That is a very gentle and lyrical poem! One can almost sense the poet's words softly captivating the listener. The poet's role is to capture the mind and thinking of the reader for just a little while. It is a lovely image too.

Comment from Gloria ....
Ah this poet sounds like an enchantress. Bewitching those who listen to her words beneath the pines and magnolias.
A most charming poem, Melissa brimming with carefully chosen words.
Many thanks for sharing. :))

Thank you Gloria. The wording was intentional to draw the reader into peaceful repose. I have had some fun reviews using words like, comatose, hibernation, falling to sleep as they read... LOL. So fun... the power of words.

Your poem is like balm for poets looking for inspiration in some corner of our immense planet made of art. Artwork you have chosen is something that also feeds our souls with that motley of shadows and lights. Word comparison with violins is paramount. Thank you for putting words to so many sensations

Your poem made me reflect upon the way that I get some of my best ideas. I do my best reflecting just before I go to sleep at night, when my mind has calmed.

Hi Melissa.
This is a very nicely done. Your rhyme scheme is perfect and you kept the fixed meter throughout the poem. The message rings true for the poet. The poet says things "differently."

Comment from Aussie
I loved the old-fashioned artwork by Winslow Homer. You picked the right painting to compliment your rhyming quatrains. I could feel the breeze rocking the hammock under the trees as the sleepy poet reclined in reverie. Well done friend. K XX

I could easily see myself being soothed into a peaceful state where sleep would enter as a welcome friend. In a state such as the one described, a soothing poem might very well put me into a near comatose state.

You made me grin with that word... comatose... I will tell you a secret... I drug my words to cause people to fall asleep... no, really.. I do. LOL. Thank you so much for the great comments!!

Comment from judiverse
Excellent rhyme in this. I like the uncluttered AABB pattern. That's a tall order for a poet to create poems that soothe and bring peace. Great line with "words resemble violins." As you indicate, it's good for a poet to have a place that's conducive to relaxation and inspiration. judi
