Poetry
Suburban Paradise
By Jakkstarr

My first work, which I wrote just blissfully idling away the time, thinking about my house, imagining it as a peaceful place in a busy city.

As of any of my works, I welcome comments. Hope you like it!



Sitting aloft on a winding road, below a hill of evergreen
        A weathered home of long-lost tome, known only few and far between
Cerulean sky with clouds on high to set a silver lining scene
        Out front a rosy jubilee to contrast garden brown and green
Out back a row of tulips show – an oil painting; pink and cream
        To round a shed of rusty red and a house of long forgotten dreams

Cerulean!

What a word to weave, seemingly effortlessly and seamlessly, into a poem! 
 
I confess, I had to look it up. . . 
 
Anyway, love the poem! 
 
With your talent for rhythm and rhyme, I think you could do those complicated fiendish-form things, like 'villanelle', 'paradelle' 'rondeau' etc - see the work of Brett and NathanRoberts for examples - good discipline and good fun and great work! 
 
Keep 'em coming!

I liked the gentle rhythm of this. I think you achieved what you set out to do.
