Amoureuse

Oh, so beautiful.

These lines:

'brimful with liquid silver'

and

'I can hear the stars sing'

Just perfect.

Lovely to see a shorter poem from you, Tina! This one is absolutely beautiful - and I agree with Jen, that last line is just superb! Well done on the cherry ;)

This is so beautiful and visual, you found a touch of warmth, that I felt in your words, lovely! x

Thank you, Magic;-) Glad you noticed. Small is beautiful, or so I used to tell my daughter.

Pleased that you enjoyed.

Can't find the words
but agree with all, the beautiful
and very very deep,with excellent
words and beauty portrayed.
Well deserved.Cherry!
Arms above her head
she lies, like branches
of a cherry tree,
heavy with blossom.

Hi again, Julie.

You are right. 'Amour' means love and 'amoureuse' simply means 'in love'.

Tina xx

Hi Tina,

As others before me have said, this poem is truly beautiful. I can't pick a favourite or exceptional line because every line, every stanza, is exceptional.

A tree full of cherries would not suffice.

I agree. I don't think there's much to add. The second stanza is my favourite (capturing a hugeness of a moment in so few words, the way great poetry ought to) but it's a tough choice. Rob

I really appreciate your lovely comment, David. Thank you;-)

We have a cherry tree in our garden, but the birds always get them before I do, unfortunately.

Rob - thanks so very much. Glad you enjoyed and I really appreciate your kind comment.

Tina

Tina, you don't need a Muse: you are the Muse of poetry. Another enchanting poem that emphasises your talent.

Luigi - how kind you are;-) Thank you - so very much.

Hope you have a peaceful weekend.

This is lovely, Tina, your work has a wonderful purity and clarity about it and the meaning deepens over time...reminds me of some of the poems of Carol Ann Duffy's book Rapture, which I loved x

James - thank you for reading and taking the trouble to comment so favourably. Carol Ann Duffy I really admire but I haven't yet dipped into Rapture, which I must certainly rectify.

Tina;-)x

Hear the stars sing! Ah Tina thats in love surely! I like lots to this poem, for once one part I dont think is right: Tangled sheets bind my feet but I am a willing prisoner, still just dont change it :) xx

Kahdai - thank you for reading and for your thoughts.
It is always interesting to hear what people think about the things that we write and I greatly value your words.

Have a good week;-)

Tina xxx

Wow thanks ^^ xx

Sorry I'm so late Tina! This is stunning, such a beautiful love poem with amazing images. I love the idea of the stars singing outside! ( wish I had though of that one ;) )

Beeme xx

Many thanks, Beeme...glad you enjoyed.
