Revision 5.40:pm 26th September 2008



Air to a Summer's DAY



Summer: silent steps with gentle feet
and from flowers bees buzz merrily.
Creatures clothed in pigments that deceive;
dissolve into nature's wonderland--
where blows a hot wind to kiss my cheek.








Air to a Summers DAY


Summer: steps with gentle feet
and from flowers, bees buzz merrily.
Insects sporting pigments that decieve
fade into coloured petaled chambers.
Where blows a hot wind to kiss my cheek.
repeat
Where blows a hot wind to kiss my cheek.

John, Is that first word summen or summer? Makes a big difference in how you read it...lol. My eyes can't quite make it out. I think you can leave off the 'and' from the second line. 'Coloured petaled' seems like a mouthful, almost make you stumble in that line. I like the image that forms when reading this, gives a feel of overall relaxation. JMHO...

G'day Steve,

Summer, mate.

I left a word out of the first line. pinkpanther.gif

'silent'

Nah, think i'll leave the and in (9)

This is my revised version.


Summer: silent steps, with gentle feet, (9)
and from flowers bees buzz merrily. (9)
Creatures clothed in pigments that deceive; (9)
dissolve into natures wonderland, (9)
where blows a hot wind to kiss my cheek (9)

Hi John,

I'm not familiar with this style, but I think your poem is quite lovely and lyrical!! hsdance.gif hsdance.gif hsdance.gif Makes me wish it were still summer in the northern hemisphere, too!!

I can't give you any significant advise, but I do notice two nits. You shouldn't have the comma after "feet." Also, "nature" needs an apostrophe and an "s." (nature's)

Hi, Peg minniemouse.gif


Nah, I want a pause before 'and'.

I put the postraphy in nature's. minniemouse.gif pinkpanther.gif

I checked out 'Air'.

Qoute: Crudden.

It usually denotes a song (qv), tune or melody, or all three.
Frequently used in the late 16th c. and during the 17th when many
collections were published.
Cowper suggests the general sense, when, in A Winter Walk at Noon
he writes.

There is in souls a sympathy with sounds;
And, as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk, or grave:
Some chord in unison with what we hear,
Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies.


John. troy.gif Wizard.gif

Hey John,

What a lovely new take on your Summer's Day saga! cloud9.gif I haven't heard of this form before but your poem is very calm and serene. Other than not needing those commas up in L1, this is a lovely read!

Enjoyed mate.
