Notes About The Poem

Heaven and Earth Kuhlmann Sonnet

Blindingly bright: flames devour rocky: 
                                                               the cliff.
Provide shape: pace matter falter: 
                                                              into skiff.
Flaring lava: falls spinelike leaps:
                                                          as waterfall. 
Mother nature: monstrous farce vast:
                                                               peak tall. 


Roused dawn: shine grace glide:
                                                               from sky.
Sloughing paints: bright shades blaze:
                                                                 the eye.
Scalding steam: flow plunge strong:
                                                               daze lava.
Erupting volcano: crater flame scent: 
                                                                the java!


Defiant against: posh rough notched: 
                                                             the assault
Cherry blossom: tree gripping charged:
                                                                   a fault
Growing proud: bright shades stark:
                                                                 the sight
Nature endearing: lovers blooms lust:
                                                                 the blight

Lasaad, congratulations on your win with this difficult form. Your imagery of fiery volcanos and the formation of new land in"spines" is just one illustration of your poetic skill. Blessings dear friend!
