"How -"

How calm the choir of
Forest is;
How soft the snare of
Rain.
How cheeky the charm of
Shadow is,
leaving a cheeky stain.

How slick the silhouette of
Horizon is;
How wishing the whisper of
Wind,
wishing to whisper bliss.

How pointless the paths of
Life are,
if one does not walk them far...

Nathan Bednarek 2008.

This is really promising again, but it needs some work on a couple of lines that detract enoromously from what otherwise would be a very nice poem. For me, it's primarily the use of 'cheeky' - it just doesn't work - it feels very out of tone with the rest of the piece. Also structurally you could neaten this up a bit, but my main concern is the word 'cheeky'! :)

And I meant to say how very, very good these lines were...'How calm the choir of forest is; How soft the snare of rain.'. Brilliant lines.
