Interesting and unique. Full of imagery and emotion right down to the powerful and beautiful end. A great stark presentation that added to the words, instead of distracting with too much.

Excellent visuals in the opening stanza, Mav. I have seen this happen when clouds form and the sun seeps through onto the water. Eye to the horizon is fantastic foreshadowing of a future, not exactly a sunset but motion to another place because we do know the sun never stops shining.

I love the colour choices too as it symbolizes not only growth but also the stem of a rose. Very tasteful.

a beautiful statement of the power of forests. They most definitely are confident as they reach for the sky.

Excellent use of personification to evoke intimacy. And I absolutely love the rose growing right of the ocean! That is rare and would be something to see.

Exceptional tone, movement and voicing.

This is a fantastic free verse. Best of luck to you in the contest.

Hi Mikey,

My perceptions might be way off on this one lol I feel like this is the Earth going into a cycle of renewal. I get that with the urgency (to save the planet) being ignored. Eventually it will get to a state where the world must be reborn. The mountains erupting, lava (hot) rivers underground, new life (the flower) from the ocean, and the last man swept away on the current. Her name is Mother Earth.

Ok, now is the part where you tell me I got it all wrong! lol But, that's where my brain went with it. :) Your free verse has wonderful flow and excellent use of assonance and consonance.

Good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed reading your contest entry. Just a note for us old fogies. This shade of green on the black made it different for me to read, the green smeared in my view. I am probably the only person it effected.

An entrancingly beautiful piece of free verse on a romantic theme, that requires silent secrecy. I stumbled over this strangely placed comma however.

"...display of enticing mystery so, soft softness..." The comma after 'so' seems misplaced. "...mystery, so soft that..." feels more appropriate unless I have missed something here. What worries me is that apart from apostrophes this is the only punctuation mark in the whole poem, and it seems odd that you would misplace it.
