Colored landscape fair,

Elven dwellers,—fairies too,

Rainbow's magic lamp,

Assembled puzzle with love,

Streaming light onto the soul.

Very beautiful and hopeful. Even in the most horrid situations, there's always that tiny shred of hope.

This is absolutely beautiful, and you're right about not giving up hope.

First off, I want to thank you for the lovely review. It always warms my heart to get feedback on my stuff.

Second, I always stop by and review those who review me, so here I am, suitably impressed by your work. This is an excellent message of hope in a poem, and the imagery is very well-crafted. The way its written is very beautiful...that isn't really the word; I think perhaps haunting is what I'm looking for. In any case, a brilliant poem, keep it coming!

great insight and such beauty in the second stanza. your writing is fantastic!

awesome work. i love it.

whoa whoa whoa! That was really awesome! Short yet very sweet... you have written a poetic masterpiece in just two stanza's. It is really cool, the imagery is awesome, the word choice is stellar, and you just rocked my face off with this one!

write on!

(sorry I haven't been online much lately... had a bunch of reports and stuff...*sigh*)

*eyes go wide*

So...beautiful...

Interesting use of imagery to get the idea across. Not a bad effort.

oh, this is hauntingly beautiful, i absolutely love it. great set up and rebuttal, great move with the transition line "but tell me -" it led into the next stanza very nicely. i love the lines "bottle shards on the sidewalk" in the first stanza, and the final couplet "the glowing stains together/the archangel's visage make?" blew me away, 'twas GORGEOUS. amazing piece of poetry, kudos chica! :)
