    Wow (: This is beautiful (: It's amazing how two strangers can be linked together through writing or poetry. Through writing, we will be able to understand others, appreciate them, and share our own pain with them.. We can also bridge continents, touch hearts, an inspire others. I love how the you feel connection to this nurse with your pens. A lovely write (:

    Wow!! This poem touched my soul. Its amazing how you linked her to the world of poetry, and how by just a glance you made us see her through poetry eyes. I loved thus poem Andrea, and what I loved more is the connection I felt with her without even knowing here.

    To my favorites as I would love to read it again and again <3

    We link to others through tenuous, yet vibrant channels. Spying another in the act of creating a private reserve while serving you in a public manner: you leave her that privacy without disclosing your own central nature of expression. Your secrecy guards her own, even though you now hold a clue to her persona. Perhaps she is a poet - perhaps a fellow observer of the cosmos sent to explain it in ways new to others. A sisterhood may lie open.

    Because I'm a physician, your poem touched a tender place in my heart, it's so strange how we invisibly connected in this world.
    Great writing, congratulations.

    I can't believe I just now saw this piece and read it thoroughly enough to actually read it and get it. (Sorry). Congrats on the win, most definitely well deserved. I'm so sorry I missed this though, it is absolutely wonderful. The hints of both stories the narrator's and the blonde they are observing are beautifully done in a way that is detailed enough to captivate both while still leaving their secrets intact for only them. I love the feel here, your pieces are always so unique, but this one is one of my favorites thus far. I wish I could describe why, but all I can think to say is - it's phenomenally different. It is simply captivating.

    Excellent write :)

    This was a very nice poem since it was like meeting a person that shares your passion yet they are hidden of it because of their profession, but you still notice certain characteristics that they both share. I was deeply in love how this poet involved her personal life and made this poem spectacular because it holds that magic that life just seems to have. It was filled with love, and a kind of understanding, yet it held something platonic that affects us in every day which is life and love.

    This adorable writing represents a face of human nature that we see and feel, still very hard to capture its essence. the title is very tricky leaving the reader unable to imagine what kind of dialogue or story the poem might tell, her opening as well, only one line and it was pretty enough for a very detailed enjoyable discription.
    In the third stanza I liked how she referred to her writing as a secret, it's what we unintentionally do, transforming situations of our daily lives into poetry, and in most of the cases secretly, where the main characters would never know how inspiring they were.
    Her closure was very successful conjoining the purpose of each, framing in specific terms how both characters were very familiar despite being strangers.
    Neat layout and excellent word choice.
