This is truly magical and lyrical, my friend. Warmest welcome back to FS> I missed your work--the musicality, the originality, the beauty of it. This is very beautiful and sounds super read aloud. I love the fluid flow and well woven repetition device as well. Favorite parts:

Colors of lavender,
Lavender light
Lifting and escaping

Lavender light
Cut out of paper,
Cut out of trees

AND

Air unfolding into light
Light unfolding into dreams

Blowing away in the wind



Wish I had a six.

Warmly, rd

    Thanks for your awesome review and your encouraging remarks. I am usually striving for new forms, using repeating patterns of sound to create music, instead of rhyme schemes and iambic pentameter, although I do have some in those forms. I prefer free verse. So much on this site is kind of tried and proven, I like to go off the beaten track into new places and hang out with people who want to be there as well. estory

The objective correlative of the poem is a relay race of colours, light, clouds, skies, landscape, air and dreams.

The work highlights the relay-race of the aforementioned elements and the resultant sensations they create.

Excellent work! Bravo!

Welcome back estory. I like what you've done with this and you are right as we read it, the descending poem as each line melds with the next it is like floating on the lavender breeze. Nicely done, very creative,
cheers.

A sense of floating time in a world where nothing is real and tangible, where life is short and we are but paper blowing in the wind, very atmospheric, love Dolly x

Until I saw your author notes I thought it was about the blossoms of spring unfolding and developing and eventually blowing away on the fall. I found it to be an enjoyable read.

A well-written poem. Your well-chosen words flowed well line to line combining easily and forming the message of the poem for the reader. The poem leaves a flowing image in the mind of the reader.

Oh wow. SO pretty! I would give this a six if I had any!!! I love the way it does seem to blend, like a watercolor, one line into the next. Just luminous! Blessings...

    Thanks for your five star review and your encouraging comments. I am glad that you enjoyed it and found it so well done. it was written and rewritten many times. I am just never happy with these things; a perfectionist I guess estory

    I do the same...change a word here and there, keep going back. But it certainly does help. This is a fabulous poem!
