About This Poem

amidst rose petals

amidst rose petals

a lady bug sits…

trying to fit in


morning sun whispers

to nudge her tenderly…

a ruby  takes flight



Gwendolen Rix
9-15-12

Inspired by a video that Elizabeth Wesley sent me-Love is in the Air!

    Okies now [no one kill me Gwen asked me to review her haiku] first haiku..lines 1 & 2 are very nice..line three is a judgement/ a subjective statement [ie it's all in your mind, your opinion and you are personifying not done in traditional haiku] if you really saw this..what else was happening? did you hear anything? ahhhhhh you did SMELL somethings so line 3 can bring in scent! verse 2 all personification all subjective..free verse..Light & Love

    These are truly the most remarkable poems that I've read from you in a long time Gwendolen...except maybe that mausoleum poem you wrote, I really did love that one! This is a delightfully tender write, one that melts the heart! A beautiful lady bug tries to fit in, and the sun whispers...she takes flight...wow what powerful words you have written! I am enamored by you gracious love you have shown with this piece, a wonderful magnificence! Great Work!!
