Jack Skellington [E] A cinquain poem for the 13 Poetic Days of Halloween. Day 4 |
Happy Earth Day Qpdoll! I enjoy the acrostic form and was happy to find this on the Nature Genre page! The display on the page is pleasing and the blue font reminds me of spring skies, rain and flowing rivers! The bold first letters blend well without distraction. The poem was pleasant to read aloud with its effective soundscape created with assonance, consonance and alliterative bits like "ideal for immersing" and "glades with glimmering"! The images are vbirant and carry the essence of spring in the garden. While I thought it might be more vivid to mention specific "flowering plants " that the air was filled with, in keeping with a general theme of any garden, non specific nouns work. The word "beautiful" is less descriptive but the alliteration in the line adds to the flow. I enjoyed how in both verses you speak of the natural world and then its effect on the human spirit. I especially like the D and E lines notion and the last line speaks to the new beginnings of spring. It fits the bursting new life in all of us at this time of year. Thanks for sharing your vivid vision of spring with an appreciative tone that honours the earth and nature. Light on the path as you write on! eyestar "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group"
