Spring Dawn

When the silky light teases, slowly filters
         through the land of drowsiness, gently rippling
               into ardent red allure, whispers linger
                            sweetly seductive.

This meter is so hard to get. I had to redo mine, Paul, and I still am not sure if I got it right. Anyway, the IMAGERY in this is utterly fantastic!!! wow. Luv, Andrea

Paul Callus

Pleased that you like it, Andrea. I also have had to go over mine again; sometimes (especially late at night) our mind accepts certain words which later on turn out to be wrong. // Have a lovely weekend! // paul

Hi Paul,, waves!! :P What i first notice from your lil verse is of course the ever appealing imagery you present but as I try to read it one more time I like the progressive intensity of touches, first silky---smoothly flowing then comes ardent strokes-- which is more passionate... filters then it lingers.. :)! wow!!//olive eloisa .. :)! I had a hard time on my verse in this form but I learned much.. :)!//olive eloisa

:) Lovely....I'm working on one! I won in his last competition...First place, and now...I'm stumped! :( I'll try. You, however, made it sing....I read it twice through...once to catch your meter, second time to catch your beauty! :)

Yes, you did very well! There is still time to write one; entries are moving at a slow pace. Thank you for reading twice...I appreciate that Eileen:) hugs and goodnight. // paul
