Description:
a poem of appreciation for all the beautiful work she has done in Celtic music

Enya

-------------------------------------------

Melody flows from lips,
with Celtic beauty and vision .

Siren's song she sings,
weaving her haunting voice,
binding words to ears,
with skill and care.

Loveliness her style,
in lyrics and look.

The Valkyrie of her field,
carries one away,
with verse and rhyme,
to displace in time.

This poem caught my eye because I happen to enjoy enya's music (very melodic - it almost hyponitizes you).

Melody flows from lips,
with Celtic beauty and vision .

I like this stanza, as it sets the stage for what's to come. If the title doesn't tell you, the first stanza does. Well done.

Siren's song she sings,
weaving her haunting voice,
binding words to ears,
with skill and care.

Like I said, her music almost hyponotizes you, so I fully agree with the first line! The second line, well listen "tempus vernum", and haunting is certainly a word that describes some of her music. The last two lines connect nicely, and are oh so true. You have the distinct feeling that enya is telling you a story with each song she sings.

Loveliness her style,
in lyrics and look.

This stanza threw me a little, it seems a little out of place. She's a siren; she's haunting - but lovely too? Hmmm - okay, it's effective in terms of what you see and hear (in her music), but there's something missing here. It just isn't poetic enough. Does that make sense?

The Valkyrie of her field,
carries one away,
with verse and rhyme,
to displace in time.

I like this last stanza. carries one away - nicely done (in reference to being a Valkyrie - handmaidens to Odin that carried the slain to Valhalla). Her music carries you away to another place and time.

I do feel that someone that isn't an enya fan might have trouble with this poem, but I favor her music - so for me, it was an effective read.

Suggestions - too bad you couldn't write another tribute poem to enya in which the poem somehow flowed and spoke like one of her songs. Well, maybe you shouldn't try that - since that's why we have enya!

It's short, but well-delivered and written. Although, the last stanza, paragraph, whatever you'd like to call it, is a bit confusing, and I didn't exactly get what you were trying to say there. But, the rest of it is perfectly understandable, but not to the point where it's just saying everything flat-out. You beat around the bush, I guess you could say, but not so much that it's impossible to understand or analyze what the poem is about.

It's very well written, like I've already stated, and the message is clear. I enjoyed it very much.
