In gossamer shrouded silence
Amidst dew decked brilliance
Remedial peace abides
Within the evergreen walls
Resting upon the mossy bench
In gossamer shrouded silence
Amidst dew decked brilliance
Remedial peace abides
Within the evergreen walls
In gossamer shrouded silence
Amidst dew decked brilliance
Remedial peace abides
Within the evergreen walls

Yes, very very nice, but I see you've already won as well. There's peacefulness in your words that neatly matches the background you've chosen
-
Very Pretty.
I'm so happy to see you won the gold trophy.

short
it is kind of short but it is still a poem. i write longer poems normally because it just feels to weird to leave people hanging but this is your thing -
This is a delightful expression of your love of nature! You perfectly capture the serenity of an escape into the woods, one of my favorite places!
-
This poem was mindblowing, and I can see how you won gold. I like the part about "Remedial peace abides
Within the evergreen walls." -
Outstanding
I love poetry about the natural world and this poem has a wonderful simplicity about it that is appealing. I enjoyed reading this a lot. You write with an obvious love of nature. Congratulations on the gold trophy.

Epigram
sounds metaphysical in the attitudes towards thoughts, like the psalmists what a good lover of nature (as your poem reflects) you are. keep writing .D.

God's creation is something that always brings me peace, and the solitude described is something often longed for by people.

This is not a Tanka of course, but it generates the tranquility one expects of the Japanese form, declaring and celebrating with quiet serenity a moment with nature.
-
First thing I thought of, your word imagery is brilliant. The background works wonderfully with this, too. How wonderful for you to have the beach and the woods. Congrats on the gold.

I am blessed indeed, the local woods are a few minutes drive, and the sea (well its an estuary but its got beaches) is not far.For me, not being able to escape into nature makes feels like prison.
