The promise of a new year

by silvershoes   Oct 12, 2010


There is something to
that look in her eye
that sings of
January morning;
the twinkle that sits
at the edge of her honey dew
lip
as it slips
into a capsule of
gumdrops
of purples and greens,
grapes and mints

There is something to that look
(and the new sun has her in it)

    The poem is fresh Jane. Poetic, inspiring and enjoyable. I love the atmosphere u made up by the words choice .

    for one moment..I had a very strong relation between the colors u chose and this line "grapes and mints"...purple grapes...green mint..then how just refreshing that image is..and the smell that got revived through my sense while I read.

    More someone so natural and pure..with all this beauty , regarding the word choice.. and more like someone wise..due to the sun found in her..which made me think about nothing but light that reflects wisdom.

    I am no sure, how far I went..but this was thoughtful..

    Much imagery with creativity flowed in this poem and put a unique twist to your poem. This was a great poem which cut straight to the point and gave the reader and great visual of the entire setting in which you painted this piece. The only thing I didn't like about this poem was the fact that it was so short. I would have really liked it if this had been longer as it would have added to the beautiful imagery you have already penned in this piece. Anyway this was a truly amazing poem. Great job and keep writing.

    I liked the length of your poem, it definitely makes the reader ponder after reading, because you kind of leave it open for thought. My questions have already been taken, so I will not repeat them. You've got quite the imagination.

    Your writing just keeps on improving and I like it. I like 'sings of January morning'. Not sure about 'capsule'. I like the repetition. Not sure about ending it there in parenthesis, though it does have something. Simple and sly and really very nice.
