English 11A: What do you think is love?

Delicate as a soft feather,
silvery dew of of the moon's tears
caressed by the light wind,
floating ever so delicately 
silently upon the moon-lit night.
It lands,
blossoming into a rose, 
and bringing all of heaven's warmth,
                                                       to one,
                                                         the rose swiftly turns 
                                                              into the silvery feather
                                                                   and blows away.
                               away
                                                away
                                                                           away.
Look! How the feather
flutters and floats,
swinging and laughing and flying
effortlessly as its previous whole.
Look! How the silver sheen


 changes
to orange as the setting sun,
to beauty, to grace, to allure
of pearls and blossoms
where all are seen as equals
to forever and eternity.
So sweetly it flies,
it brushes upon the world,
to blossom,
         bringing color,
                bringing joy,
                       bringing life, vitality, sweetness,


that dewy and rich sweetness of life,

to the world.

  1. I'd say that your poem is filled with descriptive words. It casts a "heaven like" imagery into a reader's eyes which is good. Good job :)

  3. I liked the way you employed imagery to a subject that's hard to describe with words. This poem is really deep and it really gets the reader thinking about what love truly is.

  6. This verges on being like concrete poetry as it looks almost collage-like. I enjoyed seeing you play with arrangement of word and repetition. This was done effectively. Continue to write reflectively and creatively like this as it makes for interesting reading
