Night Fall! Comments

This Poem of Desire thoroughly traces a relationship that stops short of complete fulfllment but still conveys the wonder and excitement of our emotional lives. Your poet's instinct was right in setting this poem after NIGHT FALL in a nocturnal world. So many great poems have been written about this nocturnal world in which we live a larger life than daytime reality There's magic in the NIGHT and magic in the POETRY but it's a natural magic of heightened emotions, not supernatural events. The atmosphere of your poem enveloped me and I was a believer in the natural magic of desire and love for the poem's duration.

Usually I have a habit of looking at the length of the poem before starting to read. If I get the feeling, Oh, its too long, I skip it. So far, I could not stick to that with your poems ET. There must be something in it. Well, I too enjoyed yours. Thank you for sharing. x

When I read you I always feel like I am reading some poetry of Wordsworth and Coelridge era. Have yor come across these lines of Coleridge in 'The Nightingale'; 'In wood and thicket, over the wide grove, They answer and provoke each other's songs With skirmish and cepricious passagings And murmurs musical and swft jug jug And one low piping sound more sweeter than all - - What time the moon was lost behind a cloud, Hath heard a pause of silence; till the moon Emerging, hath awakened earth and sky with one sensation, and those wakeful birds have all burst forth in choral minstresly, As if some sudden gale had swept at once a hundred airy harps! ' Likewise, I enjoy yours as well.
