Rara Avis

by EssenceOfLace   May 1, 2008


Charred thoughts of those moments arise,
trigger nerves;
shivering, trembling.

A phobic feeling crosses the mind,
left in trance;
amorous, stunned.

Filled with joy beyond comparison,
hearts of gold;
fulsome, frisson.

Hobson's Choice is the finale,
one gladly performed;
love, delight.

Oh, what a wonderful feeling.

    I love this first stanza because It's relatable and pulls the reader in, intriguing them to see where this will go off to.

    A phobic feeling crosses the mind,
    left in trance;
    amorous, stunned.

    An excellent choice of words which made this flow very well, a very unique structure I have never seen before.

    Loved the emotion that was set behind this stanza followed up by another extraordinary choice of vocabulary complimented by a nice comparrison

    Thanks for the definition of "hobson's choice" was refreshing to see a phrase I had not know before, But it seemed to lack a certain something that the other stanza's had, just kinda didn't fit the mood.

    Oh, what a wonderful feeling.

    A very simple but perfect ending to this poem though Kept to the flow and inflicted a lasting impression.

    Overall I loved the structure of this poem, it was very unique. It had a great flow and was saturated with emotion. I enjoyed the fact that you didn't try to rhyme every word, It gets old every once in awile. A very refreshing add to the love section. 5/5 great write keep it up.

    Oh, my! What a unique style to this piece. You said so much with so little. The third staza almost broke the flow, but it still worked. Good work for someone so young!
