Flanked by rustling reeds on either side
The small boat made its lonesome way
Carrying two souls from all distractions

Beautiful poem, Valsa, Booking over waves, they quietly watched The cobalt sky hugging the mountains far Hills looming large, with clumps of trees And theirfoliage swaying in summer breeze. Thank you for sharing
lovely and beautifully penned - like to quote - Leaving all cares behind, on the sullen shores Hearing the lovely chanting of songbirds Enjoying the river's shifting loveliness The two entered into the river's inner heart ///wow 10+++++
It has been three months since I last visited Poemhunter; apparently, there is no longer an option to rate poems; anyway, this poem deserves a 10.
This vividly descriptive poem brings in mind the clarity of a painting, the idyllic magic of Victorian era, that contemplative disposition which only the tranquility of Nature can bring! Stunning!
This poem is sailing on happily in spate of your beautiful imageries....awesome with the lovely last stanza 10++++
A wonderfully described poem of a serene boat trip? .........well written Valsa
The starting stanza is a perfect introduction of the poem. Some of my appreciations of the thoughts and expressions I liked, have already been spelt out by Jayatissa K.Liyanage in his comment. The third, fourth and the last two stanzas are marvelous! 'A flower suddenly blooming in the wild Drifting them to a world sans all fences! ' - these two lines give a perfect finishing to this beautiful poem.10/10
Two. The poem reminded me of my some of my own boat rides, but not so serene, romantic and beautiful as described in the poem. Many lines, nay stanzas are quotable, but I particularly liked: (Please see the third part of my comment) .
One. Be it written from real life experience, be it pure imagination, I appreciate the poetess's real as well as inner eyes which can see such beautiful scenes, and of course her free flowing quill which can describe the scenes so poetically. A great work, Valsa!
This is pure imagination Khairul........! Thanks a lot for your detailed analysis of the poem and your great appreciation! I feel humbled!
I felt at peace reading this beautifully penned poem. Valsa, you are a queen of your craft. When one opens their eyes to the beauty of the world they are able to see the beauty in others. A romantic journey that draws the reader into the magical moment. I loved the 'Carrying two souls from all distractions'...WOW 10+
Thank you so much Simone! This comment coming from you, I see as a great recognition!
The small boat made its lonesome way Carrying two souls from all distractions... Life is a boat ride in the ocean of the cosmos. A soul keeps floating in the vastness of beauty. Beautiful poem.
Hi Thirupathi sir! Glad you visited my page! I love the way you have looked at it.... soul floating in the vastness of beauty!
beauty of boat not a .. .With lavender blossoms peeping through the green That drifted to and fro as the boat made its way
Beauty of nature is always there in a romantic trip, may be on the hills, in the river or at the bank of a sea. The romance of life so nicely penned by Valsa George.
Thanks a lot Akhtar ji! I know you always like to see life as romantic!
A wonderful poem Valsa. It was an interesting boat ride with charms of the river added vibrant colors to nature. Loved reading each lines. Beautiful photo! ! !
What a lovely boat ride, Valsa. So mesmerising! . I always think of the backwaters of kerala. Really lucky to be staying in Kerala and enjoying the beauty of nature and the boat rides. Beautiful poem. :)
The boat ride has been so touchingly and hauntingly inscribed with nice penmanship.It may be cited some lines.... Leaving all cares behind, on the sullen shores Hearing the lovely chanting of songbirds Enjoying the river's shifting loveliness The two entered into the river's inner heart Enjoyed with attractive photo provided.10
