My eyes now follow Trajectories of shadows. Deep, dark green hollows Beneath the elder, Enhancing the meadowsweet's White feathers And the cascades of jasmine Swimming like stars. - - - - - - - - - - - -Wow.....the lovely word pictures can seduce anybody ! !
Metaphorically enriched piece of hope-giving poem. It's shortly salient. Much kudos to the skilled hand.
Thanks, Chukwuma. I must catch up on your other poems soon. I was delighted by your Autumns Ode.
thank you, Baharak. The garden's a bit bare at the moment. Just waiting for the snowdrops and crocus to start flowering!
Yes, the meadowsweet scents are wonderful when in flower. They grow in profusion round the pond. Sadly I've lost one or two wild flowers this year, such as teasel and corncockle but I shall reseed in the Spring. By the way, I loved your Christmas poem in Dr Fab's book. I picked it out as one of my favourites in the presentation he asked me to do.
Tom Billsborough, Hello. What fun I had reading your poem speaking to the delightful contrasts within our outer world. Dark and light, the beauty of a masterpiece for us to play in our imagination's words. Blessings to you in writing and work. Kathy
I agree, Clarence. Sometimes beyond description and ever changing as the light changes. Tom
You have painted a lovely picture of the entwining shadows left by the paling evening light. The flowers of contrast shades with a dark aura about them must be a lovely sight..... in the glimmer of the twilight evening! Lovely description! Top marks!
The meadowsweet has faded now. Mind you the blackberries have ripened so I'm busy making Crumbles! The shades of green from the different trees and bushes compensate and it's sunnier now, so the evening light is sharper.
I really enjoyed the visuals within your words as I read along each line. Nature is such a wonderful thing. Annette
The meadowsweet have really flourished this year. We have mainly wild flowers. The garden itself is a bit of a jungle. The cat loves it that way and it's a good excuse for lazy old me. I've set Bri off reading your hyrst poem. Brilliant piece. Heard of someone who did just that near me! Tom
Really enjoyable. reading is an experience. Indeed a good piece of work.10 for you.
I'll have a another look at your poems, later today. I'm off out soon but it will be something to look forward to when I get back this afternoon. Tom
I think this would make a great poem of the day! :) Could I have permission to share this on my Facebook poetry blog. I would pair it with a photograph and include a link to your poem on poemhunter. Thanks!
I am seduced by this poem. Like mirrors, I love poems about shadows. Interestingly, this poem is not necessarily about shadows produced by the speaker, but more like shadows produced in nature, that provide the contrast necessary to even more closely observe nature's beauty that harsh sunlight can sometimes obscure. This is often written about by photographers when considering the best time of day to capture the best images. The imagery in your poem is pure beauty as are the words. Just love this one. Thanks!
Don't know what happened there. It shot off in mid reply. I'll just be brief now incase my original reply comes out of the wilderness! Yes, of course you may use it. To sum up. Our garden at the back faces south and despite the numerous trees at the back and down the east side., we get a lot of bright sunshine in the centre and foreground. But it's a relief at evening when the shadows move around changing shapes and colours. White flowers in particular come into their own, meadowsweet being outstanding, quite apart from its scent mingling with the jasmine. You're right about photographers too. Tom
Delightful! I like to visit each of my gardens at different times of the day. At sunset, I sit on the patio and smell the phlox
YES, THE phlox have a fine aroma.. I think white and blue flowers are outstanding in the evening. Meadowsweet reminds me of Vanilla, my favourite Ice Cream Flavour. Whoops must get that Cherry pie you had in your Senyru. Goes well with Ice Cream! ! Tom
