent poetry can be added to that list. Well done.

Till the last amen

This poem put my in a trance. There was very strong imagery throughout the piece. There was also personification which flowed smoothly. At first it was confusing what you were talking about but when i read it in depth i understood. Overall it was refreshing and very different. A unique piece in deed. I loved reading it!

I like your choice of poetic phrases and imagery to achieve this fine poem. Your personification muse give this poem a natural beauty with such words as furrows, spinning, sprouting. I like the metaphors employed too.

I read this twice as I marveled in the way you used the action of origami and the elements with words such as '' crease''

''Each crease sealing in daylight''
Very good.
This is very well written indeed...better than first meets the eye. A very clever piece of writing.
My sixes are limited so you'll just miss out but I am rather impressed at this little write.
Well done,
RGstar

Hi there, Zinnis48

Not being a poet, I can't offer suggestion nor feedback, but I can say this has a peaceful/urethral feel about it. I love the use of alliteration and the presentation is stunning.

Marion.
