Notes About The Poem

Flaming Ripples---Etheree

comes
wistful,
in a gloss
of  frothy drifts
she cruises near bends...
old river dressed in leaves
peach-gold like October tides.
And ripples splash through a varnished
light, crests twirling on pale twigs,wildbuds; 
flaming river’s last glide …. prelude to snow.

ohhh, that line about peach-gold. SO pretty!! now that i am seeing it again, I like it even better than before. I think for the way you started with that verb at the top is why I scored it the way I did, but gosh, I should have placed this slightly higher!! Congrats in my contest, Nette.

I'm completely mesmerized by your words and image my dear friend, Nette! Soo love it. You did it so well. I'm sure this will do well in the contest. Thank you so much for sharing and wish you the best. Thank you so much as well for reading mine, i mean my etheree. I just hope I did it right because it was my second or third time (i think) to try this form but my very first time to enter in a contest for an approval. Again, TYTYSSM. I'll send you msg soon. love & misses, leonora
