Comment from Margaret Snowdon
So beautiful and yet so sad, your words really capture the image of the statue, Brooke?. I could imagine the pain and emotion she must be feeling, before I looked upon her sorrowful eyes gazing down on her beloved Son.
Just beautiful.
Margaret.

Margaret - yes, mothers have a special connection to this statue, don't they? Thank you, Brooke
Comment from luna
This is a pretty cinquain, Brooke, with enough imagery in it's lines that you don't need to adorn it with a picture. Thanks for the Author's notes. All the best.
Yours,

Comment from JDMills
I can see how you gained your number two poet ranking. This poem is so lovely in it's simplicity. Of course, not knowing a great deal about poetry I'm assuming that some of that simplicity comes from the Cinquain form, nevertheless I think the words chosen paint beautiful imagery without wasting any (words that is).

yes, the cinquain form forces one into simplicity, which is great for me since I'm long-winded. LOL Thank you for this lovely review, Brooke
Comment from Gaye Hemsley
As usual an excellently shown poem, just thought I'd check in 'Fanstory' before I retire for the night and found one of your delightful pieces of writing. We are having a lovely summer. Off boating tomorrow. Cheers Gaye

Boating - I am so jealous - in just a couple of hours we're going to have an ice storm. UGH. Thank you for your positive review, Brooke

We had a perfect day. Meet up with family staying at a holiday camp not far from us. Went to a nearby Island with two boats and a kayak and lots of children. Great day. Bit tired now off to bed Cheers Gaye

Michelangelo gives us a lot to ponder with that statement. So true. So true. I enjoyed this and really enjoyed your author's notes.

Comment from Terror2s
Your poem was a beautiful interpretation of the piece. You were fortunate to be exposed to a lot of cultural opportunities when you were young. Terror

Yes, I was most fortunate - schools that offer these kinds of trips really should be commended - and it was a public school in a not rich town. Thank you, Brooke
Comment from treaclemoon
I've never seen the statue but I feel I know what it looks like after reading your beautiful tribute to it. A very moving write. I don't know much about cinquain but I think I'm getting to like it. The only possible suggestion would be perhaps a comma after 'her son'. Thanks for sharing this with us, it's beautiful.

thank you for that comment that you could visualize the statue from my poem! I'll revisit the punctuation, Brooke
Comment from AlvinTEthington
A beautiful poem describing a beautiful work. It has always struck me that the most moving event of the Christ is not Scriptural but in Christian tradition. You have the form of the cinquain down, with the turn at the last line. Also, the title is part of the poem, as Crapsey intended. Beautiful work.

Alvin, thank you - I love that you comment on the craft of a poem as well as the content, and you comment in a knowledgeable way. Brooke

Thank you. To me, it's not a true critique if it doesn't address form as well as content.
