On Naked Branch

Missing image
She is breath of hush in Autumn meadow,

this cooler wind of clammy morning
spinning hollow inspiration
for what is dew in season ending.

I have felt in skin,
bones too lonely,

knowing love, so close to freezing,

when youthful dream, is blowing yellow
in slivered hopelessness, to wither,

clinging fast, on naked branch.

    A real beauty. The phrasing and rhythm are, as usual, gorgeous and evocative, but what i like most about this particular piece are those two lines:
    I have felt skin,
    bones too lonely

    I like them for two reasons, for one they are such a unique way to describe your recognition and interaction with loneliness. But I also like how the are separated not only into their own stanza, but they are a break in the normal rhythm, even further emphasizing their significance and beauty.

    You have done some other wonderful things including some internal rhyming and exquisite emotive description. Love it as usual!!!!

    I know the feeling of lonely bones too well, my Friend. The branch is only naked through the winter, Sweetie. Spring always comes again, bearing vividly colorful clothes. Beautifully done, Scribe. Good luck in the contest. Wanda
