Cascading

love poem

Cascading 

Cascading wheat bend to barefeet, 

twinkling eyes a starlight treat.. 

A path is made by fading light to find the moon 

to be a pale nightlight. 

Cascading water, music to the soul, 

shoes in hand,  lapping tide, at toes. 

Cascading hair tumbles down,  

and cascading dress hits the ground. 

Sparkers swim by dead of night,  

As emotions cascade, and  lovers unite.

i can feel the water between my toes as i read. lovers engaging in a midnight skinny-dip, caught up in the passion of the moment. the repetitive use of the word cascading is very emotive. nice piece ... :)

[Cherrie Palmer]

… wet sand between toes such a yummy feeling.

[Paul Bell]

Cascading is definitely an underused word me thinks.
Fantastic last line to finish off with.
Got cascading in my mind now.

[Cherrie Palmer]

It's funny but words that have the same meaning can be associated with different emotions.
I think cascading is such a word.

[Paul Bell]

Think you're right.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

This is a wonderful thought from a brilliant mind,
Carefully picking the best words to fill in the gaps,
The lines and rhymes, the rhythm well aligned,
Shows the Incredibility of this writers art.

[Cherrie Palmer]

thank you Kay, for a more than generous review. as far as gaps go, I like letting the reader join in, if the writer connects all the dots it becomes arranged words, but if you can engage the reader it springs to life.
Wish I was better at it, guess I will just keep practicing.

[HadesRising]

Very well written, I like this piece.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you ... :)

[Robert Trakofler]

this is the definition of beauty good god Cherrie what an inspiration of movement motioning affection in my eyes I am awestruck by these loving lines. I want to climb into this painting and swim

[Cherrie Palmer]

Ya know I see poems as a canvas too, a snapshot in time.

"Cascading water, music to the soul, 
shoes in hand and lapping tide, at toes". 

I particularly like that line, Cherrie. Living si near the sea, it really resonates with me. Love the whole poem but that line especially.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I think everyone enjoys barefeet squished in sand with water lapping over them.

Hello Cherrie, this little write gave me some wonderful imagery, and quite seductive with it too. Nicely penned.

Superb use of imagery and imagination to awaken our senses so well and subtly done 100% on board in your use of the word sparkers you clever girl so much to like in this one. I had another review written but I guess it was so gushing it wasn't saved anyway you really got me as the kinks would sing

[Cherrie Palmer]

sparkers- a old word my grandma used. :)

[Kent Rawski]

So cool I guess is gone out of usage thank you for introducing it to me are you like your grandmother?

[Kent Rawski]

I've always liked learning about word origins so when this came rolling off I picked up on it 😛

[Kent Rawski]

In fact yesterday I read about the origin of the word hooker interesting to me anyway because a family named hooker moved onto my mail route when 1st introduced they said hi were the hookers. so I said like in t j hooker deflecting lol

[Cherrie Palmer]

lol, So I guess they didn't sing 'Hard Times' to you.
As far as my grandma goes, funny thing is the older I get the more I look like her and her sisters.
I'll catch myself in the mirror and wonder when that happened.
