love the alliteration in scribbling about sunlight
nice consonance of L sounds too in those opening lines
a tumult of clouds - I like that!
great use of enjambment to keep your lines flowing
I like the internal rhyme in tickles/prickles
and in alone/unknown
intense expression of emotion
in a most emotionally-charged closing

    Thank you so much for your excellent review, Brooke. I really notice an increased depth of your reviewing this last month! Sounds like the Committee has been on your tail too????

    The committee does not speak to me nor I to them. They decided years ago I was a lost cause, and I decided years ago they could go to hell. LOL :-)

    oh you do make me laugh Brooke! I've just been having 'conversations' with them too! :))) But seriously, even without them, I've really noticed your reviews are in greater depth now, which I really, REALLY appreciate! :)))S

Hi Sharyn,

This is a beauty my friend. I loved it, great sensory appeal and more it just reminds us to live the moment not write the moment. One of my constant pleasure is getting outside into nature rural or urban and living, feeling, being the moment itself.

This is fabulous wish I had a six for you this one would of got it.
Thanks for sharing it,
Maureen

Dear Sharon,
This beautiful poem starts simply; the urge to live instead of writing about. The nap in the sun covers the pure sensory joy, but invites complex feelings that seep into the mind when the quiet comes. this one really deserves a six...it's stunning--Ted

Aloha Sharyn,
Whatever you're feeling, bathing it is in the Son light will help. I like your poem full of emotion.

My, you are prolific! And so diversified. If I were to lie in the grass on our new property in upstate New York, I would probably drown. We want desperately to put seed into our 68 acres but the rain has been heavy for days and days. Your poem is lovely in its peaceful, sun worshipping way. Keep it up.

    Thx Conni - actually it's been raining cats & dogs for the last month here as well! But I'm lucky - I can always escape to the beach, which is usually hot and dry! :)))

To be alone is not the same as being lonely. When stuck in the situation we all need time to think and cry. This is an insightful poem with some good wisdom. Enjoyable read. Excellent work.

Hello Sharyn,
Your this poem reminds me of the 'Niagara Falls'. Like the Niagara it flows, falls and falls asleep giving all around a very pleasant sight.
"....to seed my heart, sore in need of nourishment and constancy. You've made it clear that you probably won't return....and the self explanatory questions in the last stanza" are marvelous.
Its language is simple having spontaneous flow with lively imagery and pictorial quality.
Superb indeed!
