Dresses of Life

Dresses of Life

A Poem by Sophie
"

Ugh, title suggestions?

"
The Earth
in her dress of folding,
ruffling seas
And velvet grass
And coarse, cottony sand
It swishes and folds
While she
Dances with the sun,
dressed in gold,
and her child
the moon
dressed in a white suit

She smiles at her courtier
He holds her close
emanating warmth.
On her dress
sprouts a rose
To her amazement
while she and her lover spin
The miracle of life appears
growing on her dress
created by the sun's love
As they continue to twirl
in their endless
dance
Life forms on her dress

I love how you personify the Earth, and I love your use of language. The dance between the courtier and the Earth creating life is just wonderfully described. Very unique.

Once again you have a way with personification and imagery. I'm not sure if I like the last line "Life forms on her dress". It's rather passive for Earth and somewhat anticlimactic.

The Endless Dance? I guess, I don't know; with my poems the names just come to me. My first thought for this was The Endless Dance of Life, but that's a bit long. :P The poem is really nice, though. Thank you.
