To the Nymphs by `Beccalicious:iconBeccalicious:



Daughters of Artemis,
Ladies of spring,
it is with wide eyes you are watched
whilst dancing.
Laughter flutters between, whilst you
entwine between branches as if
they were maypole ribbons.
Greens,
upon browns,
upon golds
to the pinkest
of blossoms lay like crowns upon
your heads- with only the leaves of
your tree to cover your modesty.

Frivolous, naïve, innocent.
For beyond
your woodland festivity lies
the burdens of men.

I really like the maypole bit, and the image you get of the nymphs fluttering between branches :)

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

I often randomly comment on other deviants' work. Feel free to return the favour!

Such a colorful piece=D

For beyond your woodland festivity lies the burdens of men---my favorite part. Great stuff :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Epiphany: a sudden and powerful understanding of something previously misinterpreted.


I want to spawn epiphanies in every generation.

Lovely! :clap: I really hate it when people ask for advanced critique and I can't spot any points for improvement; if you have to look really hard for flaws, I think it's self-defeating. But since you ask, I wonder if you could add a visual aspect to this - kind of make it look like nymphs dancing about (as much as one can with words). You get a real sense of that anyway, but maybe that could be enhanced by the layout.

As always you write such amazing poetry. I like the nymph idea, though I admit to enjoying some of your other pieces more. Still, great work =D
