Wow! What Beauty from a new born inspiration.

Welcome back!

Wow wow wow:)
What a poem, u made me speechless:)

Eyes scratched like wooden floors... Oh I love that. We so often are scorned by the past, by people walking all over us.

This is just downright beautiful and inspiring in itself. A transformation of not only a poet, but a woman.

I really adore the repetition, I thought it fit well here and added a soft emphasis that just worked. Beautifully written girl!

Yaki,
I adore all the metaphors used in this poem. Quite a creative image was place upon my own wooden floors and they were polished too from a powerful read. Keep Dancing love, I'll keep reading.

Yaki, I missed your poems, Nice to have you back :)

This piece was really beautiful, inspiring, had lovely words and metaphors.

The reptition was subtle but worked well and the flow was smooth throughout

lovely piece

Oh my my my.....this is the best analogy I've ever read in my whole life. No joke...I had no idea where you were going with the wooden floors and I absolutely loved what you did with it!!...this was incredible. I don't know how to keep expressing my love for this but I will just leave it at, this was perfect and I'm adding to my faves!

I was looking into my hand pocket mirror, I was trying to put on eye liner and my eyes got teary (suck using make up)
and then I paid close attention to my iris..and it was really brown and like, I don't know ,,,It looked like the same pattern of a wooden floor to me, and that sparked this poem..

I do love inspiration. What is really unique about this poem, is the author is inspired by the mere look of her eye, she then creates this enchanting piece, that allowed me to visualize her dazzling eyes, dancing within a meadow of dandelions. How beautiful is this poem?!?!?! I was swept away by her imagination, and very pretty ways of expression. This poem to me goes even deeper than her eyes. At first I felt as if she only saw gloom, eager for spring and wishing for it, and the sun starts to shine and she is describing her eyes as a dull wooden floor, full of pain and sadness, and as I continued reading ( and I read this several times, because I really was hypnotized by this piece) it continues on, describing the tears ( in a very elegant way I might add) as a symbol. So at first I felt such sadness, but then she twists me in another direction, full of optimism;

"I discovered that
wooden floors
were made to be danced on..
and that tears
were there to polish them.."

Love the positive form of expression within this stanza! At this point I'm saying out loud, "You go girl"
And then the poem starts to dance within a beautiful field of dandelions. Even though she did not see a dandelion, she saw so much more through her beautiful eyes and brilliant imagination. Outstanding poem- Well done Yaki (10)
