Waves of Words

In Poetry

Amber leaves sway high above,
swatches of honey caught in trees.
A balmy scent of earth and life
surrounds me as I sit beneath.

My pencil scratches, soft and swift,
enscribing words my mind creates.
Serenity surrounds me, calm.
Wind leaves me smiling in its wake.

I drift away on waves of words.

This is a really nice poem that me a sweet serene feel to it. I love your word choice (e.g. amber, swatches and balmy :)) and the imagery you paint for the readers.

My only small critism is the line, "Serenity surrounds me, calm." Compared to all your other flowy lines, this one seemed a tad abrupt and out of place. Maybe use a ; instead of a , or add more after the first segment than just "calm."

Still, really good job and keep writing!

This is such a soothing poem and it really puts me in a relaxation mood. It's short and sweet. I can really picture the images and the scents mentioned in this poem. Reading this poem made me drift away in waves of words. I hope to read more from you!



You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.
