Comment from Sarah B Sullivan

Excellent

This has a rocking motion to it, which, as you say in your poet's comments, helps orchestrate the music of language. I found this poem to be exactly as you say, a sensual experience, and it stands tall, somewhat like a sunflower. The content is primarily descriptive without action, but the stanzas weave themselves within each other to create a strength.
Thank you for writing this, and for your poet's comments, which I don't always read.

I read this a few days ago but hadn't the time to review it. I must say that it left quite an impression and I am glad to return and re-read it now. Apart from the evocative imagery, there is a powerful accretion of repeated ideas from different angles. A feel almost like that inspired by van Gogh's famous painting, though your interpretation of the flower is much gentler.

Well, I don't understand 'minimalism' but I know I like this. It just flows. I'm reminded of a beautiful stream of flowers, gently drifting. Lovely.
Blessings...

Thanks for the excellent review and your support of this poem. Minimalism is a musical concept using repetitions to create patterns in language, rather than relying on regular rhythm and rhyme schemes. Glad you enjoyed it. estory

Thanks for explaining!

A very well-written minimal free verse poem. The subject of the sunflower is great and can have many different features we can describe in different ways to bring the picture to the reader.

I wish I could write free verse like this! One's soul must be free and brave to express poetry without the net of a structured poetic form.
I so admire this poem!

Thanks so much for the excellent review and your inspiring comments. I have been writing poetry for about 40 years, so time, patience, and practice, all come together to make this poetry. Many many rewrites. my poetry kind of evolves like a sculpture gradually emerging from the clay estory

Thanks for saying that. I know, from poet friends, that free verse requires a discipline all its' own....

Really nice flowery poem! It makes me want to lay in a field of wildflowers. I love the last 2nd to last stanza, "Music feathered out, Like hands on the silk, Of skin" this is such a beautiful description! Great job!
