This is part of a poem... I am having problems with one stanza...your feedback is appreciated...My feeling is that the second stanza has too much in it...

First draft:

Deep within the valley
a glint of light revealed
a gentle flowing river
near a field of daffodils... 
 

(Decided to stay with the first version)

Thanks!

This first draft is perfect, Linda.

It flows with sweetness and truth.

I like the first better, more concise but conveys the image well.

I agree with Fee, I like the flow and rhythm of the first stanza. Hope this helps.

I like both versions but the first would be my preference, it has a nicer flow and rythem to it when read out loud.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
