Powerful and intense imagery! I am in love with this: "life's bitter red wine," "Sacrifices itself in the silver truth/Mirroring my clouded eyes," and "metallic tinge of bittersweet memories." It is all so beautiful. I love the dance motif; it makes the poem flow even better than it already does. The rhythm of the poem is brilliant - I feel as if my feet were already dancing and my ears are straining to hear those elusive notes of music. Absolutely gorgeous.

well that was really nice ;) i liked it.

Great imagery, very magical (to my mind anyway) what with the silver and the mirrors (I'm a wiccan).

This is pretty short, but it's projected so many images and meanings in my mind... ::thinks:: Where to start... Most of all, it reminds me of a thing that we all love so much, but hate it to death. It doesn't make sense, even in our own minds, which is why it's so hard to convey. I love your writing, and always will. Of course, if you do decide to stop writing, I will be terribly sad. You're an incredible writer, and I don't think you should stop. This piece does convey such emotions; I want to go away because it's safer there, but I like the danger I get when being here. It's all too familiar, and I like it that way. Gah, I'm not making any sense!

very nice, never really was big on dancing, but it must be fun, reminds of cinderella kinda dancing, and thats always a somewhat pleasant though, but anywayz, good poem, tasting dance? that's different but with this i could do it, fairly good flow, muchly nice

wonderful, excellent imagery there. keep writing!

Whoa, what's with the defense there? Tone it down my friend! We love you!
I love this poem as usual. The imagery was rich- I love how the whole poem gets this dark gold sort of tone in my eyes, because you only give me goldish colors to think about- light and fire and bronze, and a touch of red wine.
The flow was very free and I loved it.
m~* Sunflower, anyone?

dont put yourself down at the end of it. i was impressed with the imagery of your poem, and the dancing metaphors worked beautifully

its been a long time since i last read ur poetry but i see that ur still as good as ever!

Pales in comparison to your other works.. but I like the subject. I'm feeling awful down now. And am in absolutely no mood to do anything but cry.
I'll miss you if you really go honey!

It's pretty kewl, it's a bit classic, but I still like it! And you're not dumb and stupid! Look at the poetry you've written! So stay on fp please! I like your poetry! Sunrise

I've never really understood people who say they're "going away and never coming back". (I'm not trying to sound rude here.) I mean, if you need to take a break from writing, do so...*shrugs* dunno why you would "leave". Anyways, you're one of my favorite authors on this site, and so I hope you don't leave. =D So, about the poem...two things really stuck out to me were the bronze colored floor part and the part about the metallic taste. I'm not sure why, they just did...very good overall. =D

I like this, it's a very sensible poem . Good work

-sighs- Always such talent deary! -lol- I do beleive your speaking of writing, and even though you had left it for a while your trying to get back into the flow of it. Its what writing means to you... Am I getting anywhere? -smile-

:( dont leave!! ill miss you!
I liek it... great imagery!
