A Rose For My Heart Poem by Obinna Kenechukwu Eruchie

A Rose For My Heart

Rating: 4.5


A rose for my heart to rise with wings
To the heavens deep, where pleasure rings

With bliss as clouds—high silver beings.
The rose's romantic fragrance sings,

Dear as the tune the nightingale brings.
To my heart's delight, its singing swings.

How my heart to nirvana, it flings.
To the rose, with rapture my heart clings.

In my heart, liveliness outright springs,
Like the mountain, whose cheerful height slings

To the sky, where the star of day tings.
To my heart, how fay-like the feelings.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Commendable work, Obinna. The piece has moves mellifluously throughout. Imagework & metaphoric play ties together nicely...One suggestion, that you take a look at all your one stanza works...and consider employing couplet stanzaic structure to those that may enable the flow of the work to flow even better.Also, believe it or not...the aesthetics of a poem's structure comes into the Reader's mind & has a direct affect on how they read the poem versus how you wanted them to, whether they realise it or not.....Otherwise...Job Well Done.
