Tempest Comments

Rating: 5.0

A petal falls and comes to float
Upon a lake of placid still.
Like gentle sway of empty boat,

This poem is an absolute beauty! One of the best that I've read here. Fleeting moments, described with poetic adornments. Clear and vivid imaginations at its peak, portrayed so nicely! A priceless, poetic imagery! I couldn't have imagined a more picturesque description! Your 6th stanza reminds me of Wordsworth's 'Daffodils', which I quote: 'Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.'...and 'Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.' The poem portrays an amazing, eye soothing imagery that only a true, original poet can draw! 'Two bodies, one head resting soft upon a breast, That warmth surrounds and affectionately caress, The steady beating of wanting heart in chest.' - Absolutely stunning! 'As upon whispered breaths our love avowed.' - Wow! I can hear the whisper, I can feel the heat! 'With each trembling touch our worlds collide.' The best line ever! Superb and scintillating! I can see the tempest gathering, in an otherwise placid scenario, from here on! 'My heart, my gift for you to seize, At least forever, evermore.' -So soothing! Thank you! I've rated the poem 10/10 for the exquisite imagery, that is simply wonderful! . Looking forward to reading many more like this. Best wishes.............
