Description The summer fruit of her kiss,
blossoms into soft red petals
and deepens the kiss with her thorns.
I prick my tongue and bleed,
showing my devotion to her.

The ripened berries burst,
rouge and orange mingling onto the pallet.
It burns like acid,
fighting for survival.

Those passionate deep lips,
fall and freeze over my skin.
She loses the spring in her step,
and her green fingers hesitates to touch soil.

Back to hibernation,
where her dreams reflect reality.
Time turns back momentarily
and the cycle begins, bringing a new year.

Apologies for the late reply!
This was my first serious piece of writing so that's why I love it. It may not be my best piece but I'm proud of it nonetheless.

You have a wonderful tone in the way you write....
"...Back to hibernation, where her dreams reflect reality..."
Full of figurative devices, metaphors, similes and of course the mentionable amount of wonderfully constructed personification!
If ever I was to grow as a writer, it's you I'd aspire to be. You have a gorgeous style of writing!

Keep this wonderful work up!

Hey, I'm just about to accept this for The Lit. Workshop's gallery ... And just wondering so I know where to put it, do you want this in the Critique Requests folder, or some other folder?

Can you put this poem in for critique, and the other one as a feature, please? I haven't received a lot of critique for this, so I would like to hear a few thoughts.
Thank you very much.

Hey, wow! It's a nature poem that I didn't get bored reading! Your words just seem so carefully chosen, there's a lovely flow about this that is impressive. Also, there's a definite intensity about this that makes it effective.

Thank you once again. Yes, I constantly changed certain parts of the poem because I wasn't feeling confident about it, but now I think that it has turned out quite well.
And thank you very much for the watch! It is much appreciated.

Thank you very much for your comment!
I liked 'Earthen Eyes' and how the last 3 stanzas flowed together so that it built up to the ending. I think the 4th and 5th stanzas will stick in my mind for a good while.

I must say the third stanza is by far my favorite, but the whole thing is just catpivating. Well done

Thank you so much! I appreciate it and I loved 'Rolling Sky' very much!
"There was a spot that held my exact shape
And it provided comfort
That no human being could.
The land hugged me tighter, much tighter,
Than a woman ever did."
Those are my favourite lines even if they made me a bit sad but the imagery is wonderful!
