Walking Her Home

Walking home in the deep purple shadows Of twilight, her arm crooked in his As she looks up to his face With a shy smile and a look Of trust and innocence, for she feels So complete, yet reserved because she doubts She's ever felt this way before while Walking home in the deep purple shadows.

How might a poem possess both strength and meekness? Could it be that, unlike oil and water, these characteristics can only find their union the simple power of love? I think you have captured such a wedded pair in this poem. Beautifully written, with subtle imagery, a balanced structure that moves the reader along with the action of the poesy. I was moved by the line: with a shy smile and a look of trust and innocence. Subperb. Distinct. Creative.

This is an absolutely amazing write. The challenge of this form in my opinion is repeating the first line in the last line. It has to be written so it flows perfectly back to the last line. We as the reader can not be aware of the limitation rather it has to read as if this is the poets choice in order to write the best piece he can. That is exactly what you have done here the form has not forced the write, it is undetectable.Excellent!

I really like how you've expressed her feelings in such a tender way, by saying a lot, with very little.... This was a lovely write and I enjoyed it so much. Very nicely done, Isaiah!
