Peat-whisky dreams


Evening finds ascension
on a Red Grouse wing;
the brilliant copper sky 
fades to twilight beam.
 
 
It wafts the weathered flora
of a season’s ending term,
as young Skylarks soundly sleep
in the nearby bracken fern.
 
 
The purple hue glints playfully
on a steep highland muir,
with lovers lying blithesome 
on the fragrant heather floor,
 
 
their drunk love on crescendo
with a piper's distant drone;
sharing peat-whisky dreams
amid the summer’s final gloam.

    I find it difficult to write a poem layered with such fancy wording, but you seem to do it well. I agree with previous commentors, it has a real nice fantasy ring to it.

    Yes, I think it might fit that theme of fantasy. Because of the way you call it dreams!!!

    You have a wide range of vocabulary and the poem is very beautiful Thvia, Is Tvia an abbreviation for a longer name? It is a lovely name take care, xxx

    Shetley Avatar Thvia Shetley Date: 1/19/2013 8:58:00 AM Block poet from commenting on your poetry

    no, Thvia isn't an abbreviation. My dad was a fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs books and my name comes from the title character in the 4th book of the John Carter series "Thuvia, Maid of Mars". I'll never know if the vowell omission was intentional or not but it makes me the only Thvia on the planet!

    this is very lovely and dreamy. Is it for the fantasy contest by chance?

    Shetley Avatar Thvia Shetley Date: 1/18/2013 12:07:00 AM Block poet from commenting on your poetry
