Crowning Glory The golden haze of a summers crown burns across the sky. The horizon merges like pastels on paper as the day begins to die. The hues of the palette lose depth of colour as the day turns out its light. The moon glistens, jewel-like as life takes on the intensity of the night. Stillness is punctuated with the shriek of the dark. The witching hour passes when, suddenly, a chorus reaches out and the daylight engulfs the sky.
Diana Todd's Questions:
I wonder if the final stanza of this poem loses something from the first
two, does it seem almost detached from the first two? The first two stanza's
mention colour, should that have been taken down to the final stanza?
I never feel like it is complete for some reason, can anyone help me
understand why, perhaps?
Silently Suspended (for T.) The other half of myself is suspended within me. He is silent, while I weep, omnipresent but forever lost. When he went he took half of me. now our souls wander, looking, never finding what is sought. Cries in to the darkness only heard by him. He is there but not there, forever there but eternally lost. I can sense him within me and yearn to touch him. He is part of my life, never forgotten. He is me and I am him, always inter-linked. Ever part of the same whole, together, forever and silently suspended.
Diana Todd's Questions:
Does this piece convey what is is meant to be about?
Is the title the right one do you think?
Does it ramble at all?
Is the ending adequate?
