    Temps:)

    I loved this feel-good poem:)
    Especially these two lines:

    Clouds collide as light peaks through,
    fighting away dullness, melancholy

    Very uplifting message in here!
    You are growing with every poem you post, dear girl:)

    *hugs*

    Gorgeous grasses stand with pride,
    growing upon the velvet terrain.

    I loved the title so I was eager to read this. :]

    "Gloomy skies drip liquid tears"
    ^hmm "gloomy" has been so overused in poetry lately. I liked the word "drip" but didnt like "liquid" Of course tears are liquid and wet or else they wouldnt be tears. Maybe you can say something like "crystal tears"

    "Shielding sun's luminous glamor,
    with their murky faces of gray."
    ^I loved the imagery you presented here with the contrast from light to dark. Great use of words to create this scene.

    "as the light mist kisses their leaves"
    ^I liked "kiss" here. Great use of scenic imagery.

    "Clouds collide as light peaks through"
    ^I didnt like "light" here because you used it once before already although I loved the "clouds collide"

    "Gorgeous grasses stand with pride"
    ^I didnt like "gorgeous grasses" Its not a good word to describe grass and I didnt like grass in the first place. Seemed out of place from the beautiful descriptions you had before and it all flowed nicely until grass. I think you should edit that line especially cause it leads into the conclusion and you want to end it strongly.

    Great use of imagery here Temps. Its what stood out ot me the most. I'm not sure why its in the life cateogry because on the surface its describing nature but then looking deeper into it, its meaning is truly powerful and you did a good job getting it across.

    Well-written piece of work, you have such a talent and it really shows. Excellent imagery, I adore a good nature poem and this was that. Not only did you bring me into this piece, but it was rather touching and made me smile! Great wording and message, thanks for posting. 5/5 from me, take care and God Bless You!
