Lillies (Etheree)

by Jenni   Aug 21, 2012


Winds
chiming
your petals;
susurrating
secrets or maybe
poetry among smiles.
Your visage dazzles senses,
arms embrace your mystic aura
while my mind wants to keep wandering.
Is this the start of something beautiful?

    Wow your words truly flow through me and flow off the page so very well. In this poem the vocabulary works so very well in the spots you used it. For example the word susurrating. It fit well where it is placed I feel because petal have that quiet aura about them. And if you think about it colours are quiet but they bring so much to life.

    I love how you describe this flower at its beginning stages as you said at the end it is the start of something more to come. I believe flowers at any pointare truly bbeautiful and probably jave many stories to tell. The word dazzles is great where it is used or in the poem as a whole because as I said flowers truly shine.

    This is a very beautiful poem indeed as it shows so much beauty in such a simple thing as a flower. You don't really see simple things as beautiful in this society. I love the title too because you portray what I assume is your favourite flower in the Lilly. Overall its so beautiful! 5

    This is a beautiful poem, very well written I agree with Maple Tree it sounds both like a poem about nature and a poem about love. Your poem surrounded me as I read it. I look forward to reading more of your work.

    Jenni,

    I love this poetry form so I absolutely couldn't resist leaving you a comment. Lillies are a flower that I just happen to adore, they're beautiful so I was also curious to see how you depicted them in your writing. They're symbolic of purity so I was wondering if this was linked to anything personal for you.

    I was actually really captured by this piece, the opening was powerful and the winds chiming your petals was stunning. I love natural poems but I really love short nature poems that pack so much imagery into them and you did that.

    Nice work with the alliteration is 'susurrating secrets', you almost miss it because of the line breaks.

    Wonderful short poem! Congrats on winning!
