Abundant Sky

by debbylyn   Jan 18, 2007


Iridescent heavenly array
On bounteous azure decolletage
As lover's fixed gaze yields
Dreams in cumulus mirage

Mariner's hue forecasts dusk to dawn
Red, divining delight or warning
Quicksilver kaleidescope rainbow
Portends promise, new day's morning

Two-faced orb breaks twilight
Released as tidal turmoil sways
Reverent ancient's homage dealt
Eclipsed in full lustrous phase

Telescoped in Galileo's light
Multiples too many to behold
Astrologers seek to map
Alignments as futures foretold

Abundant sky cradling life
By light of dawn's eastern rise
Dangling heart's precipitous reign
As shadows lengthen day's demise

    Hey winner....so I want to expand upon the comments I made on the boards...as I felt they were spot on regarding your piece.

    [I felt this was a multi layered piece, which had a duel message running through it of the complexities of relationships communicated through the medium of the sky and weather types. Just beautiful]

    What i meant when I said this of you winning poem is that it was obvious to me that you had some pretty powerful emotions or memories fueling this piece, but you didn't just let them spill onto the page blankly....it seemed to me to held onto them and worked them all through a beautiful metaphor, which was immensely visual in nature and actually added more understanding of what you were feeling by doing this.

    Every line hold more insight, plus the knowledge of the simple feelings that inspired the metaphors.....put simply...this is a wonderful expression of emotions...

    I take my proverbial hat off to you...as soon as i saw this poem I know it would be a winner....

    regards, Kevin.

    I could mumble here about vocabulary and imagery, but what I really have to say is.....How esoteric and simultaneously how accessible!..Bravo!....
