Beautifully

This is really moving and you've painted the scene in words very beautifully.

No comment of mine could do those of whom you speak more justice, Coral, than the narrator herself, of this beautiful poem.

Tina;-)

Beeme & Tina - your words mean a lot. Thank you both.

A wonderful poem telling of those who are less
fortunate than us and yet wonderfully talanted.

Jenny.

Thank you Jenny - yes I have met some very inspirational people through my past work who indirectly helped me later on in life.

calm and honest
one to slow us down

thanks

once again it's the sparing use of words that makes this poem so good

Hello seashore!
Lovely and thought provoking.
It's a shame you can't display your paintings here as well.
I'm sure a Cherry would appear.

really like this seashore - agree with Insert, sparing in this case is more than good. :-)

Thank you for the thoughtful words, Ashb. Much appreciated.

Your feedback much appreciated as ever, insert.

That's nice of you ScoZen - you might be disappointed in my paintings though!

Thank you for liking this, Fatboy, and letting me know you felt `spare' worked here. It means a lot.

Thanks so much for cherries, Eds.

really liked this poem.
it was written

beautifully :)

especially enjoyed the honesty of the confession at the end.

cheers,

jose.

So glad you liked it jose and many thaks for letting me know - much appreciated.

Well done! The whole work structured around one word
most impressive and totally beyond my capabilities.

That's probably the nicest compliment you've ever given me for one of my pieces Geoff - also the most insightful. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

last stanza made me well up. great stuff Coral.

So nice to know someone is interested enough to read, never mind comment on, old pieces like this, md - so many thanks.
