How true the last stanza rings home. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. Thanks for your thoughtful verse. You are now the ABC Fire Marshal!

Burning embers all aglow

Posted on Fri, 08 Nov 2024

A nostalgic but whimsical poem. I liked the line "their gnarly tracks all aglow". Also, I think of the tree rings as stored memories in time's vault. A sentient verse that titilates the imagination. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Seasonal Melody

I like the descriptive language you used in this poem. The canvas of leaves does not last long in the Fall. Nature recycles and regenerates. You captured that process well in your poem. Have a verry cherry day.

Posted on Mon, 23 Feb 2015

A sad but artistic retreat from the one who accented your life with mirth and passion. I would love to see you strike the self deprecating stanza from the poem. Your poignant, deeply-expressed words show that you have the ability of a poet.

 I particularly like the last stanza. I like the contrasting of the howling wind and bleating lamb. It reminds me of the saying that "March comes in like a lamb, goes out like a lion. Congrats on your very cherry day!

 Love your poem, as usual. The only lines I would change would be ones describing the heavy snow on the hedges. I think that "itch to peel off their heavy coats" might sound better. Any who, I like the descriptive winterscape you have painted. I...

An enticing but winsome daliance with the unknown! A trail of tears that winds through the years. If only the days of wine and song were not just a panacea. Your descriptive language brings this poem to life. Have a very cherry day!

A nice, introspective view of the inner city and the inner self. These two themes are nicely melded together. Your artistic descriptions have created a picturesque poem.

I like "with the blink of an eye" as an ending. I like your blurry rhyme scheme. You use small words that rapidly flow. Your form is as fluid as the cheetah's quick strides.Read full comment
