Amongst The Roses Comments

Beautifully written with vivid imagery

This is a talented poem and I like the words also

I like these sentences, beautifully inscribed

So I brushed it away for her sweet sake; In that garden of beautiful Roses! In the dreamy perfumes From ripe-red blooms In a dance and a dazzle of Roses.

But I whispered: 'O Darling, I falter with pain! ' And the thirsty leaves rustled, and hissed for the rain...I am absolutely delighted with the captivating poetic expression! A magnificent poem!

Very beautiful poem, full of emotions and passionately penned in a flowing language. Enjoyed reading. Thanks for sharing.10 points.

Actually I just referred to my Poetry Handbook, Anabel Lee, and this poem likewise, are written in ANAPEST meter, which is two lightly stressed syllables followed by a heavily stressed syllable. I'll have to read this poem closely to see if it follows this pattern throughout. 'Of a cool sweet place, of a nestling face seems to break the pattern. Those seem to end in three heavy stresses. I'm an expert not, so correct me if I'm wrong. Knowing this just make reading it aloud all the more fun!

What reminded you of Annabel Lee is the iambic pattern, which is one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This may be close to an iambic pentameter, which is 5 sets of unstressed and stressed syllables. Annabel Lee also follows an iambic pentameter pattern, which is why the poem appears to flow and roll off of the tongue like a song or a child's lullaby. Look up iambic pentameter and then read the poem aloud, and notice the wave-like pattern you hear, of crests and troughs, hills and valleys, in the tone of your voice.

A beautifully crafted piece of work.
