Love's Light
A Choka Poem-for the club challenge18 total reviews
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is an interesting example of this style of poetry. I read it over several times, and without punctuation, it is a little hard to follow. Maybe the rules say you can't use or don't need punctuation to get the many thoughts across...I don't know. The choice of the descriptive words sounds charming, and she seems like a lovely woman. I like how the poem ends with the title of the piece. It ties it up in a neat little package that way. I'd say that the last line is my favorite line.
Thank you for trying a new poetry style...I appreciate the effort you put into it.
Have a wonderful day, my friend,
Jesse

Thank you Jesse, I am learning about punctuation-but worry I don't quite understand-when, where, or why it should be implemented, I am trying to find an app that may help me, as always very much appreciated****kahpot

That would be a great idea to find an app to help you with punctuation.
Have a good day, my friend,

I really enjoyed your interpretation of this artwork for the club challenge! It was lyrical, mystical and magical. The scarlet ibis nesting contentedly highlighted the peace and serenity of the pond.

Kahpot,
This is an excellent choka poem.
The syllable count is correct, and the words you use:moonlight, bliss, innocence give nice imagery to your work.
Excellent poem.

This is an ekphrastic Choka that describes the picture very well. Your explanation adds depth, and I like the way you have drawn a parallel between the rising nymph and the ibis on her shoulder.

Excellent poem my dear. It feels dreamy in the beauty of the words chosen. There is an intimate feel to this companionship which makes it even more appealing. The imagery is simply outstanding. Nature enhances this serenade, step by step.
Well done!
Cheers,
DJ

I think I remember a similar poem for your club. I actually like this version better and feel like it coordinates with the picture better. It presents a nice visual image. Nice work.

Thank you very much, yes sometimes the club supplies the image, so ideas may clash, but it is fun learning different forms, your comments are very much appreciated****kahpot
Comment from lyenochka
Loved the feeling that your poem gives me from the fantasy-mystical ethereal scenery to a very concrete feeling about the companionship that that leads to a tangible contentment with love's light.
I'm always such a literalist when it comes to Nature so here are some comments and you can change or disregard. There are also some spags for you to consider:
beneath green lillies (lilies) - actually these are lotus leaves but I like the idea of green lilies
hiding beyond moonlights gaze (moonlight's)
aluminates freedoms bliss (illuminates freedom's)
red heron nestles (scarlet ibis) I mentioned this to Gypsy that the bird is a scarlet ibis as a heron's beak is straight and I don't think there are any red ones. There are reddish egrets. But this is up to you. It could be a fantasy bird.
