Sun-wise (Re-post from misc to get crit)

[Keith]

Stone grinds out a diamond arc,
trilithons frame the heel.
Beasts of burden down from field,
parade around the fires wheel.

Rural beacons blind the night,
leapers launch above the flames,
marking out the crops new height,
all-fathers play their manly games.

Sun passes power onto leaf,
vervain, trefoil, rue and rose
sleep to dream of loves new lease,
the bard within reclaims belief.

It sounds good when I read it out loud but I'm missing something on the meaning. Is this some pagan society celebrating the sun and the harvest?

Mid-summer, thanks for stopping by.

i can oly leave the same feedback here

i think this is excellent.
everything about it.
the stressed start of most of the lines works really well
i'm not sure what the form is called but its a solid example

it's image rich and i'm struggling to express how much i like it. for me this is the best poem of yours i've read to date.

Thanks Billy that means a lot coming from you, I'm not sure what the form is either so that probably means there aint non. In fact having just read it back its all over the place, still I like things messy. Thanks Keith
