The Vanishing Comments

'Delightful, o'er the radiant fields, and runs To catch the falling glory; but amazed Beholds th' amusive arch before him fly, Then vanish quite away.' - Loved these concluding lines.

the whole poem is full of imagery and metaphoric, such as Moist, bright, and green, the smiling landscape, swelling the woods, warbling brooks, bleatings of the hills, sweeten'd spring zephyr, retracting yon eastern cloud, Bestriding earth, red to the fading violet, twine of light, white mingling maze.....great really; enjoyable also........congrats

The various twine of light, by thee disclosed From the white mingling maze. Not so the boy; He wondering views the bright enchantment bend, Delightful, o'er the radiant fields, .....superb and fantastic poem penned; congrats for being selected this poem as POD......deserves 10++

mona out of view to the boy...

This is such a beautifully expressive poem about a boy experiencing the glories of nature around him. I liked it very much, especially the imagery.

This is a great poem John, thanks for sharing. James.

From the vales! ! With the muse of the light! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

I don't understand. It says the poem is by John Ackerman, but the note seems to suggest otherwise. And why is the poem illustrated in this way? At any rate, it read more like a classic lyric than modern verse. Was it a translation? I am confused. The only John Ackerman I found is a literary critic.

A well crafted piece. Truly excellent...5 stars++
