Hi Mike,
A very good metaphor. I loved the very detailed descriptions and how the words were all very nicely woven together! The last stanza is great.
A very well written and creative poem, most enjoyable to read.
Love

Wow! This review is very nice and flattering for this humble person. I thank you very much for it and the compliments.
Comment from AlvinTEthington
You obviously did your homework quite well. At first I thought the abcb rhyme scheme with monosyllabic words gave the poem a lilting tone, but since you switched later to non-rhyming stanzas and the length of the stanzas, that was lessened. Good sustained metaphor throughout and excellent sense-switching at the end of the poem.

I thought this poem had a very good rhythm too it and the rhyming certainly worked well. The imagery was also very effective and it was enjoyable to read.

Never fully penetrating,
life's needles enter in.
Stopped by a heavenly pillow,
joy is found; love can begin.
What a beautiful sentiment and an equally lovely poem. I enjoyed it very much.
Well done, Nita

Hello,
I loved reading this and how you tied the lace in with growing love. You had some really excellent lines that left me reading with a smile. Thank you for that.

I was very happy to come upon the analogy. Thank you very much for your compliments ans this review.
Comment from Rainbow Writer
I really like the way you have likened love to weaving - this is such great imagery and so true. When you love and grow together the weavings become so entwined you realy have no idea who is who or which is which, adn the threads remain mixed forever.

Comment from c_lucas
The poetry of two lives combining in a relationship that will strengthen them both. I love the imagery and the fact that you chose to view the relationship on both the Spiritual and Physical planes. Thank you for sharing a very beautiful and inspirational poem. Keep up the good work.

Comment from TheSeanRobbins
Great job with this piece. I enjoyed the meter, and at the same time the variation from stanza to stanza. It was well-varied and kept me from falling into a rhythm too much (because then it just goes in one ear and out the other.)
I enjoyed the comparison of love to lace. This is my favorite type of poetry.

I think one way that this works is that the meter is consistant within the stanza. Thank you very much for your compliments and this review.

I guess that ability comes from my photography and my desire to be more involved with art. I love being able to put a meaning of something within an object or scene. Thank you very much for your compliments and this review. Mike

Comment from storymama
I really like the way you have taken the art of lace making and compared it to people in love. I tat, which uses a shuttle with a bobbin, hook and thread. Two threads are combined in knots and picots, joined to make a beautiful piece. That is what I thought of while reading this. How the two come from two different places, one plain on a ball, the other on the shuttle, but even though they are different they combine perfectly. It is a good thing God is patient and can work with our faults, because taking out the knots if they go the wrong place is a major labor of love. I love the picture and especially all of the research that you have included. Thank you for teaching me something new. God bless.

I appreciate your words very much, I went nearly crazy attempting to find hand loomed broadcloth for my shirts. It just didn't come about! Tatting is also mentioned in making lace. Crafts like that have a Zen like quality about them. Thank you very much for your compliments and this review. Mike K2

You really have done your homework. What are you looking for the broadcloth for? Were you serious about looking for it? I just wonder if reinactors have a source for that kind of thing. We are planning on going to a living history program this weekend. Should I ask around? You are very welcome for the review. I really enjoyed your poem and information. God bless.

This is about twenty years ago, I created a mountain man costume. I will post a new profile pict. It's something that I will find and purchase if I can, but right now all of any available money is wrapped up in poetry.

I will watch for that. I am always amazed at the length people will go to make their outfits authentic. Thank you for sharing, Mike. God bless. Laura
