Sagrada

Dawn
blistering through a sunrise,

an infant's hand
wrapped around my finger,

knowing and agreeing
on shared truths, or a passionate cause;

these things generate awe
and cherishable natures.

Treasure
all things...magic,

to better understand our own mortality,
and appreciate the singularity of you.

Dawn blistering through a

Dawn blistering through a sunrise This is a real grabber for me ; ) Its all great but the last stanza is apeals to me as well, constructive feedback, maybe lose the ''a'' from the second line of the first stanza. I think this makes the impact more powerful, although i do like using ''a'' in my lines to. thanks for sharing vicki

Thank-you, Vicki....

...for the feedback. I took out ALL of the "a's" in the poem...(even though I've ALWAYS been known as an "a" man)..and I think you were right. It seems to read easier,now. Don't you think? Anyway, thanks again. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.

You see, Madame....

...I just didn't wanna come across as some kinda, "hoe" for "a's". There are plenty of "a"-hoes out there, and I wanted not.....to be considered as one. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.

Oh, mate.

You know I love your freeform more than your rhyming works. You also know I have a bee in my bonnet, a whole bloody hive, about didactic or inspirational poetry. Once I see second person objective in a poem I get ready to blow my stack and say things like "leave that crap to Hallmark, that's their job, not a poets" Now, having had my obligatory rant, some possibly useful crit and a different way to end it. First two verses, great. knowing and agreeing on shared truths, or[and?] charitable causes; [charitable sounds a bit pious, how about passionate?] these things generate awe and cherishable natures. [fine] [I] Treasure all things…”magic”, [lose the quotation marks. They look messy and magic is real] to better understand [my] own mortality and appreciate the singularity of you. Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible
