Lady in the Water

elongated shimmers reflect
the water of movement
on her face,

life swirls around
brushing past

unseeing

she stares into liquid pools of light
blinded as a supernova
peeks out from inside

This is gorgeous. Wait'll Weirdelf gets a gander. He'll gush. Vers libre is not my style, so I'm not the best to offer critique, but your language is positively sensual and I had no trouble following the logic. It was easy to be there with you.

... I don't like it when a poet capitalizes the first letter of each line either. As much as I love my archaic words, this is an archaism I can live without.

I dont normally cap my first letter but when i transfered from my notes to here it kept capping lol I will fix it when I get home

Smiles regards Jayne-Chloe

although something like this can cause me to seek a nice cuppa tea and a little lie down [grins]
(((((((((((((hugs))))))))))
great to see you Jayne-Chloe.

Yep, fix them caps and as Kelsey said "great depth and stunning imagery and language use"

Seren

I will have you know I missed you all like crazy ... But I needed a time out

Nothing wrong with a cuppa and a lie down things always look different after a kip smile

Very happy you liked it I have been mulling over a few ideas this is just a moment in time next to a fountain in sydney ;)

(((((((((hugs))))))) thanks for the welcome back

Much love JC x x

Seren

Finally I have come around to follow one

That friend is you …as I have been here …perhaps as long …surfing like mad in the seas of ignorance ….that prevail all around-------to me you appear a poet sound …and brevity in poetry is melodious…. that many ignore ….why be epicurial-------- many writers have gone afore …Now I will read you all the more

Seren

Thank you for your most kind comment I wrote this one ages ago but I really like it myself I don't always like my poems I am too much of a perfectionist, I want to write words that sooth the soul I want to write lines that incite passion, one day I might get the recipe right but until that day I will toil along with my friends on this journey in words

love JC

thank you for going back so far in time I was surprised to see a comment on this one but it was a nice surprise

what your mind does disclose
but be not too epicurial
not many read poetry today
so have solace
in what you say

A lovely short piece with loads of depth,

...life swirls around
brushes past...

really that is the voice in the soul of every poet. whether the poem comes from a particular time or place or person or group of people or from the dreamlife of the author that's all we're really doing: saying our piece while life swirls around brushes past and sadly time. really that thought touches me

Seren

Im so sorry for the late reply. Thank you dear Sir for your very kind comment. Big hugs xxx

Love Jayne xxx
