    Your style of writing is vaguely familiar and I wonder if you are a returning member?

    I've noticed, from reading your previous poems that you seem to have a relationship with flowers...or at least you use them as metaphors and I find that very appealing.

    This poem is very intriguing from start to finish...and I really enjoyed it throughout. Just one question and...maybe I'm just reading your first stanza wrongly...

    The horizon
    painted loneliness
    in my eyes-
    dew drops,
    wilted flowers,
    and the scent
    of placidity.

    I love your first three lines here...they are quite brilliant and make the reader want to continue on. My question is relating to the other lines here...

    wilted flowers,
    and the scent
    of placidity.

    There just seems to me that there should be another line to end this stanza or maybe the comma is in the wrong place I'm really not sure....probably just me..anyway..still most worthy of a 5/5
