Morning (Nove Otto)

by Sylvia   Mar 12, 2009


Petals kissed by dew, glistening,
little creatures are listening,
waiting for today to commence.
Sunshine spreading warmth everywhere.
Flowers budding, blooming with flare.
As morning unfolds with suspense,
wonder fills my heart with delight,
and I know the world is alright.
Nature's beauty is so immense.

    "Petals kissed by dew, glistening,"
    `Youve painted a very vivid image with such few words.. and isnt this ever gorgeous. I love how youve worded this, your word choice is flawless.. especically kissed, thats just absolutely breath-taking and gorgeously penned.

    "Sunshine spreading warmth everywhere.
    Flowers budding, blooming with flare."
    `Your words bring warmth to the reader, and portray such vivid images.. great alliteration with "sunshine spreading" and "budding, blooming" so beautiful.. your words brought a smile to my face.. what a uplifting poem that speaks of a beautiful morning and the flowers blooming and glistening in the sun.. makes me think of spring and summer ;]

    "As morning unfolds with suspense,
    wonder fills my heart with delight,
    and I know the world is alright.
    Nature's beauty is so immense."
    `Your last line is sooo powerful Sylvia! So very true, what a beautifully written poem.. I needed something uplifting to brighten my day and with such short words and vivid images of such nature I'm smiling. :]

    Sylvia..what a beautiful poem my dear =)
    The opening line was very captivating and amazing.
    I think I read about this form but I don't recall it is famous here on the site.
    you did a wonderful job dear.
    To tell the truth I never really enjoy a poem about nature, yea I know it's weird, I just don't find immense emotions in it..but this one.. you left me breathless =)

    I have no criticism !
    Write one.
