Dear Helvi,
This is a wonderful poem to nature and what inspires you to write. It has the rhythm of your beating heart. Your love of both comes shining through, a poem that flows like a bubbling brook. Outstanding blending of language and poetic warmth.
Warm regards,
Winslow

Comment from Jewell McChesney
My scribbles come from sunset hues that melt into the sky,
Where twinkling stars and moonlight meet, and spirits seems to fly.
The sapphire blue of ocean waves, with edges crested white,
Are all the inspiration that I'll ever need to write.
This is worthy of ten stars! I can hardly wait to read the poem you refer to in your notes. Thanks for sharing your fabulous writing on fanstory. You are just so awesome!
LOVED THIS! I SO RELATE!!

Nan, I loved this. These last lines are so wonderful:
My scribbles come from sunset hues that melt into the sky,
Where twinkling stars and moonlight meet, and spirits seems to fly.
The sapphire blue of ocean waves, with edges crested white,
Are all the inspiration that I'll ever need to write.
I listen for a drop of rain, I see, I smell ,I touch!
A raccoon coming down a tree, my ears are tuned for such.
The shooting stars, Aurora's light, lush berries on a hill,
There's so much more that I could say, perhaps some day I will
You have your muse back. Let's see a lot more of you and your wonderful gift and talent.

Your imagery using nature is very soothing to the soul. You write with a flowing verse that create images of nature in our minds as we read this. I think all of us here can relate to the first line. Inspiration comes in all forms and it's overwhelming at times to realize how blessed we are to receive it. Great job!

Inspirational, passionate, humbling and beautiful. That is what this piece is made of and I believe so is the poet. A wonderful piece filled with spirit and the precious surroundings of this planet, the heavens and the habitation that we all too often sometimes miss and are too busy to notice any more. There is nothing ! I would change or improve on in this piece, for where there is beauty there is perfection. I recommend this reading to all ages not only as a fine piece but also as a inspiration and reminder to stop, take a breather and look around with your heart, mind and spirit.

I like this line, but I also see it stated another way as well. BOTH WORK WELL!!! : "becomes a written goal." OR "becomes the writer's goal. This personalizes it a bit more and brings you, the poet, into the tale. Cheers. This was perfection in every sense of the word. You are beginning to inspire me with your enthusiasm, and your piece here surpasses other work you have done, without a question. All the lines are special additions to the whole piece. I can't say I like one more than another. My hat at this point must come off for you, I am also very humbled by your dedication to my work. PRESS ON- you will go far, I believe.
Your writing friend,
Don

Hi Don, Excuse me while I pick myself off of the floor. I was hoping to get a good review, but I didn't expect this at all.Thank you for your wonderfully kind words. There are no words I can find that can say to you that can thank you enough...My eyes are tearing up and I can't see the keyboard. I am so glad that you enjoyed this. It means a great deal. Bless You, :o) Helvi

This deserves a 10- -I have no sixes- -so * * * * * * * * * * there you go 10 stars for this piece. It is so beautiful, flows so well and how affected you are by your surroundings using all senses to appreciate what beauty there is.
I particularly love:
"A butterfly that lingers near and settles on my tote.
A bubble swept up by a breeze that has a rainbow's glow. "
"Where twinkling stars and moonlight meet, and spirits seems to fly.
The sapphire blue of ocean waves, with edges crested white,"
"I listen for a drop of rain, I see, I smell ,I touch!"
What a soul to have captured to vividly your inspiration. One can almost see, hear, taste, smell and feel through your senses.
Thank you so much. You are truly gifted.

Helvi, this is just delightful! You use such beautiful imagery, and the flow is perfect - smooth without being monotonous. I also admire the way you write longer lines than many poets; it means the poem can keep to a simple rhyme scheme without becoming simplistic, because complexity of thought has time to develop. (Did that sentence make any sense at all, lol?) "Every feathered whispered sound" is a particularly lovely line.
Two nits, I think:
The melodies of chirping birds, Carillion's tinkling bells, - is this a proper name? If not, it's carillon - no second i - which I suspect is going to mess up your meter a bit.
There's so much more that I could say, perhaps some day I will - full stop.
Oh, and I know what you mean about the sources of inspiration - I've been inspired by other people's work, and by their reviews, too, on this site - isn't it marvellous? All that cross-pollination!

Hi Louise, Thank you for the lovely review. I usually write shorter lines, but the poem was overflowing and I didn't know when the ideas were going to stop. LOL I love the way you refer to sharing inspiration as cross-pollination. IT"S SO TRUE! It's amazing that a few simple words can immediately ignite your muse into action. ...You were right about carillon (ion). I don't quite understand what happened there. I was in Wordsoft and it showed carillon was spelled wrong. I thought it needed a capital C, so I changed lowercase to upper case and "Word's error line disappeared. What really makes this funny is when you suggested a lowercase "c" and to remove the extra i (ion) it also said it was right. I ended up going with what you suggested. VERY STRANGE! Thank you for the help and the glowing review. Bless You, Helvi :o)

Sounds like Wordsoft is a close cousin of the Evil Editor! I'd guess that it took Carillion to be a name, and left it like that. I always used to think it was spelt that way too, can't remember when I found out it wasn't, lol.
Louise :))
OH NO!!! I know there are computer viruses, but I don't even want to think of an E.E virus on the loose. Evil Eddie's gone too far this time. LOL :o))))
Helvi :o)
