1st Stanza by Charles Messina 2nd Stanza by Speak Volumes

Wettened by the mornings dew Closely spaced where rows of roses grew Footprints stained the cobblestone Where my love and I had walked, alone Sunlight enhanced her golden hair A tear fell as alone I left her there Her sorrowed words begged me to stay As each step took me further away.

Beautiful SV and good for the contest as not every winner can be the middle of the story - I'm sure this will flow beautifully x

The more familiar you are with someone, the less you have to say. I could answer you by saying " Oh wonderful D, you are such a lovely friend, I cherish the praise that your beautiful words convey, they are a blessing, that will make my whole week go more smoothly and put my mind at ease that am writing poetry that you enjoy. You bring hallowed joy into my humble life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. OR I could say ~ Ta ~ Means the same thing. :)

I absolutely adored the way you crafted this poem, SV. The words flowed effortlessly, painting a vivid picture in my mind. It was as if I could feel the gentle breeze and smell the fragrant blossoms as I read each line. Your poem touched my heart, evoking a sense of warmth and tenderness that made me want to linger in its enchanting embrace. Good luck in the contest, SV! And may Jemma have a truly wonderful and unforgettable time with her grandmother, surrounded by love and happiness.

First thank you for your wonderful words for my little part-poem. and next, thank you for your well wishes for Jemma & Brandon's visit. You know how much I love her, I always get excited when any or all the Americans head south. They will arrive when the Jasmin are in full bloom and our garden is a picture of vivid colour as Spring bursts in.
