Makeover

Old Poem: Toes Of Rain ...4/6/2014
August spills rains with tapped grains, like pearl veins on roofs Drenched in soft hue, toes play new songs of blue night’s croons ~than-bauk form~ ................ Makeover: Flavor Of Rain 4/5/2015 Just now, the saline flavor of rain crawls on my cheeks , drips on hands then sprawls out unto a wet lane tingling like a new song in the blue of night-time, ready to waft through the flesh of moist petals--- rows of half-sunk blooms levitate as if their mouths hunger for salty broth from weeks of flushed heat. There I am, drenched in the sudden pour of sheet willing to partake of such welcome…yes! wake me, melt me, inhabit me with pearl veins... bit by bit, the same chimes flutter on my limbs trailing in a gait of conga strut ---tunes jumping from a droplets’ swish---couples blending as one porcelain-like figurine, with vapor glistening on slippery skin… and for all the rush and moist touch of this fluid croon, gods laugh as if nothing mattered. ~free verse~ Roy Jerden's Makeover ~ I wanted to write a more 'edgy' poem using the senses as my creative handle~ 4/5/2015

aaaaaaaah.... there is a Nette-ism, softest strength. I love how these lines flow. FAVE: fluid croon.... and the simplicity of the last line grips, holds us, startles... as it should. Roy will love this. I hope it gets first. It DOES have an edge. Hope you are well, soul sis. Working my way back. xoxox

Your words cling to the reality that has been brought to your existence with a firm grip. You paint a picture with words that bring your experiences alive in the reader's mind. Emile.

This is a fascinating makeover by expert hands. The original is beautiful in its visual and gentle simplicity. The new one is an excellent different interpretation; most of all, I love its carefree yet sensual flavour. Undoubtedly, a winning poem! hugs // paul

Jeez, the former, so soft, the latter--earthy and succulent. You just gave me the best of both worlds, Nette, the terrific poet. Let it rain; thank you!
