Rainbow dissolves with broadness of end of perception and in blooming of love. In spring we see rebirth of word. An excellent imagery is drawn with sweetness of expression....10

ok, i just reread twice. i guess it is definitely 1. a poem of serious reflection and, in part, it is a lament for the dead. so, it IS an elegy. hee-hee. i shall start constructing June's all-female-poets showcase, using this as the first submitted poem. but unlike in the past, i shall wait a while before i make the 'first bunch' of poems available for readers of the showcase. i'll let you know when you may see it on my site. Thanks. bri :)

From Google: Elegy el·e·gy ˈeləjē/Submit noun 1. a poem of serious reflection, typically a lament for the dead. synonyms: lament, requiem, threnody, dirge; More 2. (in Greek and Roman poetry) a poem written in elegiac couplets, as notably by Catullus and Propertius. ======= love poetry is traditionally composed in elegiac couplet. It consists of two paired lines of primarily dactylic () meter: the first line, which contains six feet, is a hexameter line; the second, which contains five feet, is a pentameter. ============== So, IS it an elegy? It is 'all Greek to me'! ====== I liked all but the last line. I don't understand it. I'll certainly consider it for June's showcase, if not sooner. Please remind me. Thanks, Bri :)

This is only the first one of yours that I've read, and I love it already! I don't know how you can do any better when you're already at Level 6, but I'm going to assign this one a 10. Very well written!
