Eye spy (Image contest)

Absolutely agree with Meena's comment about the effectiveness of the stanza's. This is such a well written piece - the brilliant use of alliteration in the fist stanza captivated me from then on. Superb as usual, and a very deserved win, Michael.
Take care

"...Stillness

Coloured coral concealing, not revealing...yet
Patience endures...un-blinking...barely beating."
`I love the way that this poem is layed out, the style is unique and interesting to say the least.. its something new.
`What a flawless picture to write a poem off of.
`Anyways, your first stanza here was amazing, your words are flawless and everything is well penned. I have no words, its just amazing how your mind works from a simple image.

"...hush

Buoyant, silent storm, mentally pacing...bracing.
Preened evolution, honed to the muscular bone."
`Oh wow. This is almost like a suspenseful poem! Now a storm is coming? Your words here are just mindblowing, like wow.. I'm impressed at the vocabularly.

"...slowly

...ever so carefully, moving, approving
what the eye becomes alive for, survives for.."
`I love how the word "slowly" portrays to the stanzas so perfectly.. also with the words above and theirs tanzas.. Its amazing how you can take a image and write something like this.. I love how this is suspenseful, makes me wnat to know what will happen next for sure.. got me on the edge of my seat!

"...not long now

the suspense of imminent death on baited breath
threatens to stain waters too clear for fear, perhaps?"
`I dont know what it is about your writing but it so unique.. there was something that really stood out to me.. "to stain waters too clear for fear, perhaps?" - just wow, youve left me speechless.. I cant believe you came up with something so clever. I'm amazed.

"...Suspense

...a spectator, a prying rubber aviator.
Shadows akin with quest, investing, no resting"
`Ahh perfect, I can see this from the image, the spectator would be the scuba diver or whatever he is? Am I correct? I'm terrible at interpreting poetry. :/

"Attack!!!

In a cloud of calculation, blood and crustaceans
...nature tears its jagged grin of vice like pearly sin.."
`.. and the suspense is finally over. Your words are so complex and interesting that I think I got lost in them.. the meaning of the poem is probably far from what I'm interpreting.. but nonetheless, a interesting piece.. your imagination is just ... there really isnt a word for it.. but its unlike anyone's imagination I've ever seen.

".....hush

Waters calm the reef like a medicinal balm,
Soothing the fight of natures bite."
`Ohhh.. nature attacked? Okay, wow. This piece was above and beyond my interpretation or comprehension, whatever you wanna call it.. but the way everything was worded was so amazing and how used an image and brought it to life with your own originality was very impressive to say the least.

I love how the word "stillness" and "hush" repeated.. amazingly done.

Well done.
Unique write full of orignality.
Definatly deserved to win & I'm glad to see it did.

5/5.

Wow!!! I dunno what to say, it's beautiful... one of those poems which you get an unknown odd, yet tingly feeling from. Great work!!!

I like the way you have broken up the stanzas, as it allows the reader to absorb your words as well as the picture you've drawn with your words. Very well done and congrats..take care.
