Another one of my "I don't like this but I'm not sure what's wrong with it," poems. Please give comments I like the idea behind it, it just seems to be missing something...ahh I don't know hence I'm asking you! It's a little long, Lo siento.

Softly as a doe grazing
In the morning dew
Softly as the rain falls
In dizzying bluish hues

Softly as the panther
Stalks up to its prey
Softly as the sun rises
To start another day

Softly as a man’s touch
Caressing the woman he loves
Softly as the evening song
Of two snowy doves

Softly as the mother
Sings her child a lullaby
Softly as the golden flake
Deep within the bunny’s eye

Softly as a lady’s hand
Sewing the young lords vest
Softly as a puppy
Makes his bed to rest

Softly as you lie there
Emitting not a sigh
Softly they roll down my cheek
These silent tears I cry

Softly you have left me
With the memory of your warm embrace
Tonight you have gone away
With a soft smile upon your face


People always ask me why I don't look toward my future I tell them to many interesting things are happening today.
~Bella~

Firstly, this is an excelent write, although you are right there is something slightly off centre about it...
However it's not the length, it has a nice flow which doesn't make it seem as long as it appears and which doesn't make it a chore to read...
The imagery and ideas in it are nice and well executed...
It may be that it starts and ends in much the same place.  You may consider a slight modulation or variation on the theme or structure.  Think of the ever popular A B A verse system, although this could throw the flow off making it a considerable length...

But all that said it was a good write and there is deffinately nothing glaringly hideous about it.

Good Accomplishment.
