Dearest Brooke,
This should have recieved a six from me, yet what do these things mean within the realm of the heart. Such lovely words, full of poetic and spiritual grace. Truly, a lovely work of art. thank you so much--Ted

Just as a lit candle can chase away the darkness. Words of wisdom and discernment can chase away the darkness of ignorant speech and thought. Brave writers such as you, do yeomanlike work as you craft words and thoughts in such a way that makes ignorance flee in shame. Wonderful work my friend.

Comment from BunnyS
This is such a beautifully written poem. It is much less light hearted than most of your work... that I have read, anyway. I just lost my uncle a couple of weeks ago and my thoughts went directly to him. I don't know if I'm feeling overly sentimental or more emotional than usual, but it really got to me. You have such a wonderful way with words. Beautifully done!

I love this beautiful encouraging
poem for Maureen. where there is light there
is hope and all the candles burning for her
will keep the dark at bay.
Beautifully composed double Octogram with a
most appropriate repeating line. Nancy

Nancy, thank you so much :-) It is not a double octogram - the composition of the octogram is a 16 line poem with a rhyme scheme of aBabccbB ababddbB :-) Brooke

adewpearl,
Your feelings are well expressed. The flow is great. The words you chose were very good. Your theme was well defined.
There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.
Your feelings are very understandable and expressed through the poem. I look forward to seeing you again.
Love you,
Oatmeal
