I like your poem very well. The artwork is perfect. Your words express the feelings of dance well. I like how you interwove the dance words with the words of poetry. Good job on the rhyme. There is great flow from beginning to end.

No changes needed.

Well done.

Missy, This is a beautiful poem you have written and very cleverly done. I think it is one of your poems I like the best. The way you use the different kind of poetry to a dance is original. One minor thing Olay as you write is actually written Ole with an accent over the letter e.
I loved this, very well done. All the best Ulla

A clever interpretation of the picture. You are right. Love has its own language and can speak to us in ways nothing else can. Well done.
Take care.
Christelle.

Hi Missy,
yes, what a creative and clever use of thoughts... all with a very flowing movement, as you step in and around-back and forth to the rhythm of a heart at, and in play.

Your first verse set up the creative beauty in between the rhyming couplets that allowed the rhythm to sway all the way to your last verse that sealed the deal in magic bliss... I enjoyed the images this poem evoked... yes, very creative and beautifully composed.

With our thoughts we create,
the rhythm of our heart,
James vx's.

I think this is a charming and rather beautiful piece; and the picture matches it up perfectly. I particularly like the alliteration of 'Spin me with a Sonnet that sets my soul aflame'

    Thank you, Adrian. I am pleased you came by and left this...hope I didn't twist your arm to badly...lol

reply by jpduck on 26-Jul-2015
    I'm afraid my arm needs to be twisted when it comes to poetry as, so often, I don't understand it. But then, if I don't read it, how am I ever going to learn to understand it? Keep twisting.

Poetry use to remind me of a trapped person locked within themselves, throwing hints to be rescued, desperate to write the right lines. Thanks to you and a very few I'm beginning to take the words for what they are, not some cryptic puzzle. Thanks for the pleasure of reading another of your fine poems. :-)

This is certainly pleasing and very fun to read aloud--so musical and cadenced like a dance. It matches the artwork perfectly, making this is powerful ekphrastic poem

Love how you used poetic forms like pearls on a theme thread of love.

Favorite lines:
Swing me into your arms with an Acrostic that spells my name
Spin me with a Sonnet that sets my soul aflame


Fine alliteration and other devices woven in too!

Good rhymes. The only one I question, though is triolet and droplet. Triolet is pronounced with an AY sound at the end, and droplet with a LET.

Really enjoyed reading this aloud, and the visual presentation is artistic and appealing.

Well done!

Warmly, rd

There is not a more beautiful language that the language of LOVE. You have excelled yourself with this poem ,using different styles of poetry to dance to it. I like the lines with Rondel= rhumba beat and Triolet= Cha Cha. Good rhyme and flow of lines. Excellent presentation of your work.
