What a soft floating feeling, reading your work. You hit the mark without the reading coming off like you were aiming anywhere but to the heart of the one this in intended for. Have a good weekend. Hanna Marie

How beautiful! I am a songstress and this poem would make a lovely song! It reminds me of the song "I wish I were a tiny sparrow..." just superb.

I liked the spirit of this work, grasping the fortitude to make a system of virtue, and a sumination of that as it gives to this writing its own. It all fits well with the format too. What a wonderful learning experiance I've had
on FANSTORY, thank you, Jon

Hello Brooke.
Of course you know that once I saw your recognition I had to read the work. :) This would have been read anyway had I been here. This is a wonderful thought which is beautifully composed. One cant even feel the shift from abab to ccdd, except that you pointed it out. Exceptional! Becca

Thought I would come and check out what you had written, what I had missed.

Congratulations are certainly in order for this soft and heartwarming piece.

What a love poem, indeed. It shines, like a star, in its simplicity.

Thank you,

    Thanks so much, Zigzagmit, for this wonderfully generous review :-) I'm so glad you enjoyed this poem - I don't write romance very often, so it's nice it worked. :-) Brooke

Dear Brooke,
This is indeed a lovely poem and statement, which deserves more than simple words. It deserves a poem from me to you.
I am a singer, this is true/and sing I will a song for you/
but sew for you I will not do/To charm your ear and warm your bed/come morning and you'll find me dead!
Fondly, Lyle:)

From reading this poem I can see why you are the # 1 ranked poet on this site. Beautiful- simply beautiful! I'm currently Poet # 287 but, for me, having only been on this site one week, I'm happy to even be listed! I really love your poem

Hello Brooke:
Congratulations on winning the poem of the month with beautiful "Were I a Seamstress." Maybe not a songstress or a seamstress but surely a great poet.

Brooke,

This poem is simply outstanding and well-deserving as Poem of the Month. I did not read the other entries, given I visit the site minimally (maybe three times a year), but I know your craftmanship.

The metaphor works so well. In its brevity, this poem is memorable and gives one a sense of warmth. I sincerely love every line. Love poems can sound trite if not written with originality and unique creativity. You did a superb job with the innovation.

Congratulations on the win! I leave in awe.
