When skies painted waters azure - breathing,
When flowers caught lucid fire - scathing,
When my rib cage contracted - in tempo desiderata,
I knew.
I knew -
There was no flash across my pupils,
A painful instance -
My cornea burnt with a finality,
The white blindness,
From looking at the midday sun
Or mountain snow, glaciers - try reading French,
A touch of the clouds, spinning me away
To where brightness amalgamates obscurity.
There was just that - salt.
Salt engraved into my skin, an alien,
And salt aging under the world from its beginning,
Leaving white shifting fingerprints
On the stones
In the air -
Poseidon

Hey, I'm Kirsten and I am here to review. No reviews yet?
Let's change that
I guess we could kind of call this the first stanza, eh? I really liked this. You have good imagery, I can feel the scene, really great description. xDOkay, onto your poem. xD
Wow, I love the imagery.
I love the ending.
Okay.
Flow
I actually liked the flow, I don't think it was perfect, but it was nice. There's probably ways to improve it, but flaws make things better, sometimes flaws improve writing, in this case, they do.
Structure
Perhaps a little different, but good.
imagery
I really loved the imagery in this piece. Beautiful. parfait. I really enjoyed it, and I mean really. xD
Okay, I have to go, I shall come back later perhaps and improve this review, if I remember. Well done.
~Kirsten
