Dusk sky did divide bold
like ivory piano keys free
and divulged its petticoat;
as foam upon wild waves afloat.
Showed brilliant fruit of Fuji tree;
a fantastic fable quite untold.
Unleashed luster across sky;
splattered sensation sweet treat
before my fixed glance.
All things change; no second chance.
I hurried my petite feet…
stood still to watch and sigh.
Every time I linger in the wood, gaze upon the open sky, or sit upon the beach my creativity is stirred. I’m amazed at the created world about me. Another turn-about pattern in my poetry: abccba, deffed, (easier than the last). Includes a double ending rhyme pattern (last two words in lines 2, 5, 8, and 11).
Linking up at dverse Meeting the Bar: Creativity
The poem was amazing. It gives me a motivation to use nature as my subject in making a poem. Your poem helped me a lot with Literature project. Keep up the spirit
Looking forward to read more of your poems.
I function in much the same way. When the muse eludes, I know I must head outdoors. Walk, move, listen, smell, really-really- look. And then she joins me, and we create.
The seashore does it for me – thanks for taking me to one of my places of inspiration
As breathtaking as the wonders you describe.
Your wonderful rhyme
with words so rich
spelled out the dance
of life’s romance
without a hitch
and stirred my mind
– thank you
yes beaches and forests are powerful.
we breathe them =)
Nice work! I love the ending.
Peace, Linda
i love it – where better to fuel the creative in us than in nature, where creativity abounds
I love how the sky divulged it’s petticoat, great take on the prompt
There is so much to watch in nature…one cannot help but be inspired.
I’m inspired by nature too… this is lovely.
inspiration springs from nature…and yours is a gorgeous example of creativity in motion;)
With images such as this how can we help but be inspired? A beautiful and eloquent poem to the prompt.
What a stunning effect the sunset has when we stop to watch. Your imagery painted volumes!
What a stunning picture ~ And your words captured the dusk sky so eloquently ~
Wonderful structure and diction combine with beautiful images in your poem. I am infinitely inspired by nature as well. I live in the mountains among groves of aspens, evergreens, and abundant wildlife.
Sigh…beautiful and inspiring.
Great blends of art here and petticoats – and beautiful images both in poem and on screen (in pic). k .
