I am sky...

Passion of heaven and earth, for the fairest of them all...

I am sky

And you are earth...

Let my winds

Caress your face...

Let my warmth

Roll gently over

Your fragrant skin...

My rains

Fill your rivers

And nourish

All your life...

My voice is as thunder

And gentle as the

Song of birds...

And I would

Cover you,

Guard you,

Caress you,

Forever...

Another strong example of sensual imagery. A nice free verse. Although I dare ask... What's with you and elans? ;p My choice of verses, would be the rain and rivers. That is striking in metaphoric value... I hesitate to say just what peaks my liking of it. Anyhoo... In true Canadian form I give this one an "EH"!

This is exactly what I was looking for in the contest! FINALIST!

Lovely!

Gentle and vivid images. I like the feelings evoked in this poem.

[John Stussy]

Wow, the imagery in this blew me away! I've seen people write about the sky before, it's become a drab comparison. But you covered it all rather than a simple aspect, and I think you gave new life to the metaphor. Great job.

I seems like a perfect example of modern Transcendentalist writing.
Intoxicating wording and a seducing calm.

[Tara Jean Olson]

this is enchanting...

[Antonio Valentino]

Great lines throughout like the one below.

"My rains
Fill your rivers
And nourish
All your life."

A wonderful piece Craig!

How beautiful this is to read and reflect on. You manage to show us the life giving elements withut which we would all perish. The bold writing adds to the overall effect of tranquility and bird song. I enjoyed this very much...simple yet passionate, nicely expressed.
Cheers,
Helen :-)))
