A prose poem by

A place among the hills

Everything that is beautiful, everything that is right,
comes together here, now, but not for everyone's sight.
Cliffs so magnificent, lakes shine so clear,
songs of birds sound peacefully near.
Rush of rivers flowing and hilltop flowers glowing
along the rolling hills.
What keeps this place so grand, to all that walk the land,
is seldom know it's here.

When I first read your poem I guess this is a poem about nature or world because you mention words "rain", "water", "ground", "leaves" and "sky" but in fact, it is poem about love. Your poem is unpredictable. I love it :D

Thank you @TrisnaAprilia, @stmufarrohah, and @Meesafiktri for the comments. It is very fine for me if you want to criticize my work. That would be great. Just feel free. :)

"Only my love remains the same".
Your last stanza made me fascinated.

but, is this actually a love poem? @avivkhazanah

I do like these simple poem, particularly in last stanza. For me, it's impressing.

You really like to make a twist in a poem right? But I think you are forcing it in this poem. I get the feeling when I read the first and the second stanza, but then it seems like you have no more words to say and decided to write anything to make your poem longer. A short poem is good as long as you can evoke the readers' emotion, what do you think?

@Saw233 haha lol. I can't stop laughing when i read your comment. You know, you maybe right about 'no more words to say and decided to write anything to make your poem longer'. You noticed it. It is also right that I like to make a twist. To evoke the readers' emotion, we do need good words. Actually this is my first poem. I dont really have good words to write. So that's why it is. Do you have any suggestion how to get beautiful words to write in poems?
