In golden fields my soul has roamed
and grassy hills she called her home
in endless summer days she flourished
on dreams of lasting love she nourished.

Vulnerable, open to the healing
Simple and yet thought-provoking. Nicely done.
I want to go there it speaks to me
Brevity which is visual and says quite a lot. Nicely penned.
Very good Yakira. You have painted a very positive picture of her situation. It’s great to have an optimistic outlook. Just one small thing I noticed, should the my in line one be a her to be consistent?Take care,
Obviously, this is not your first poetic rodeo.
What an strikingly bright, enchanting painting … in watercolor, it appears … the perfect choice for your lovely poem. Which came first, I wonder?
I’m particularly taken with the imagery of your single Quatrain verse in Rhyming Couplets, one of my favorite forms.
Your easy syntactic flow is excellent, and the soft rhymes of L1 ‘n 2 lend a gentle feel, as the feminine rhymes in L3 ‘n 4 leave a solid poetical foundation that supports the entirety very well, indeed.
Interestingly, you’ve spoken of yourself at the onset in present; yet, it’s as tho’ your soul is being viewed throughout by you, as if it’s another entity altogether … in third party, if you will.
I dearly love the ethereality of your poem’s timbre.
Welcome to the Café, Kira, and thank you most sincerely for sharing! ⁓ Richard 🍃
