If Coverless You Wouldn't See

by Melpomene   Apr 24, 2008


Whisking soft scents upon horizon,
Orange holds eyes within its glow,
Summers breeze caresses thine heart,
For she's mesmerized by such beauty;
Falling in lust with stunning cover,
Not tattered spine of hollowed book.

Autumn leaves dance upon night fall,
Whilst butterfly's prance within heart,
Winter holds beauty unlike any other,
As snow flakes glide gently to ground,
For I fell in love with tattered spine,
Not the hollow front cover of his book.

    Your style of writing is very refreshing and always brightens me up when I read your work....Here are my thoughts on your piece:

    "Whisking soft scents upon horizon,
    Orange holds eyes within its glow,
    Summers breeze caresses thine heart,
    For she's mesmerized by such beauty;
    Falling in lust with stunning cover,
    Not tattered spine of hollowed book."

    Beautiful imagery that captures my mind and soul and brings me into this poem. I love how you say that the breeze of summer caresses thine heart, what beauty and meaning behind those words. Excellent excellent excellent!

    "Autumn leaves dance upon night fall,
    Whilst butterfly's prance within heart,
    Winter holds beauty unlike any other,
    As snow flakes glide gently to ground,
    For I fell in love with tattered spine,
    Not the hollow front cover of his book."

    First four lines: Very uniquely written, I am very moved by this piece and how you just don't say "snowflakes fell", but your word choice really blew me away! 5/5 from me, a very well deserved win too!

    Wow the title just captured my attention and lured me in to read this beautiful love poem. Flawless. There is no other word to describe it. It possessed everything a love poem should...emotion, imagery, diction. nice choice of words, etc. I'm just blown away...

    1st stana...
    Your choice of words here were just mind blowing. It captured me from my reality and took me to another world where anything is possible. I loved the difference between this stanza and the second one. It was so subtle but amazingly written. She fell in lust with his looks but you fell in love with that is one the inside. Right? Well that is how I interpreted.

    2nd Stanza...
    This has to be my fave stanza. It was filled with a beautiful description of imagery flawlessly painted in my mind. The last two lines were a perfect way to end this amazing piece.

    I loved the subtle meaning behind this piece and after reading it the title made more sense. What I took from this poem is that people look at appearances to determine who they like but you look inside and accept them for who they are. Maybe I understood this wrong but I enjoyed reading it nonetheless. I could tell you put such thought and effort into this resulting in a perfect poem.

    Amazing poem you have here that I cannot stop reading. Well done *5/5*

    Ah, very captivating. Unlike most love poems I've read in a long time. This is my first viewing of you work, and I am truely amazed.

    Stanza one:
    "Whisking soft scents upon horizon,
    Orange holds eyes within its glow,
    Summers breeze caresses thine heart,
    For she's mesmerized by such beauty;
    Falling in lust with stunning cover,
    Not tattered spine of hollowed book."

    ^^As a suggestion for the first line, I think it would sound better with "the" in it.
    "Whisking soft scents upon the horizon"
    Don't get me wrong, it does sound good without it, but in my honest opinion it sounds better with it.
    Vivid imagery was used in this. It was a comforting, and soothing stanza to read.
    I also liked "falling in lust". Lust seems to be a much different form of love, maybe even stronger, so I liked how you used that instead of just "love".

    Stanza two:
    "Autumn leaves dance upon night fall,
    Whilst butterfly's prance within heart,
    Winter holds beauty unlike any other,
    As snow flakes glide gently to ground,
    For I fell in love with tattered spine,
    Not the hollow front cover of his book. "

    ^^I loved how you put a nature thing to this. It creates a much more sensual image in the mind. It was refreshing reading the description of Winters beauty. The last two lines, I thought were very creative. An answer to the end of the first stanza, breathtaking.

    Compared to what I've read lately, this was a superb poem. It was a pleasure to read it.

    Take care and keep writing.
    5/5
