Damn you, Luceo - I was so going to nominate this. Not because it is worthy, which it is, but for my man-love for Ben!

Beautiful Ben, glad to see it nominated-

Wow! Such flow. Smooth, and perfect. Definitely worthy of nomination! Loved this.

Beautifully penned, Ben! Glad this is nominated.

My favourite line is:
We used the sun to burn the haze that dampened hopes and balmy dreams.

Cheers.
Gracy

Excellent. Congratulations on your win, Dad!

A quality piece of poetry. Congratulations.

The writer brought out much emotion and did it with a very enjoyable flow. I especially liked the third stanza.

I can see why this won, what a beautiful scene this set, I imagined myself in a country film, and this was the ending scene , perhaps a memory of a character after the Main story has been and gone. I could actually envision the scene around and feel everything you described, I suppose it’s everyone’s dream to have moments like this to hold onto and cherish.

I think this small poem could actually be turned into a movie with a great love story!

Thank you for a peaceful and uplifting piece! I cannot believe I have to admit that I have not read a poem for years!!! My loss!!!
