The Place of Things

by silvershoes   Dec 7, 2010


Dawn lights over mountains
in the backdrop as
hovering trees wrapped in gnarled bark
with twisted branches and
budding sprigs
cross over a glistening, golden foreground.

Meadowlarks nest in dry gray grass beyond
the trees, but
before the mountains.

Dew hangs in question.

    The ending is superb. I think it's always the most important part of the poem, and you fulfilled that ideal wonderfully.

    A short poem but I found the imagery in this piece to be the key things and looking at it from that direction, I would say that you have done a wonderful job. It was almost as if I was looking at a picture while reading the poem. I like how you have placed everything so neatly into the poem and also the flow helped with your imagery as the reader sees everything passing by as they read through the poem, which made by your good flow makes it really enticing.

    This was, I guess, my favorite stanza if we let it slid as one that is. :] The simplicity of the line puts so much imagery in this one line yet keep it really simple. The whole poem was enjoyable and a wonderful write. Great job and keep writing.
