Anacreontic Couplets-Stars Motive

Written: December 25, 2023 For Silent One Contest _________________________________________ Plum blooms coated the lawn floor, Swept from trees by wind abhor Stars ne'er root me much concern I'm quite taut with Earth discern Stars, as blooms, are grand to glance That display crowns a drudge stance A sprout holds a wealth insight I deem beat to view fruits sight.

What a wonderful scene you have painted in your beautiful couplets. Plum blooms are also beautiful as cherry blossoms, I feel. I don't know exactly as we have neither of them here. Have seen only in pictures. Your choice of words and rhyming are so beautiful ! Congratulations on your first place win dear friend. Wish you a happy New Year of greater creativity !

Wow, dear Sotto, this anacreontic couplet poem really creates a whimsical imagery of lush plum blossoms sprinkled on emerald lawns and stars blooming as cosmic flowers on earth, keeping us rooted to the cores.. What an incredible depth you've conveyed in such a profound way here, whilst weaving such delicate phrases together, as they flow lyrically.."A sprout holds a wealth insight", "Stars ne'er root me much concern, I'm quite taut with Earth discern" Absolutely enjoyed reading this, BOL, a fav

What a lyrical anacreontic couplet this is dr sotto, i love the cadence of this, i am personally not so good with rhymes, and i have to use my brain if i have to do forms like these so i will not even try this at the moment, or maybe i might , however, you are a natural with rhymes, i see you come up with unique ones too, imagery here is exquisite and so well articulated and delivered for the prompt. I especially love the line “ stars never root me much concern” deep! So poetic and beautiful,
