Bella Shepard said:

Such beautiful lines in honor of a beautiful and tortured soul. I love the last stanza which seems to epitomize what van Gogh loved to paint most. So lovingly written dear friend.

Van Gogh? A troubled soul.

This write holds a feel of mystery and a sense of foreboding. The ending lines give me the feel that beauty gilds with gold a darker underlying issue. Very nicely done it reads smooth and is haunting

The act of simply sitting and observing our surroundings can bring such contentment, we should do it more. Thank you for reminding us of how sweet it can be, just to be.

A most beautiful vision. I am sitting in a country house far from people or noise. I only hear the the songs of birds with granite rocks all around and it doesn\'t take much to picture your scene. Very peaceful is the mood it left me with.

A fine aubade (poem) that is, CB, I says, after getting out dictionary!
That\'s a good enough word to be starting a new year, or new day with!

Beautifully worded my friend. The passage of time seems so much more tangible as we wade through the winter months. Thank you for this delightful end of the year verse.

Yuk, tastes like drinking perfume, I imagine. Not that I ever have drank perfume. Well, smells like it anyway!

This one leads me down different paths simultaneously. I read the seriousness implied by the first line. Then I read the ending two lines and it takes me to another place.

Bella Shepard said:

Enticing, the image of that beautiful, juicy orange. Perhaps taunting, as it may roll away to entice another day. Good one dear friend, always fun.

Bella Shepard said:

Years of writing has given me arth-writis in my writing hand, but I do prefer the written word. This is a wonderful tongue, and brain twister dear bard, such fun.

sorenbarrett said:

Right. To write is to not be left behind my teacher used to say. Now I\'ll shut right up. Love plays on words. Right well done.

Please excuse me - I can\'t shay that middlesh line as I\'ve had a gin or threesh!

sorenbarrett said:

It came to me that all art is a bit nostalgic needing past experience to evoke feelings at times unidentifiable but locked in some form they do linger as you say and this is what makes a poem, or any work of art, art to me. Nicely done.
