Your work continues to
display your realistically
enchantingly vivid embrace
of this lively, lovely,
world and its soulful people..
"thriving
resonance of music",
indeed!
Onward!

Casts the hours ahead of her like
glass beads clinking in a dish.

^^^ this made a sound in my head. The clinking of time...

Sibs - how on earth did you sit down and write so many earth shattering poems in one day? And all of them SO different!

I can tell you're in a mystically dark mood, loving the nature comparisons in your poems too!

Oh, I love the possums in Australia! I'm certain Abby was both impressed and honored by this poem. It's very lovely and very truthful. I never get tired of your writing - it's soooooo easy on the eyes. Reading your work relieves stress, I swear.

You're amazing. I wish I could emulate your poetry. Your poetry honestly leaves me speechless, you get a nomination from me. Brilliant!

Am I vain to nominate this? Yes.

I love you. Thank you for this. You live in my heart (in the left ventricle, where it is thick and fresh and gushing).

Beautiful piece. The imagery is awesome. You can see this young lady in your mind as you read the poem.
Excellent job!

Congrats on your win :)

Refreshing pops into my head when I finished reading this. Your poems are consistently excellent never mundane or ho hum but like a bright sprig of hope. Yes I can see some of Abby in here but smoothed over by you as each stanza could almost stand alone, yet I think that's how you structured it, but in the end it is all pulled altogether beautifully ..
