Helvi, what a superb piece - and kudos to you for the digital art that inspired it! (It's great fun to do poems inspired by one's own art, isn't it?)

I love the images in this, the rainbows and dragons and the sheer vibrancy of life. It makes me think of matter far outside our physical realm - I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that other dimensions do indeed have such wonderful things!

The wording is spot on, there are no errors or anything to suggest, except perhaps a more contrasting font - on my screen it does tend to blend a bit with the background.

Cheers,
LL :)

What an original and very visual poem of rainbows in outer space ! I love the perfect style and your talented imagination . Simply delightful !

There is a place past starlit nights
Where hues flow into streams
Within the realms of distant space
A solar rainbow gleams

    Hi Laura,
    I thought that somewhere in Outer Space there must be something that resembles a rainbow, so I tried to think what it would be like. I'm so glad you liked the vision I created. Thank you for the great review.

    Bless You,

    Hi 2Flower,
    WOW! You reviewed this with blinders. You were'nt aware of the poet's identity. Knowing you liked the poem without being aware of the writer makes this review very special. Thank you for the lovely review.
    Bless You,

    I often PREFER blinders. That way the work stands or falls on its own without the prejudice of knowing who the author is. It should not make any difference what-so-ever. Good is good and bad is bad. As poets, we all are capable of writing both.

    I agree! That is why your review means so much.

    Thank You

Loved it. As a fan of astrophysics, you conjured up images of nebula and exploding star systems, which I did enjoy. The image is nice too. Thanks for sharing your poem.

This is beautiful, with the colors, lights and splendid inflorescence very visual to the reader. The vocabulary is beguiling, also.

I have only one suggestion:

Your meter and cadence seem perfect to me except in the next to the last line:

There is a place past starlit nights
Where hues flow into streams
**In the realms of distant space
A solar rainbow gleams
**
Perhaps change 'In' to 'Within'?

Your artwork is very colorful, also, and made me remember my mother bundling us kids up to go out and see the Northern Lights.

Thank you!

Doris

    Hi Doris,
    I've seen the Northen Lights several times, but only once in color.I thought they were beautiful and was fasinated by there awesome display. I wanted this poem to reflect what I saw and create a rainbow that actually flared. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for the fantastic review,

What a beautiful poem!

I absolutely loved it. Especially the last two stanzas:

?And then the opalescent flares
Ignite with their reply
To decorate and recreate
Incinerated sky

There is a place past starlit nights
Where hues flow into streams
In the realms of distant space
A solar rainbow gleams

Excellent!
