Arlene Binner Date: 7/9/2015 6:52:00 PM I love this poem, Darlene. It says so much in just a few words. I like your use of alliteration in the poem.

Blessings, Darlene

Eileen Manassian Date: 10/15/2014 9:36:00 AM 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! :) Login to Reply Darlene Gifford Date: 10/15/2014 4:25:00 PM 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!

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

Tim Smith Date: 10/13/2014 6:59:00 PM I love this Darlene...An artist friend of mine uses words in her paintings this reminds me of that..Excellent picture and content...hugs Tim Login to Reply Darlene Gifford Date: 10/14/2014 4:32:00 AM 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
