Still Life
by Joan Jotz (Age: 54)
copyright 04-22-2004


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
Cicada tunes embalm the air;
Mauve and yellow star flowers
Drip from twisted vines,
Sustaining the heavy sweetness
Of a honeysuckle 'morn.

Zephyrs trill on fluted chimes;
Sprays of cherry tendrils
Quiver with unexpected preludes,
Embellishing muted, copper tunes
On whirlwind afternoons.

Lilypads waver in sapphire pools;
Mossy banks of fragrant earth
Crouch among stony isles,
Slipping beneath aqueous robes
In translucent twilight.

Midsummer eve embraces fantasy;
Garden faeries spin shadowy dreams,
Enchanting mayflower nocturnes,
Strumming gossamer zithers
Beneath magical moonbeams.

Joan, this sounds like springtime here in south Georgia..at least in my backyard. We have tons of honeysuckle vines on our fenceline and the smell is heavenly.

Good Job Joan. This isi a really good poem especially near the end. In the beginning I had to look up a few words. I was supprissed what the word cicada meant. I think the tittle still life goes well with the poem. Keep up the good work.

A very peaceful poem, very nice. I, too, wonder about the title. As I was reading, I kept thinking the title didn't fit. I'm not sure this makes sense but how about Life, Still.
Probably not...lol.
Anyway, nice poem

Steffie,
Play on words for the title. Not still life as a painting of fruit, but "Still Life" as, always life, all around. Glad you like it!

Allo Joan!
You've done it again! Filled the reader's mind with such beautiful and vibrant images. However Idon't know if the title is appropriate for this piece. Everything seems to be in a sort of gentle motion so I don't really think "Still Life" does anything for it. Aside from that, this a wonderfully magical write!

~Steffie~
