Words, sounds, and space

Beat #1

Posted on December 3, 2015 By adcitlali

A cloud melted my dreams last month,
before dissolving itself into sound and rainbow.
I wonder why.

    Such an intriguing short crisp poem ~ I like the dissolving itself into sound and rainbow.

        Hahaha! I thought that something special was going to happen soon at dVerse, and that you were giving a heads up… Anyway, on second thoughts, there is something special each time at the poets pub.

    Just lovely, Adriana. Sometimes it is the short poems that leave the strongest impression. A cloud melting into sound and rainbow – love it!

    Brevity worn as bravery; you ain’t afraid of shortness. I enjoyed the piece, & yes, you accomplished the synesthesia as well.

    The first line is absolutely stunning… and it build itself so well into that last line… in brevity it says it all…

    A beautiful synesthesia image of a cloud melting a dream. Nature often leaves us wondering…

    Smiles.. November
    clouds are clouds
    of past that
    melt dreams
    for me
    until
    Spring Sun
    comes again..
    somehow i erased
    the clouds from the
    sky.. decades practice..:)

      I used to love clouds when I was living in Mexico City… Sunny days, year long spring temperature, white puffy clouds. I am not sure I love them in Norway –might need to borrow your eraser.

    I love short poems. As a reader, they turn on my imagination because there’s so much room to apply the poet’s image to my own experience. Wonderful. I think this one could even be shorter, maybe without the last line, leaving just the image? 🙂 But wonderful regardless.

    Beautiful image – and as brief as rainbows often are. Bravo on the brevity as well!

    Sharp and short, and lingering with unanswered questions. Nice.
