Harmony with Nature
by Victoria Tarrani
(c) 0906.20

Last night I slept beneath the trees
in a dark and fearsome forrest;
taunted by nightmares of strange sounds,
eyes staring, fur in my face like
rabbit's wear to shield them from the cold.
Afraid, I drifted in sleep's maze.
Taxus foliage kept me dry
until the sun, straight overhead,
revived a rested me. The signs were
everywhere. Nature protected me.

I never give thumbs down. I appreciate your time in reading and responding to my work. You will always get a thumbs up from me!
The original poem is in my starred questions. Here is the link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgeMfIWicgxvoAbpjjX9HgHty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090620000400AAK3OPK&show=7#profile-info-HFDndzxOaa
If that doesn't work, you'll see a question about LITERATURE – it had to be part of nature.

I realy like how your verse flowed together and was so structuraly sound you have grown much in skill. I just wish your ending was a little better after such a deep and beautifull poem. I'd make the last two lines a little further along explaining why nature spared and protected you and leaves so many behind.

    The signs were everywhere;
    So that is why you put on a hat.
    And wear sunglasses to hide your "panda eyes'
    I believed you need a better rest.
    RIP

    Hi Tori -

    Please Forgive my Ignorance, (PFI)…But, May I have the Actual Question (AQ), or is this Yet To Come YTC) ?

    {{**I'm quite intrigued**}}<—– This is my actual answer…..

    As I said to you before, Poetry Both Lulls me and Confuses me. Sometimes, however, I get it and it will hit a nerve!

    I WAS having fun in the first sentence so, please don't take it as an insult..I figure, you are my Grasshopper to poetry.

    Take Care!! Lillsoma

    Whew — I'm glad WIP and DAQ were explained, especially after your scifaiku. I loved that. I'll read it again.

    A typo: forest has just one r.
    Good word — taxus. Julius would like that one.

    It is really a good poem, but I'm still jazzed by your scientific haiku, so it's hard to settle and enjoy the peaceful scene. Sorry, it just didn't grab me. gg

    This is an acrostic poem using LITERATURE. You did it very well and kept to the nature theme as well as using some interesting word pictures and imaginative ideas. The words said more than the value of the words said separately. Definite thumbs up.

    Impressive! That must have taken some thought and effort. I hope it was good mental exercise for you. Had you not included that link it wouldn't have crossed my mind that you used "literature." Good job! Keep up the good work! :o )
