Who wrote this poem? What do you think of it?

"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.

Who wrote this poem? What do you think of it?
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?
Reply:I like the poem, though it could be cut down alittle, it seems to loose the interest as you go along.
Reply: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.
Reply:I don`t know who has written this poem, but the poem is boring.
Reply:Gawddddddddddddddddddddd. I HATE poetry. It is a waste of letters and space. Its like blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda. The End...................
