As Aurora danced on high

You were on a roll tonight, Tia. I sure appreciate you reading and reviewing all of my poems for the April challenge thus far. I need to catch up on my reading and reviewing, too. Hopefully I will get a break in my week to do so. I'm replying to all at once. Thank you for the wonderful reviews. :)

Danced on high, high on love. Short poem brings with it the energy of the dance and elation combined with the subtleness of the whispered words, "I love you." A nice contrast.

I love the picture. I love the aurora lights. They are perfect for declaring your love. The love seems like a miracle just like the beauty of the light. Great work.

What a romantic setting for a declaration of love. I've seen film clips of the Northern Lights and they're so beautiful...just like acknowledged love. Best wishes, Josie

Thank you, Josie. Not much rivals the Northern Lights when it comes to beautiful scenery. :)

Your 15 line poem
employs rhyme effectively.
good consonance of N sounds in neath/midnight/danced/hands
you create a vivid scene which in turn creates mood well

A wonder in just fifteen words. The word neath is suitable for the line instead of underneath. The artwork looks splendid. The first two are rhyming too.

I think it was a you made two very good decisions here. First, the abbreviation of 'beneath', and second, the use of a vibrant proper noun in 'Aurora'. Both choices added wonderful texture to this short form. Nicely done.

I just glanced at what I wrote in that review and I am appalled at that first sentence.

"I think it was a you made..."?!?!?

I think it was a I may have had a stroke while writing that. Thank you for not laughing in my face. :)

Good

There is nothing not to love about short poetry. I just love the read about love in a era of such hate. This poem made me feel like I was in the 1800s and love was the way of the day. You should have this painted and hung somewhere. Thanks for the read.

A lot of imagery in just three lines. Wonderful little poem with a great sense of romance. I like how the beauty of the aurora corresponds with the beauty of love.
