Exquisitely phrased and well conceived. A wonderful entry for the contest for which I am highly considering voting, though there are a quite a few strong contenders. The tone and tenor of this has grace and maturity that sets it apart.

Bravo!~

Best of luck in the contest.
I find no spags.

Warm Regards,

Beautiful poetry about the echos in within the walls of an empty room full of memories. As always you touch the heart with your tender words and loss obviously felt.

God bless you! I almost messed up with my contest entry when i didn't use the SAME word as the first one to end my poem! Whew...I juste edited it!

Thanks for sharing. Good luck!

I really like your rictameter poem, Diane. It's written in flawless form with a smooth flow and it evokes a somewhat bitter-sweet poignancy.

Well done. Good luck in your contest.

Mrs.KT, as always your work is excellent. This rictameter is wonderful as you truly encompass the first word echoes, a distant sound in the recesses of our mind's memories that we never want to let go or silence..well done..best wishes on the contest..jlsavell

I liked the symmetry of this entire presentation. The picture of the door, while not directly reflecting the content of the poem, was the perfect choice given the symmetry of the rictameter style and the concept of echoes. A very enjoyable read. Good luck in the contest.

Throughout these rooms where love once dwelled

This line says so much! It explains why there are only echoes remaining. I appreciate the explanation of the form. It seems to me that you fulfilled the requirement.

Great job with the poetry and I love the line " Echoes of your laughter can still be heard today, throughout these rooms where love once dwelled." Great job with the poetry. Excellent.
