Comment from Nebukadneser

Exceptional

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! I don't think you know how brilliant this is. This is one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read on this site. It took my breath away as I could see you stroll through softly muted meadows. This my lady with the diamonds in her hair and gold dust in her hair is all that poetry is about - paint a picture so beautiful it takes the readers breath away.
Well done
you're a super star, Carolyn
Cool bananas and warm regards
Nebukadneser

verdent greens strewn
Shouldn't "verdent" be "verdant"?

of her ever abiding
"ever abiding" should be "ever-abiding".

I thought this poem was beautiful. Great flow and depth of meaning. Great job and good luck in the contest! :)

And I appreciate your comments, Fez. All of my poetry in the past rhymed but now I am trying my wings with free verse.. So glad you liked Shades of Night. Carolyn

This poem is done exceptionally well. The tone and mood is blissful and draws the reader in from beginning to end. Mature word usage.

Beautiful sensitive verse!

Softly muted meadows, moonbeam pathways, serenity intertwines, eternally bound are phrases that paint a wonderful scene.

Shades of starlit night is a winner. Best wishes in the contest.
