Whispering Memories

Beautifulll!!! This poem is amazing and really touched me! I really enjoyed it and am so proud of you! Congratulations on the win!! You really deserve it... This was so beautifully written.. I love the imagery you've created. Wonderful job!

^Why still stands,
solitary lighthouse^

This couplet is missing a word.....you need an a or a the before solitary and the first line is worded unnaturally. You could have worded it:

WHy a solitary lighthouse still stands

Still standing is a solitary lighthouse

something worded a little different that sounds more natural.

I know English isn't your first language so you get extra kudos.

I like the word choice, imagery and emotion.

Why still stands,
solitary lighthouse

^It feels like there is a word missing in here somewhere

Aside from this, I thought it was wonderful. Without even looking at the photo that inspired this, I think you did a great job and created a great image in the reader's head. I really enjoyed reading this, nice work.

Acidic memories,
drenched me again
last night,

*I can really relate to that. I feel that way whenever the memory of someone comes back and I don't know how to handle it. I think you did a wonderful job with the image. Your words are soft and hold so much sadness and pain in them. I love the way this was written. It was simple but the emotions described can be different for anyone. I loved this piece hun, very well done. Nik*

This poem stood out at me from the beginning of the contest, awesome job. congrats on the image contest
