Where are we?
By Jonas Robinson
Red moon hung like a pearl
Upon the velvet sky
Oh, mother can't we turn back time
And witness nature, burning skies
"No, sweet Heart, it's night for good."
As the wind blows, with meter
In a song of a rose
Dancing through the streets
I find a cave of the dead
And light a fire,
who knows how far it will spread?

I like the way you use the rose Is it not metaphorically innocence, romance and the hidden …..Joyce used it often ie the fallen rose

You can feel the vulnerability of a rose There's something about the hidden effects of a word or phrase that adds to a poems power The sonic power of symbol or metaphor beyond narrative or style; although all critical

Oh wow I really really enjoyed this. It struck all the right nerves and that last stanza really left me pondering "what comes next?" When it's "night forever" and the world is no longer your oyster, who will create a spark to see what comes? Very nicely done throughout, thank you for sharing!

Are you asking how far the fire or dead will spread? Either way I love this

I'm satisfied because you call the imagery, "breathtaking." I always like to imagine my imagery to be enchanting. :)

I do agree with bpathos, "It's night for good" is a great bit. I interpret this as their last night they live

I like "It's night for good" ... we've come to expect three lives to everything. Finality has lost it's grip. Nice write, I enjoyed it.

Quite the vivid cavalcade of imagery, the feeling it gave me is indescribable, like a dizzied swirl, then culmination, a world created and disappearing in an impassioned blaze. Once I have room, I'll make sure to return and bookmark this, write on.

A prodigal Prometheus perhaps; liked the way you approached this JR. Welcome to DP, and anxious for more of your future visions writ with a sure-handed feel for loss and longings. Cheers! - Dan
