Regrets

A candle burning low still sparks a flame While trees bend to say goodbye to the breeze. A river running slow still claims a name. A candle burning low still sparks a flame. When snow blows in the canyon I remain And oft deny my constant hope to please. A candle burning low still sparks a flame While trees bend to say goodbye to the breeze. A river running slow still claims a name. A candle burning low still sparks a flame. When snow blows in the canyon I remain And oft deny my constant hope to please, While trees bend to say goodbye to the breeze. The lace-like frost trims memories of these.

Your wonderful poetry full of optimism. Always hoping or believing that something good will happen, although a blanket of ice will try and make you think otherwise!

This is a rare poetry of intimate lyricism, pleasing to the eye and soul. I never praise what is worthless, so you must feel extremely comfortable saying: this praise has foundation and came from someone who, above all, breathes poetry. Btw, thanks for your comment in my work, too.

Milt: this is a very belated appreciation after a week of travel, for the opportunity and challenge you presented. It is such an honor to win after being on the sit for barely over three months. you guidance during that time has helped me, all of which i tried to weave into the Trionet.

Hi Ken, It's good to see your well-written entry. I see from below that you visited the Grand Canyon. Your write is a reflection of someone who has been there. I went to the Grand Canyon years ago. It looks like a winner to me. Best wishes in the contest.PS, I really appreciated the encouraging comment you left on the poem I submitted in the contest. Have a great day and weekend:-)Alexis
