Au Lac De Beratan Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Au Lac De Beratan

Rating: 5.0


(dedicated to Ms. Fiona Davidson, a great poet at poemhunter)

over an enchanted lake
graceful notes of Gamelan
move along banks of the soul
you perceives ancient tradition

the wave pulls light out the sky
blends seamlessly with artistry
among hedges of bougainvillea
sensuous curves of stone statues

a sanctuary for your senses
special charm that soothes spirits
the smooth fragrance of Chempaka
sweetness of love in the cool paradise

(inspired by Adrien Jean Le Mayeur De Merpres' paintings)

I agree with Leslie. It takes you to a better place. It was well described. I also liked the crisp wording. No wasting of words. Technically, very good. GW62

Wow, the wave pulls light out of the sea: what an idea! 'the wave pulls light out the sky blends seamlessly with artistry among hedges of bougainvillea sensuous curves of stone statues'. This is very splendid. So poetic and artistic.

You have blanketed Fiona with loving comparisons to the beauty without and within her. You accentuated her uniqueness with delicate contrasts of precious visual delights. Beautiful. A true joy. Yes, to truly share, I shall read her poems. Carol
