this haunting whisper
in the depth
of the night,
shadows cast on moonlight,
a veil on its face,
i pine away
for the unknown lover
lurking in the darkness

like the idea in this...but it seems to be lacking something...I read it and read it again. Then starting rewriting it in my head to be free verse...and realized that was a bit presumptious of me. Anyway.... it says you encourage critigues.. and mine is that this fall flat in part because it is a bit disjointed in image and the images used don't really grab the reader...

I do like the idea...

hope I haven't offended...

(chuckling) SO you gonna watch my lines as well huh.... well I can take it too so bring it on... I may or may not follow any advice given, but I'm always up for a listen.. LMAO

I'll be looking forward to see what you do with this.... I think I understand well enough what you are saying... but now make me want to listen... why should I listen, show me something new.... show me a twist on these images I haven't seen before... tell me how it was/is in Brooklyn if nothing else.

There is an older one of mine I reposted over in Sanctuary... go tear it up girl!

inkedgoddess -

this haunting whisper
in the depth
of the night,
shadows cast on moonlight,
a veil on its face,
i pine away
for the unknown lover
lurking in the darkness

'whispers of breath
tender in evening,
sillouttes dancing in moonbeams
not veiled but shadowed,
thoughts of desire
for lover's touch,
out of the night's mist...'

I like this poem a great deal, right up to the last line with the word ~lurking~, for that conjures up all kinds of negative images from a vampire, to other evil-minded creatures of the night, jumping out of the bushes.

Lurking is not romantic like the rest of the poem. I am a novice so don't bother to hunt down my poetry....I am in progress and appreciate all critiques if a reason and how-to is included....especially from a pro like Ron.

Hugs and warm regards...Pat

PS  I shudder to think what I would write were I to have a little alcohol first.. of course, it could be my best poetry yet!  At least humorous, for sure

(smiling) the e-mailed version was better... but this one has something more in it for you than what you sent me. I was waiting in large part to see if you were satisfied with it yourself.
  While I often re-write others poems in my head as I read them, I try not to do so where anyone else can see what I do to them.
I'm too opinionated or too fixed in my own 'voice" anything I comment too specifically on I have to watch or I find I end up writing it as if it was me, not the original writer speaking...

Now... I knew you were jerking my chain... but know I never mean to offend with a comment on a poem. We all write as we see things and as they are processed in our heads or hearts. I do not make light of that in anyone...
