re-creation

Poem Body

Sol's spirit skips across the blue -
a nascent multispectrumed hue
that sparkles in the morning dew.
Life made anew, life made anew.

His rays spread out, so manyfold,
across an easel dawn has rolled,
the new day's works to be there scrolled
in threads of gold, in threads of gold.

O'er mounts of green the morning breaks
to desert that no water slakes
and elsewhere there'll be soft snowflakes
the world awakes, the world awakes.

An animated mural warms
as all of life arouses, swarms,
and somewhere there'll be violent storms,
as art performs, as art performs.

I'd sit here at my breakfast table,
a new day born for my appraisal,
and say a maker is a fable...
were I but able, were I but able.

About This Poem

Style/Type: Structured: Western

Review Request Intensity: I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Editing Stage: Editing - rough draft

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

I love everything about this, the meter, the repetition of the last line and of course the poem itself.
I've been trying to write a few poems in rhyme, including a ballad, but they just feel forced and a bit trite.
This has such a natural flow, as though the rhyme were incidental.
Ah well, back to the drawing board for me........ :-)

So glad you like this....
just for your info, if you're interested, this form is known as a monotetra
- written in iambic tetrameter, with the repetition in the last verse of each stanza...

I think you're being a bit harsh with yourself re rhyme - I don't find what you write as seeming forced . ..

Love judy

Haha, that's because I haven't put the forced stuff on here.....
It's only happened recently, since I've been getting into the more technical aspects and bending my poetry to fit in with a certain style.
I started a ballad the other day............... ummmm, will go back to it later, because it's a gothic story I want to tell.
As we say in Yorkshire "It'll be reet"
Thanks for the info, I am interested. Jx

a warm and tranquil feel about it, the wording so natural that the rhyme never intrudes.
