Swan Lake

Post by gooseberry » August 2nd, 2012, 8:52 am

She is splendour,
gliding galleon-like,
the curve of whiteness,
smooth on silver waters,
where the sun hides
his face in shame,
and the willows arch
their necks in wonder.

The creator knew no restraint,
when he fashioned her,
from the stars that
explode in her wake;
and tossing her head,
in elegant grace,
half turns,and beholds a
hint of beauty's mirrored face.

So nice to see a nature poem in the spotlight, this is penned with a grace which matches the subject matter and a descriptive flair which makes for a vivid picture of a world swooning in admiration to its beauty.
Congratulations on the spotlight!

This is absolutely beautiful. This is a celebration of beauty, and you use images that are both poignant and original, for this I laud you.


Eventually, I ventured into free verse.
