I love this poem, Darlene. It says so much in just a few words. I like your use of alliteration in the poem.

That's a high goal isn't it, to write a poem that other poets think is worthy enough to live awhile in their minds. Thanks for reading. Blessings, Darlene

I found this so interesting and captivating, Darlene. I love how you used words in this unique way...just like what you described in the poem. It is a lovely painting! :)

That's exactly what I was trying to accomplish, Eileen. Thanks for your reassuring comments. Trying something new is always a risk, but as the old saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I tried to mark this as a picture poem, but there is no such category!

Your comments are so much appreciated. And I am grateful for them, Liam! Thank you as I was beginning to think, since no one commented, that what I was attempting was not good poetry. You give me confidence to try something new. Blessings, Darlene

OH, Tim, bless you for saying that! It means so much to me when I get comments on my poems. And this one especially because it's validating! I saw that picture painting in my mind and knew I couldn't just write it out like a regular poem. I am glad that it reminded you of your artist friend. Blessings, Darlene
