Question

"Shattered Sunlight"


Shattered sunlight pierces

The silent orchard,

Merrily spreading the dawn

Across velvet gardens,

Wan in the paleness of night,

Until daybreak sings

Into the gales, cheerfully

Bidding adieu to the

Moon as it strides toward its bed

Of daylight, vanishing

Beneath faraway ridges and seas.

Morning Glories ascend

Into the sky, resurrected by the dew,

Unfolding their illustrious

Golden cities to bathe in sunbeams,

While the encircling lilacs

Batter their jewel-like eyes

To the distance, winking

To a golden-haired sun as it mounts

The steps to day.

Answer 1

Don't know who wrote it, but I like it, and I don't often like poems the first time I read them, except limericks and such "light" stuff. But the imagery is powerful; I like it.

Did you write it?

Answer 2

Hmm..not bad. I don't know who wrote it but I'll bet it was the writer of the question! There's some talent there, I think; it evokes some nice mental imagery, but is a tad long-winded, and offers too many different scenes. (Like: is it a silent orchard, or velvet gardens?)
it should be slimmed-down a bit, and should try to stick to one primary image, rather than attempting to embrace so many unrelated ones. The last line was a nice wrap-up though. I give it an 'A' for effort, a 'B-" for coherency.

Answer 3

I like the poem, though it could be cut down alittle, it seems to loose the interest as you go along.

Answer 4

I don`t know who has written this poem, but the poem is boring.
