I'm new here, and new in poetry and writing, too. Critiques and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Come Earlier Next Morning
Six-thirty in the morning
A wooden cabin asleep. Alone
I walk to Yellow Stone Lake
Along a trodden path in the fields
Where everything is calm, quiet
A broken tree trunk ashore
Half buried in the sand
I climb on it and sit
A golden pika scurries away
Under my dangling bare feet
Wild ducks swim with waves
Rising and falling. Not far
A man is fishing, carefree and content
The rippling water glistens
With the first sunshine
In the distance, the mountain range
Dimly visible in the morning mist
The sun, not waiting for me
One pole high already
I regret missing his leaping
From the horizon, his splendor, majesty
The lake water incessantly laps
Against the shore with soft sound
As if singing, come earlier next morning
My book lies forgotten in my hand |

Hi Lake.
Welcome.
This is more like prose. I think you could trim some and focus on one major point.
There are a lot of vivid and beautiful images... _________________

Good question, 不清. One thing I konw for sure is that their forms are different--poems are in stanzas, proses in paragraphs. Of course there are other differences. Let's wait for other people's opinions. |

This is the first response I received from this forum, much appreciated, 星子.
1 It does sound like a prose, doesn't it? Actually, I did condense it once before, but the comment I got is that the original is better than the condensed.
2 Hum, "focus on one major point"... I did get lost in the beauty of the nature. Maybe the "wilderness" in Gary Snyder's poems influenced me, but I think there is some idea in it.
Thanks for reading and commenting. |

Lake, I also have the habit of revising my work over and over again, and people usually tell me the original version is better! I guess we should be very careful not to lose the initial "mood" we were to create. By the way, do you do any Chinese poetry? Later,

I believe poetry is more concise or more imaginable...
not too telling , more room to think or feel.
For this one, I like the natural scene, and what it reminds of you... _________________

不清, Thanks for your advice.
我会写什么诗啊。My Chinese sucks (learned the word from my daughter), so doe my English. 刚起步,还不知走不走得下去呢。不过,很幸运,有两位好老师。
Cheers,
Lake |
