Notes About The Poem

Tonight

In-flight
In pheromone
Honeysuckle perfume
Insect antennae knot freshly
bouquet.

In breeze
I feel your breath
rustle shiny reeds
of my stints' hapless hinterland
you learn.

A vest
of velveteen
gleaming wings that trembled
Turn to a whirring glint beneath
full moon.

Dearest Lasaad! What a magnificent, and very romantic, integration of the senses through your signature ability to create memorable imagery - "vest of velveteen!" You built tension and release masterfully! So many well chosen words to articulate your poem. And your title perfectly sets up anticipation! Thank you sharing this treasure. Blessings to you my friend!

Beautiful imagery throughout this cinquain chain, absolutely love the way you’ve written this. “ honeysuckle perfume” i love that and how you’ve gone so descriptive making every cinquain flow with the other seamlessly! “ in breeze i feel your breath” that is soul touching and expresses such deep emotions. “ gleaming wings that trembled” love that . Your use of poetic techniques in such a restrained form is beyond impressive to read! And to end it with the full moon, is so surreal! Pleasure readn

Dear Lasaad, I'll not write you a novella that expresses my appreciation for your creative mind's skill as a poet. You know how much I admire your poetry... 'Tonight' shines as brightly as all of your poems do... bewitching.

Wow, this is such a beautiful cinquain form poem! The richly poetic and romantic ambience here has hued a gorgeous tapestry of love, which can spellbind anyone's soul! Your wordsmithery is so eloquent with vivid imageries.. "Honeysuckle perfume", "In breeze I feel your breath", "A vest of velveteen gleaming wings that trembled" Also, the alliterations provide a mesmerizing flow to this poem.. So ethereal and serene.. The use of nature is quite profound as well! A wonderful write, as always..
