Poems - Scansion
| | Scansionby anna9
Methodical strokes and crescent moons
turned whimsical, until
the rhythm got to her,
her eyes scanned the drifters
from the light on the page
to darker spots ,
searching shadows that seemed fluid
as they flowed back into
she waited to hear, the swish
of cloth or stride of boot
a certain tangible,
she would cut loose with a slash
or crescent with a sliver
of hope, unstressed enough .

You could change the first "her" into a name. It would give the poem another level too. This poem is a perfectly written scansion mainly because of the words used within. I'm so glad you wrote it.

A very attractive piece, Anna; beautiful, in a quiet, strange way.

Images in this poem are very intriguing, and I am curious about the interpretation of scansion. Can you tell me more? Warmly, Tasha

Hmm, an intriguing metaphor (if I'm understanding this correctly). This poem has a magic to it.

Ann, I get feelings of a shadow play upon reads here, though with the crisp of moon and it's sharpness telling it's story too. (jmho)
I love your use of light, balance and sound...a tincture.
keep penning,
andYe
