Arlene Binner July 9, 2015 at 6:52 PM I love this poem, Darlene. It says so much in just a few words. I like your use of alliteration in the poem. Darlene Gifford July 9, 2015 at 7:22 PM 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

Maurice Yvonne October 20, 2014 at 12:06 PM Yeah, this one is brilliant, it is one of my favorites. I will add this one also to my collection. I am going to fav it. Darlene Gifford October 20, 2014 at 12:43 PM Thank you for liking my work! And I see you have been reading my poems today. What a high compliment you are extending to me. Thanks, Maurice.

Eileen Manassian October 15, 2014 at 9:36 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! :) Darlene Gifford October 15, 2014 at 4:25 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!

Liam Mcdaid October 13, 2014 at 7:16 PM darlene different very beautifully paintec Darlene Gifford October 14, 2014 at 4:25 AM 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

Tim Smith October 13, 2014 at 6:59 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 Darlene Gifford October 14, 2014 at 4:32 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
