The Fisher King

Where will he flee to this royal petit....
When the earth is scorched, and the trees are torched.
No rivers or rills and the life that they bring.
Where Naiads languished in watery beds
The once serene home of the Fisher King

Bedight in...

This is Africa

How to describe beauty to one who has not seen?
The veldt afire in the shimmering heat
too richly golden for Egyptian kings.
In the distance lifts a shaggy glowing crown,
rosy palettes as the sun inches down.
This, I think, is Africa.....

Your unfolding story of magnetism and that undefinable feeling that grows between people is beautifully written. Your poem speaks to all the emotions, highs and lows associated love found, love lost and found again.
Beautiful writing!

I reread this poem many times for the imagery the writer created. I walked with the writer in this poem. I loved the cadence of the lines. Along with the unforced use of rhyme.

I read all of the poems, but this is the poem that stuck with me. I read it numerous times. I could imagine all the writer was describing and was drawn in by the first stanza and wanted to know more. Each question drew me further through to the end. It is not sentimental, makes no apologies and asks for no pity. It is raw...memorable. The rhyming and style make sense but do not overtake the poem.

This is my first interaction with the poetry on this site. I read all of the poems. I was truly impressed by the talent I saw in these poems. So much depth of feeling and creativity. I wish I could have voted for more than one as there were may that were deserving of recognition. Thank you all.

I don't see where I can verify that my poem was added to the contest. Is there a specific place to look.
I also can't correct the orientation of my profile picture, any suggestions?
