 Mistress Jakira 2004-05-11 . chapter 1Here it looks to me like barefoot fields symbolize innocence and being like a child. I can see this especially in the fourth verse (which I'll spoil for anyone reading the review before the poem! Bad bad *slaps wrist*):
Barefoot fields float through my dreams
Leaves on icy gusts of fear
Settling over warming meadows
Burning up on limbs of lust
This passage seems to talk about the loss of innocence and transit into adulthood from childhood or a childlike state. Children don't have fear, it has to be taught them; in a way it is sort of like an icy gust. It settles on the warming meadows as it grows into its new stage, and in the coming of adult needs and wants such as lust, the fields are 'burned up'--all the remnants of childhood are lost.
That's just my interpretation. ^_^ I'm finding more and more in your poems...you've gotten so much better at poetry over the years and it's really, REALLY showing now! I love this. ~MJ |
 DIEDELETED 2004-02-03 . chapter 1Barefood fields are eniticing, this poem is great, please keep on writing ^_^ |
 gloriously mad 2004-01-09 . chapter 1Well written, and lovely imagery. The only suggestion I would make is to possibly replace "hypnotizing" in the second stanza with a less Latinate word of similar meaning - the word you use sticks out uncomfortably in the fantastic, dreamy scene you've created. |
 cosmo-queen 2004-01-08 . chapter 1A meaningful poem. It had a good rhythm and flowed well, even if it didn't rhyme. I really liked how the barefoot fields of your dreams eventually faded. Keep writing :)

 Whiro 2003-10-27 . chapter 1Wow it has been awhile since we have both updated huh? Same day in fact. Fighting the block too? Anywho, I just posted a new one! It is kinda lyrical, I dunno what to think and I would really like some input. I liked this poem too btw, it reminded me of running barefoot thru my yard when I was little, it was kinda sad too, and I just.. I dunno. I liked it!

 Cari Iniel 2003-09-03 . chapter 1So beautiful! I like how each stanza begins the same, but offers a different view. The dreamy, surreal imagery is a plus too.
Reminds me of my childhood, and late summer/early autumn. |
