 Vavae 2008-01-04 . chapter 1Much of what I read filters through my mind in greyscale and two dimensions only. "Shadowdancer" leapt off the screen, spread ethereal wings made of the dancing breeze, and came to vibrant life in full color and all dimensions. Within this poem is contained the classic struggle of light versus dark, the timeless plight of all who desire what they cannot receive, and the wisdom that comes with age's maturity -- all encased in cinematic and sensory figurative language. I usually avoid reading free verse because too few can use it correctly and so many mangle it because they cannot rhyme, but you have reinstated my faith in this poetic format. Thank you for this exquisite contribution to the world of fan fiction, and please continue penning pleasurable poetry. |
