Oh when this started I thought it was going to be a love unreturned but it was so much better. This was light and quiet as it snuck into my life. The thoughts were real and not forced. A great job

Hello my friend Barb,
Another lovely review from my new friend
Insightful
Generous
Candid
Best of all, you understand that " trading wishes" is a poem about more than a back-roads drive in a red convertible....
Thank you for being an inspiration for me and a cheerleader
Enjoy this glorious spring afternoon.
Jill

This is beautiful Love Poetry. I like the way that
the words are arranged on the page. It held my
interest for start to finish. The reader-friendly
language makes it easy to read and comprehend. The
attached photo is a befitting accent that enhances
the message. Thank You for your creation.

Your took us all on this beautiful ride into the countryside, with you driving on the poet's pen and setting the mood, as the thoughts were as lovely as the talk and the view. The colorful imager coming through, because of you. The verse was free and full of energy. The company was purely lovely! Really well done! So glad to see you back.

Good morning my friend Fez,
How kind of to ask where I have been. Going through some pretty scary health stuff for the last few months. It has zapped my energy and my time.
Spring is finally here. I intend to celebrate its arrival a bit more quietly, but still welcome it.
No more convertibles for this girl...
I absolutely adore your " reports" from the Fillipines!
Thank you for loving " trading wishes".
I had fun writing it
Have a wonderful vacation
Jill

I really like how you use your words to describe things. Sun-drenched yellow tulips...a long drive to nowhere...scribble the words of friendship... a wish whispered into the wind. This is very lovely and sounds like something I would do. thanks for sharing. I love it. Miss Sally

Hello Miss Sally,
Thank you for your beautifully-expressed, generous, insightful and generous impressions of " trading wishes".
I appreciate that you mentioned your favorite phrases and that you were not deterred by the length of this piece. I somehow needed the bounty of those extra words to convey the emotion of this story. I know you understand that "trading wishes" is about more than back-roads drives in a red convertible
Thank you for loving this one!
Jill

it's so good to come to the place when you recognize that everything you have is enough, and exactly what you need. That's what your poem says to me. Thanks for sharing

(canvass/canvas; Bellinis) Thoroughly enjoyed reading your wonderful celebration of the arrival of spring. It has haunting overtones of a long and wonderful friendship and all the things that were shared.

Thank you for such elegantly-penned, generous, and insightful impressions of " trading wishes".
I appreciate that you were not put off my length of this poem. Somehow I needed that bounty of words to express the emotion of this story.
I am delighted that you enjoyed reading " trading wishes" nearly as much as I did writing it.
It will be a pleasure getting to know you through your poems.
Any favorite titles?

Hi Jill - just back on FanStory after a couple of years absence, so just getting back into submitting. With the exception of a new novel, most of my posts are from a couple of years ago. I did submit an entry for the Epitaph contest, but alas, got nary a vote! Keep writing - wish it was spring here! - Colorado got blasted with 20" of snow, and we're right below it, waiting...
Comment from Crystal Carey
Well I don't know about porch swings anyways. Last time I sat on one it broke (I wasn't chunky yet) but the chain apparently was rusty. So nope I don't like porch swings. I loved your poetry it flows very nicely!

Jill,
Your poem is filled with such lovely thoughts and symbolism. The imagery makes it easy for the mind's eye to see that the protagonist is thinking of someone very special to spend quality time with. Your color scheme and graphics add much allure to the piece.
It is a lovely read.
