Weald.

by ghosts in bloom   Aug 14, 2009


They are slanted.
Enchanted.
Painting a parody
With mint rhymes.
They dance with time
Untraceable and irate.
A mellifluous two step
In race against skies
And roads with no name.
Time holds their fee,
Oppositely.
Grow against grain and soil,
Purple rooted veins to route:
Horizontal homes,
Cornered in shade.

Branch to branch
They create
A security to satiate.
They started together,
In heart; now apart
straying away from
directional fear.
They are the ones
That keep me here.
Stayed and frayed with
The seasons' rainbow
That paints their
Emotive filth
And sketches their
Ability to steer.

    I like the first part quite a bit with the few erratic rhymes creating a nice lyrical flow.

    The second part falls flat though. 'in heart, now apart' sounds really really clumsy. And there's a feeling of incompleteness after reading the poem.

    Wow Novalyn, that was breath taking. While reading it, I saw pure beauty being emitted via your excellent use of lexis. I have chills and I shed tears while reading this piece by you, just fantastically written in all aspects. You have a lot of talent my dear, keep up the great work. I am nominating this for sure.

    Peace, Joe
