Notes About The Poem
Edward Ibeh's This or That, Vol.34 Contest...22 Jun 25

In Stars Above

At last, the traffic comes to a halt.. the powdered clouds peep between hill tops as a lingering sigh pinches my flesh-- half weary, half shimmering in hours moist with late afternoon's need for quietude. Clearing my mind to embrace sweet ardor's mist and the fire of gentle touches, I feel the sense of grandeur in stars above , of his affection blazing like a spark-- my face awakened from toil of hours before-- Resting a bit to capture hints of stillness borne from the glimmer of this temporal lush, we gather each other --- fondling the light, gazing at nova streaks so beguiling, our affection cuddled by glazed ardor; inhabiting the pleasure of now.

Such beautiful, lush imagery, Nette, yet never does it bog down the story. Clearly and poetically, all is emotively told in a way that beautifully enfolds. Cheers for this ... CayCay

Nette, you've written an excellent poem on love, peace, and the beauty of shared times in nature. It depicts a tranquil yet intense interaction between two people who find consolation in one another's company against the backdrop of a beautiful countryside.
