Notes About The Poem

Opening Lines

Opening

The opening line in my story
Gave the reader a nudge
To read the entire tale of prose
To the end that would be golden

The story shook with appreciation
For all the joys they’d found together
Two hearts, two souls, two lives
Bound up into one beautiful thought

The story whispered with imagination
That instructed the reader to dream
And to reach beyond their mere ideas
To the hopes that fall from heaven’s grace

The story was alive with inspiration
To give back to the reader full yearning
For more words and more pages of hope
Discovered within the heart of the story

The story reached into the life of the prose
And hinted at miracles and sweet friendship
Feelings of love that whisper sweetly 
To the intimacy that lives within a spirit

The story opened with only one sentence
Powerful enough to conjure up serenity 
But gave back to the world a pleasant narrative
Built on soft adverbs and gentle adjectives

The opening line of the tale was poignant
Words that would lift the reader to attention
Drive him on with its everlasting paragraphs
Built on sentences dripping with honeyed serenity

well obtained. A story for the watcher to impale in their mind, and to decide to watch either some or all of it, indeed a great write. Thanks for sharing Gina
