Embraced With Serenity.

by Courageous Dreamer   Apr 18, 2009


Legs standing tall, neck elongated.
Inhaling the essence of nature,
flowers' perfume soothing to my nostrils.
The spring breeze softly touching
my precious black face.

Eyes securely shut, ears flopping free,
birds chirp sweet songs to me.
Warmth upon my fawn colored fur,
loose hairs twirl as I continue to shed.
Embraced with serenity.

    I felt like someone was giving me a warm hug while I was reading this poem.
    I really enjoyed this piece Temps, Though I don't know why didn't you post it in the about nature poems..
    Anyway, Loved the simplicity and the wording :)
    I only think you need some more metaphors to strengthen the poem, to make it more beautiful.
    Lovely one hun, thank you for this =)

    Guess you're talking about a giraffe here? I just got that from the 'long legs' and the 'elongated neck'.

    To be honest Temps there's much to say about this poem; because you're basically describing an animal in poetic form. I can tell you though, I liked the calm tone of this poem, and I loved the subtle rhyme in the second stanza. It's a well written poem, and whilst it's not really original or emotive, it's just...nicely written. Advice for you though; you could have..got inside the mind a bit more, gave it more character. Minor typo on 'nostrils' by the way haha. But yeah, you could have give the animal a personality, because it's quite a physical poem. Add to it, I know people dont like going back to poems but you should if you actually wanna be a writer. Mess around with it. Keep what you have but give it more depth.

    Verse one could be about a horse or a dog and the second verse sounds like your dog you had writtent about. It will have to be readers choice since you have given a sense of mystery to this poem.

    Temps,

    I liked the ears flopping free bit, that sounded so cheerful:)
    Is this about you dog, or about a horse? I am not sure..
    It was indeed a serene poem, though:)

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid
