A Field Of Ash In The Dark Poem by James Timothy Jarrett

A lace-wrapped wraith- dark unsettled sleep. These slow phrases read so so well Jim. You must be satisfied, even with you first rate command of imagery, with this beautifully appealing piece. Kind thoughts always - from Fay. 10+ + +

I like this a lot. It's short, but doesn't need anything else added.

After a second read and with the knowledge that the she is your daughter, I can see a totally different perspective on this taunting and haunting dream poem. We do subconciously worry for our children, it is entirely natural and your anguish is palpable here James. The field of Ash, is perhaps symbolic in the darkness? ! A good read, thanks for sharing. I do love the title, although ash is painful metaphor in my life. All the best, Tai

wow.......this is beautiful......perfect

An unsettling poem, a haunting one, and, as most dreams are at times, frightening as well. One like this leaves one with a disturbed feeling all the next day. Beautifully crafted to show that feeling.

Beautifully seductive dream. All best wishes to you.

My second in the reading of your poetry... your two for two. Nice one...

On second read, the color and feel have changed to slightly dark and forboding. As this is your daughter, hopefully, just a random dream and nothing more. Still, wonderful use of imagery and mystery.

And a beautiful dream it is! Wonderfully descriptive imagery here, Jim - almost magical. 'A lace wrapped wrath with golden hair' - I love this line, especially. Nice one! Linda :)

The title is intriguing. Beautiful descriptive images. Has a pleasant, wistful tone. A good poem.
