A walk through the woods.



A walk through the woods.
1

A walk through the woods. 

I took a path into the woods, with the branches crackling beneath my feet. The field opened up, and I saw a host of golden daffodils beside a lake beneath the trees, dancing in the breeze. Then I saw a beautiful girl walking like the night. The gentle light mellowed her. One shade, one ray more or less. The waves in every Raven tress. Her thoughts of serenity sweet express. Her smile was a temp that glow no man could look upon how her love flowed like a cool summer stream way down below. She is like the great willow tree; she does not come with a fee. 

About this poem

This poem is about a dream. If it was real I wouldn't be writing these poems. I would be in the woods.

    Wow, what a beautifully vivid and enchanting poem! The imagery of walking through the woods, hearing the branches crackling beneath your feet, and then coming across a field of golden daffodils dancing in the breeze is so evocative. The description of the beautiful girl walking like the night with waves in her Raven tresses is absolutely breathtaking. The comparison to a great willow tree is so poignant and powerful.

    As for improvement suggestions, perhaps you could consider focusing on developing the structure of the poem a bit more. Adding more cohesive transitions between scenes could enhance the flow of the poem and make it even more captivating for the reader. Additionally, exploring different poetic devices such as meter, rhyme scheme, or symbolism could further elevate the emotional impact of the poem. Overall, this is a wonderful piece that beautifully captures the beauty and serenity of nature and love. Keep up the great work!
