From a Dream

by sibyllene   Mar 21, 2007


We danced
in broken waltzes,
like leaping, untutored dryads
barefoot
as the snow fell deep and white and mad.

I asked
why you declined-
the snow was cold, our feet bare-
harsh joy
like kittens claws and waterfalls

You said
that you felt
as if you would know me too intimately
too soon
if you joined my stripped soul dancing in the snow.

    Another beautiful poem. There isn't one unnecessary line here, they all add something to make a phenomenal image. The imagery in the first stanza is excellent. The line brakes are also very clever. Great Job.

    This one is absolutely beautiful. I love how I can picture everything so vividly. You make everything so well known in such a short amount of words. I love that, if it makes any sense at all. Ha.. Awesome job. 5/5.

    Thanks for the comment by the way. It really helped a lot. You definitely know what you're doing. :]
