The Spur and Scent of Descriptive Writing

"...The bard’s pen built a bond..."

The Spur and Scent of Descriptive Writing

It enriched the ode with radiant imagery,
with its kind of ease, tease and symmetry.

He read a memorable verse, and it was so vivid
that he could see the object: spherical and solid.

The poetess’s sensory diction danced, stirred his mind
and heart to seam and sing with its enchanting sound.

The bard’s pen built a bond, a beauty that rose into a daylight
of bliss based on senses of touch, taste, sound, smell and sight.

He found himself gravitating to the tune of the rare instrument,
dazzled, stringing it like a guitar, savoring its aroma and nourishment.
