Poetry
sun dance
By dougle
15 January 2006

this is still a  work in progress and its not fully written (it should be longer), but im quite pleased with it and i rarely actual try to rhyme in my poems, tell me what you think.

oh and any ideas for a decent title?


In your raven hair a blossom shows

A perfect pink flower, and time slows

 

The suns stops in the sky to watch you dance

Its golden gaze seeming to take the chance

 

A perfect flower against your perfect beauty

To dance would seem your perfect duty

 

To spin and twirl, to step and weave

And all the while the sun won't leave

Simple, yet elegant

1. Try your darndest to keep the number of syllables the same. The first and third couplets are a little awkward in this way. 
 
2. Make sure, as you keep writing, you say something new with each couplet. I get the feeling you're in danger of almost simply repeating the same phrases in each - i.e., "a perfect flower" (lines 2 and 5). 
 
3. Alliteration! You're on target with it - "perfect pink", "golden gaze", "sun stops". Well done. The rhyming is good. 
 
oh, and I adore the simplciity of it.
