WITH YOU.
Neville said:

I would be hard pushed to say it any better than many of my reviewing predecessors... A lovely poem and filled with correspondingly lovely imagery and concepts... I can\'t remember the last full English I enjoyed.. but am gonna have one first thing tomorrow, I can tell ya..... Neville

My Dear Fay,

Your sagacious penned poem is a delightful read!

I totally agree with Michael!
“Guidance not Dominance”!
Children should not be stifled in “bubble wrapping” forevermore! Allow them to fall and pick themselves up!

A fine write Fay. I\'m silly! I swoon at some love poems. Maybe they are \'lurve\' poems, as they say. I should \'leave my sheltered life a bit, get my coat, and get out more\', as they say! lol.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

This is really beautiful FAY : It expresses perfectly how a Love Poem develops in my mind : and then into draft on paper ! The draft then FERMENTS (writing a perfect poem is like making perfect wine : I have lots of drafts fermenting !). When i write a LOVE POEM I do bare my heart. I pray that I might have your : Way With Words : to fully express (in a sonnet) the depth : height : breadth of my deep love for BRIAN ! Thanks for caring : Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks FAY : Angela here. This (as usual) is an elegantly presented Poem. Four balanced Quatrains with a consistent (xaxa xbxb etc) rhyme pattern and metre (Brian is teaching me how to analyse poetic structure !) However the message is rather melancholy (not your usual optimism ?). V 1. Sad Present haunted by pleasant past. V 2. AWAKE @ night because dreams of past memories are too bitter sweet ! V 3. CRYING : in my pillow : because the SAD present has eclipsed the HAPPY past V 4. Loss of a Loved One does leave us half-empty. Yet one has to learn to begin to enshrine the past and press on resolutely ! (In my experience never easy !)
I want to be a better Poet and I am advised by Reading & Tutors & Brian : To read and analyse the Works of Good Poets : like yourself ! Was my analysis OK ? Thanks for posting poems on emotionally difficult areas
Love You & all your POEMS : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

ALTERATION.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD EVENING FAY : It\'s Tuesday morning here already. When I spoke to BRIAN (SKYPE) He promised Me this one for comment ! It is so so elegant : it recites like silk and I will use it (and acknowledge) at the next Poetry reading @ Church : OK. I adore Sunsets and the visual adds emphasis to the Poem !
V 1. Love the metaphor \"Sky fading like an old Love Affair\" YES !
V 2. Sunset for Me is always a Magical Time and the dome (of cloud ?) as the Sun defers to the Crescent Moon !
V 3. The alteration is complete as darkness descends as Sister Moon (dependent on Brother Sun for her reflected Glory) takes centre stage : AMEN
Thanks for caring : LOVE ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
