I loved this write! What a unique way of putting together a poem, each stanza created by a different image! I love it!

'From the eye, color streaks
as imagination paints -
bronze toned beaches
beneath an ivory sky
as silver ripples whisper
Sabah al kheer !'
`Your imagery is breathtaking here, I don't even think I need to look at the picture youve created it for me here with your great descriptions and colors. Loved the line that ended this stanza; I'm guess its something they say in Egypt.. maybe good morning or something having to do with the sunrise :]

'Mesmerizing and tranquil
marble waters shimmer.
Orchid and red-violet
stream through the billows
to greet with a warm
Bonjour !'
`So beautiful how in different countries the sunrise always look different. This one different than the one in Egypt.. your words are absolutely gorgeous, I can imagine this sunrise just as well as the first one :]

'A dash of cerulean
pinch of carnelian
placed neatly in a bed of white.
Kneaded gently by the hands
that howl,
Good morning !'
`I dont know what colors cerulean or carnelian are but I bet they beautiful. Another great stanza full of imagery. I can see big white puffy clouds of white and the sun rising from behind them.

'Reflection -
and the magical kiss of
pink frost and icy shorelines.
Crisp mountain air speaks
breathe -inhale, exhale-
Rise and shine !'
`Indeed this sounds like Canada! Awesome job with your descriptions here.

'Eye colors may differ,
yet all see the same!
Color of skin,
nationality,
personality
all different.'
`You speak nothing but the truth here. Your words are so powerful with wisdom. We're all the same no matter what your nationality, personality is. They may be different, yet we are all the same.

'- Yet -
we all wake
beneath the same rising sun ...
Good morning World !
Sabah al kheer, Bonjour, Good morning, Rise and shine
Friends ...'
`A beautiful ending and a warm dedication to friends you have across the world.

I would have never came up with something like you have, so clever and one of my favorite poems Ive read from you. I adored it. Very original :]

Luanne,
What a very nice and different friendship poem you have woven here. I loved the different way of incorporating the "Good Mornings" in there and then even the description of the corners of the world. Wonderful job girl.
Take Care,

^My fave stanzas :)
Loved this write Lu <3
Thanks for the exclusive rights sweetie, I'm so proud of you!

Way to go~
Love you!

This is a poetic triumph, Luanne.

The tone of morning is a suitable one, the feeling of optimism, of a new day; a warm greeting. I feel the image of morning works well in this piece, and the various images you paint are well crafted. It exudes themes of friendship without being too spoon-feeding.

'bronze toned beaches
beneath an ivory sky
as silver ripples whisper'

If you take your three colours here; I don't think they blend as well as they could. Since they're imporant to establish this scene, I think that 'ivory' disagrees with the 'bronze', you also have 'bronze' and 'silver', I think it'd be a nice touch to have 'under a golden sun', so you get all three of those related colours.
Just an idea, hah.

I don't think this stanza, though:

'Eye colors may differ,
yet all see the same!
Color of skin,
nationality,
personality
all different.'

Serves a purpose, other than to spoon-feed. Just an opinion, but if you took it out, it wouldn't make a difference to the poem.

I shan't pick this apart, but it's another well written piece from you. Well done. :)

Its a beautiful write... the essence of all the places beautifully blended... so nice that you have friends from all over the world :)

//- Yet -
we all wake
beneath the same rising sun ... // this one has a very deep meaning... no matter to what country or race we belong to,... we are still one :)

lovely write :D

^From the eye, color streaks

Sabah al kheer !^

Vivid imagery. It is inspirational to imagine these far away places our cyber friends are from.

^Mesmerizing and tranquil
marble waters shimmer.
Orchid and red-violet
stream through the billows
to greet with a warm
Bonjour !^

Beautiful word choice and the incorporation of another language again. Very unique.

^A dash of cerulean

Good morning !^

Gorgeous imagery here. I love your choices from the list of colors.

^Reflection -
and the magical kiss of
pink frost and icy shorelines.
Crisp mountain air speaks
breathe -inhale, exhale-
Rise and shine !^

Again, it is nice to see at the end of the stanza a different greeting.

^From -

It is something the picture painting imagery of the mind.

^Eye colors may differ,
yet all see the same!
Color of skin,
nationality,
personality
all different.^

We all watch the same sun, moon and stars. I really like this stanza. It means to me that beauty is diverse. Just beautiful.

^- Yet -
we all wake
beneath the same rising sun ...
Good morning World !
Sabah al kheer, Bonjour, Good morning, Rise and shine
Friends ...^

What an excellent ending. Vivid imagery throughout the piece. You did the pictures justice!
It was well thought out, clever and unique. Great job!

Good Morning, Dear. Very clever concept. True brilliance. As I read each stanza, was "mesmerized" myself by the beautiful descriptions. Each capturing the reader with the imagery. Well done, dear friend.

Always,
Auntie Jeannie

So beautiful Luanne, the imagery was perfect!- Yet -
we all wake
beneath the same rising sun ...
Good morning World !
Sabah al kheer, Bonjour, Good morning, Rise and shine
Friends ...

This stanza was outstanding to me...we are all connected no matter what area of the world we live in! Brilliant!
