I'm running out of things to say about your work, Jess. I mean that in a good way. I think I've used elegance, graciousness, and knowingly passion. They say a poet / (ess) gives away a slice of themselves with each writing piece. I believe that to be true, Jess.

Best, JohnC

This work has reached the exceptional level

Delightful personification and what a lovely response to this gorgeous artwork too. The phonics are phenomenal with the consonance of L, P and alliteration of G and B plus assonance of A in lake and draped making it feel like a rhyme.

I love ekhrastic poetry. You've done it again! A six!

Warmly,
rd

This is beautifully a written poem. Photo is very nice as well. I love this line draped behind
the blushing moon. This is a nice club entry.
Well done.

Ciao!

When I was living near the shores of lake Maggiore , I saw often the light of the moon shimmering on the lake.

A beautiful magical site.

I love the artwork, it enticed me to open your post and read your vivid poem.

That is such a very beautiful poem with splendid imagery, describing the image perfectly. The alliteration, subtly used is well done also. The poem certainly is an excellent response to the ekphrastic prompt.

jessica, How many people can look at the exact same image/picture, and see it totally differently; using simple straight forward words trying to describe the wonders of nature at any given moment...It's the wordsmith
who uses metaphors, personification and hyperbole in verbiage that will
knocked your socks off...As in this case! Thank you for sharing this with us here at fanstory. teafor2

I liked the romantic tone of your poem - creating an image of a blushing bride gliding across the lake into the arms of the eager groom. Great response to the club challenge.

A lovely, flowing and evocative verse reflecting the beautiful scene in the painting. It skilfully exudes atmosphere whilst maintaining its very economic form. A great entry for the club. Take care Debbie
