I Am

For Contest

I am a woman strong and gentle within depths of my soul

I wonder...will i be lonesome for someone to stroll?

I hear lonely whispers in the wind of the night

I see shadows hiding behind the veil of moonlight

I want to be a drummer...not beneath a drummers roll

I am a woman strong and gentle within depths of my soul~

I pretend i do not hurt when my heart is teased

I feel alive within the whispers of the breeze

I touch with my heart...pain and hurt i have tasted 

I worry that my love and passion will be wasted

I cry that someday age and time will take its toll

I am a woman strong and gentle within depths of my soul~

I understand that love must flow freely like the tides

I say let the waves of my feelings be my guide

I dream love and light will shine from within me

I try to make strength and courage the key

I hope someday i find a peace within and feel whole

I am a woman strong and gentle within depths of my soul~

Hi Rose. This is a beautiful write about how you see yourself. Heartfelt and introspective. Elegant verse. I also like the form and rhyme which is superbly done. Lovely presentation. Imagery and descriptives are good. Flow is good; line to line transition and breaks are well done. Very nice rhythm and use of enjambment. Rhyme is good as is the rhyme scheme. A nice mix of near perfect feminine and masculine end line rhyme that is executed well in this piece. Lovely depth of feeling. Good word choice as is the use of repetition foe emphasis of a strong, caring woman. Well penned and a most enjoyable read. Write on!

[SyberRose]

Thank you so much for that lovely review...we had to begin with the first two words of each sentence for the contest...glad you enjoyed Shelley...:)

[ShelleyA]
