Softness
It is yours that crumbles
me at times a cold
granite rubbled by your
kind air.
It is yours,
that is the likeness of dew
seeped by morning glories,
cool mists among
calm waters
It is yours,
that I long to dwell in
like the soft sea form
which trickles down my skin
and offers me the ocean.

i hope you won't keep this from them. its a gift.
I love descriptive writing. A while back, I bought the book "How It Works", so I could see how mechanical instruments are described in construction and operation. Since then, I've been trying to sharpen my descriptive skills. In fact, distanced, objective and descriptive rather than emotive writing can convey, in my opinion, more powerfully the full horrors of such world phenomena as the Gulag camps or Belsen; used choicely, descriptive writing can suggest the unspeakable brutality of oppression far better than emotional writing that somehow always seems like crude understatement.
I think the reason why some people don't like too much description in poetry is that they prefer sensation to be evoked in symbols and "universal" imagery. Each to their own. Poetry is very accommodating.
But seriously...I really like this poem.
