A favorite poem of mine

Life is short
and pleasures few
and holed the ship
and drowned the crew
but o!
but o!
How very blue!
How very blue the sea is.

    If I could stay just one more night I would, / I would watch you as you went through, / All the rituals you hold onto night after night, / Too afraid too change. / I would watch you as you tried to fill up every moment, / So you wouldn’t have to

    Swing with me. / Sway with me. / Feel the summer pounding through us, / Fast now- Quick! / Don’t let it catch you up in its writhing rhythm, / And swish! you away to another summer, another planet / Another place, another partner. / Slow no

  • on Summer by Nienna Colle, on June 6
    Wow, Nienna. Just wow. This is amazing. It definetly works. It paints such a vivid picture in my mind. I can feel the summer coarsing behind this poem. This poem is everything that summer is. I loved
    "burnnnnnnning my nose with its warnings"
    Cause you can feel the burning in your nose and the words bring out the feeling in the way you strectched out burning. I can feel the dew in the "that cool and easy glade...enchanted"
    This is amazing Nienna.
    The only part that breaks the rhymthn a bit is at the end. The last couple of lines break the easy rhymthn a bit. You might want to explore with that a bit and try different wordings or even a different ending. But it's your call. The poem is amazing as it is.
    Amazing job, Nenni.
    Love,
