I love those opening lines: <br />'The roses are flaring their skirts like bells<br />Red and pink, as sun strikes a heated spell'.<br />I also think the way you have interspersed the human activities very briefly in between the natural ones is so well done. And what a gorgeous line: <br />'Sky spills ribbons - feverish hue of blue'! Kim M.

Though for meter (pacing) I liked the outside on best. <br /><br />For me, one thing that helps establish a rhythm or pace within a metric has been line length, approximate use of the same number of syllables.<br /><br />But then as you know--I simply look more to content than finesse. But if I had your skill at the imagery of beauty and tranquility, my own poems may just be more lyrical. <br /><br />I Like this two for one A LOT!the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-89200232113156572372016-06-23T23:27:05.040-04:002016-06-23T23:27:05.040-04:00o my god!...so beautiful Grace and what lovely end...o my god!...so beautiful Grace and what lovely end words, like echo poem...Sumana Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333363799083094084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-72849425516304757722016-06-23T22:51:44.750-04:002016-06-23T22:51:44.750-04:00You made summer come alive, lovely imagesYou made summer come alive, lovely imagesTruedessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079953417572207613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-77241689547425019532016-06-23T22:46:40.082-04:002016-06-23T22:46:40.082-04:00Lovely images of a beautiful summer day! :) Very r...Lovely images of a beautiful summer day! :) Very relaxing. ghostmmnchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463509569970002409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-52477516782984391502016-06-23T21:47:43.194-04:002016-06-23T21:47:43.194-04:00Beautiful poetry, Grace!Beautiful poetry, Grace!Josslyn Rae Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168519725561935809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-89113641595394668162016-06-23T21:04:32.186-04:002016-06-23T21:04:32.186-04:00I love those flirts in skirts against a "feve...I love those flirts in skirts against a "feverish hue of blue."colleenhttp://looseleafnotes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-79334989202205503412016-06-23T20:05:55.671-04:002016-06-23T20:05:55.671-04:00So delightful When I first began reading, I though...So delightful When I first began reading, I thought it was going to be a quote from some famous poet...well, it is!Victoriahttp://liv2write2day.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856662679041828863.post-72968362593176169162016-06-23T17:30:31.635-04:002016-06-23T17:30:31.635-04:00You had me with the first line!
