A beautiful read,
"The Universe
became my skin
and the flower moon
was my heart
beating in the dark" it is as though we are lost yet so very comfortable on our own, very well written and presented****kahpot

Hi MariVal,
this poem is so very beautiful. It holds a dream like state to me as it allows me to float within the thought of every verse.

All I can say is how you are hitting your intended marks in creating such beauty with solid, construction, composition, presentation and connection. Every poem I read seems to soar that little higher.

The quality of anything written is within the connection it reveals to its reader... this poem did that, and then some!

You MariVal, are a very switched on wordsmith. Your power: the ability to allow your reader and fans to join you on every journey through the power of an authentic passion, written in such a magic way.

Absolutely stunning!

Warmest regards,
James.

Gypsy, this is a very beautiful Yamato Uta Poem you have penned. You used great descriptive words and truly amazing imagery from the artwork you chose. I hope to one day be able to write some of these formats. love and blessings, Teri.

Another fine poem, Gypsy....and the kind of poem I wish I could write, reality with an artistic bent, dreamlike. My style is Dragnet style, just the facts, ma'am

In a novel that I'm writing I have my heroine often search the sky for inspiration. She's an unwed pregnant romance writer. This poem fits her perfectly. Her name is Rebeka. Thank you for reading my mind.

This seemed to mimick life. The smooth almost dreamy quality when things are going good. Then out of nowhere that crack of thunder and flash of lightning. Things suddenly frightening. But there on the horizon light winks at us. All will be well again. Beautifully done. Gretchen

Love this Yamato Uta poem. It's very romantic. I like that you use a moon as your heart and thunder like a song with electrifying notes. So creative.

Well done.

I didn't know that Pisces was the largest constellation! I mostly look for Orion as that's the easiest one for me to identify. Loved your ebullient poem about the beautiful spring night sky!
