Swallows

Swallows swoop weaving Summer into Vermilion skies whilst the warm breeze whispers a welcome to the coming night. The gentle rippling waves lap the tranquil beach sands as the birdsong heralds the end of a glorious Summer's day. A million untold stories played out on life's vast stage. Night falls softly, so seductively silently bringing new life to secret dreams, precious wishes, a brighter, more glorious promise for tomorrow tomorrow Summer

I love the beauty in both image and word. What a lovely little dance it is for those Swallows. It's not just the images it says it is, or draws it is, it's the feeling of flying it gives! A 7. I'd put this under the genre of SHAPE POETRY. This what your peers are trying to tell you. Even though it is a free verse poem, it is much harder to structure in this wonderful shape. It is my suggestion to change the genre and nothing else. Cheers,

Thank you very much for your kind comment, I'm pleased you liked the format. I wasn't sure if people would find it a little over the top. Regards, Ian
