Beaded Beauty

The day is young with dew that drips.
Dew that plips and
dew that slips.
Dew that plops
as rainfall does, from
way up in the canopy tops.
Dew that glistens on the blade of
every green in   every glade.
Dew that makes the morning land
shine anew, as silky grand,
for morning dew has touched our earth
and with it comes   a new day's birth.

Author's Note

This piece was very impromptu but I actually had to work a fair amount to get its cadence to flow well with specific rhyming schemes. I'm very fond of it... let me know what you think!

This is quite beautiful, and your rhythm in words makes them fall very well. You are right to be fond of it. There seems to be a pattern with your poetry. I think I understand why you put double spaces between some words, for emphasis. But I think it might be easier on the eyes if you simply moved it down a line, or used more commas. But, it is just my humble opinion.

Your words are your own, and they are beautiful.

Your review made me smile and feel good about my work, so I thank you for that. This is one of my most recent pieces and definitely has earned it's way to be one of my favorites. The extra spaces are a replacement of pause, letting you know to allow a little more time than if it were regularly spaced. I really love experimenting with structure and space. I believe that I likely will do more of this "extra space" to allow for pauses in the future. Once my readers are aware of why the spaces are there it is much easier to read and makes sense. the longer the space, the longer the pause. Thank you for your thoughtful review :)

I see. Every writer has their style. I look forward to more of your poetry. I am seldom impressed, but you have impressed me.

Keep writing.

I dig the sing song quality of this piece. It hits all the right notes. It sounds great aloud; the words play well against each other.

Thank you very much :) I have a few other poems with that cadence. If you liked it then I would recommend reading my poem titled "little Elves". I read a lot of Shel Silverstein so he has rubbed off on me a bit.

Yes, I can see the influence :)
