Notes About The Poem

Entranced

From inside looking out my hourglass
I watched as nature painted winter's grass
Entranced from listening to her rhythmic rune
One April watercolor afternoon.

Hello Daniel. I turned to this entry at random. It is lovely and very much poetry. The imagery stands out thus entranced indeed. This little gem is one that must be read out lout with emphasis and feeling. It was an honor turning to your page. Have a wonderful night. Keep enjoying poetrysoup. (smile)

can't seem to find a poem of yours I have not read, Maybe way in the back somewhere? Anyway, as I read this again, I was really impressed by the final line. It's SO pretty.

Hello. I hope this visit finds you well. Great poem. How awesome that you live in a glass house and that your windows are so clean to be looking out to see things so keen. I am lucky if I get to my windows once a year.

As I read this again on the winners list, Gorgeous came to my mind. I dropped way down and read that gorgeous was the word I used the very first time I had seen it. Very well deserved win. Congratulations, Danny. Hope all is well for you.

Lovely write, Daniel, very cheerful and colorful. I hope you are doing well? I am doing great. Isolation hasn't really been no big deal since Roper passed, because I chose to lock myself away from everyone.

Your already talented self got even more smooth, me thinks, during 'our' silent period. This piece led to that thought but how can Daniel-awesomeness multiple itself? Contest or no, this is a stand=alone beauty! Poetry hugs ... CayCay
