Evening Flight Comments

Rating: 5.0

The lemon lady fingers of the sun
Lay ribbons of pale mercy on the cold.
Silk birds like kites lift dreams as high as smoke.
The music of the moment lives on hope.

I see the art of Monet in this poem, Sandra and hear Vaughan Williams 'Lark Ascending'. The subtlety of of colour, the softness of the brush the eloquence of the orchestration. You offer the reader melancholy and hope in equal measure - beautifully balanced poem. love, Allie xxxx

Sandra, I read one of the top love poems on the Poemhunter face page and feel this poem touches me more and takes me deeper in understanding than the lines of Naruda or whoever I was reading. P.O.E.T. Bill Grace

This is one poem that enables the reader to let their minds fly and soar, interpreting it as they will - I love the way it is both complex and simple and demands more than one read to fully absorb the richness of the imagery created. Warmest wishes, Justine.

Blending an abstract with a concrete is a difficult job, which an artist only can do perfectly with his or her high sense of imagination. The lemon = yellow; lady fingers = green; rays of the sun = white, which is a comination of blue, indigo, blue, green, yellow and orange-vibgyor) Kites = brown with white neck, smoke = black' Gray roof - gray; snow flakes = pure white This way all colors are blended to form one kind of a dream. This dream, In reality my imagination here goes to find that a group of white doves fly high in the evening below the the darkest black cloudy sky, carrying olive branches in their mouths to deliver the message of peace through out the length and breadth of the world. This is what the need of the hour in fact. As an expert poetess of words what do you mean or find, it is for you to explain us in your own words.

I can sum up my reaction to this one in one word 'impressionistic'. Your poetry always reminds me of paintings, your images for vivid colours with looming shadows in every piece. I had a nice flight with this one. Love, Susie.

Oh Sandra, what can I say? The westward slope, silk birds like kites... most of all 'Your shadow hand ... trembling wings' - this is a winter poem, a religious poem, so serene, ... just magnificent. I'm just in awe. Thank you so very much for letting me know it was here.
