Question: 10 pts! My poem!.!.!.could you share your thoughts!?
Anita's Poem

Sands aroused around,
Drifting in this oasis,
Lost until she's found,
Her allure in my midst!.

Standing here in Arabia,
Scent of a desert rose,
This seductive Cinderella,
A flower that bestows!.

Her perfume fills my air,
Helpless for any rain,
Love hindered I despair,
Thoughts of her strained!.

Her soft petals are bliss,
In a garden we can't see,
This an intoxicating wish,
To give what she needs!.

Slow clouds pass above,
Though no redemption fall,
But to her it's about love,
And she has me enthralled!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It is excellent!.

Throughout you fill the stanzas with a sultry seduction -- from dry sands (lack of love) through the discovery in the Oasis of the wonders and magic of a lover, to the climax where your heart has been captured by her and you are enthralled!.

You have stuck to one format throughout, kept your meter close, and created a visual imagery through which my mind can wander!.

That is the mark of an excellent poet!. Quite possibly, those that don't know how to read poetry are the ones who did not like it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ok!. It's not terrible!. It has some very nice imagery!. It could use an edit , don't take offense!.!.!.I rewrite my work all the time!.
Here is an example!.

Sands aroused abound
drifting about the oasis!.
Lost yet never really gone
Her allure on my mind!.

You get the idea!.!.!.cut some words and substitute others!. Play with the meanings, layer your poems, be somewhat ambiguous!. good luck and I do like your poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
