Comment from Marienkiefer
A wonderful poem written with an explorers eye, adventurers spirit and artists creative design.
Sparkling in your writing: your descriptive words, scenery you chisel and carve out of the terrain, the ebb and flow of nature movements in water and on the ground, though I saw less movement in air. But you have captured a great deal, very eloquently in your poem.
I also observed progression and retraction of night, receding and intensifying light, erosion of memories and dilapidated dreams. Also magnificent is the sounding of your poetry in timber and octave, your appeal to all the senses.
Interesting combination of scents of horse manure and house paint and roasting fresh-caught trout. Were you trying to convey discord here or an unpleasant memory of some kind or emotion, I wonder.
How wonderful an experience to read your poem, to discover every movement, motion, emotion is broken down in minute, milliseconds, blink of an eye and eyes wide open detail, in quarters, intervals, hours, events, to build tempo of a full day.
Excellent.

You won't need my affirmation for you to know you've penned something wonderful here - it flowed from your heart and you will have felt in your bones and soul the authenticity of emotion that you have transcribed so well with rich imagery and feeling.
Thanks for the road trip through your home!

Ugh, I'm dying, this is soooooo beautiful. Every line was a little celebration in my brain. I wish upon wishes that I had the patience, stamina, and brain power to write longer poems like this. Just gorgeous. One million stars for you!!!

This is sensational, K. The imagery in this is astounding. It touched all of my scenes over and over again. I honestly didn't want to be taken from the experience with it ending. Great job on this! Best, JohnC

Dear poet, unfortunately I'm
out of 6 stars because this is
a lovely and artistic gem of a

writing is quite a marvel.
Coming across poems such

Marvellous. Such an evocative poem. I have seen that part of the world, albeit many moons ago. You bring back fond memories not only of the grandeur of the landscape but the warmth of the people.

Comment from Cass Carlton
This is poetry at its best. Every word is perfectly placed. Every line has a gem of imagery encased in it. This was written while "in the thrall" of inspiration and it shows.I'd hazard a guess that as you wrote you barely lifted pen from paper, because the words "flowed" onto the page like magic. Beautiful work Well done cheers Cass

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. The poem definitely just sort of formed on its own. I haven't been as connected to anything in quite a long time. I appreciate you giving it your time. Have a wonderful day.
Comment from dellsworthpoet
A very sensuous poem. The texture of the words brings out the sensations of nature. The warmness of the delivery speaks of a deep affection. The flow is good. The progression through the senses fills out the experience well.
Thanks for a good read.
