Comment from GeraldS
This is quite nice. It is both a thoughtful piece and one that stimulates thought as the reader ponders the words. It is a worthy tribute and it communicates on more than a single level. And it is nicely illustrated and presented.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
This is absolutely beautiful - sombre and sincere. Written with a lot of feeling and your poem is enhanced by the lovely words in your author notes. Such a simple, lovely write - A Candle Burns - Warm regards Dorothy x 'One flame can penetrate the night' - I particularly like that line x

What a loving and reassuring poem, Brooke. It is true that there are many candles of hope and love burning for Maureen. This poem and your wishes among them. I can't think of a finer way to say how much you care about her and that that she is free to follow whichever light burns brightest for her.
Nice to see an Octogram poem. A form by our own Sally Yocum.
I wish I had a six for this. *** ***

Love this one in particular. A little deeper than most of the poems you seem to post here. Still it has your usual flare for perfection!

This is such a wonderful poem for Maureen as she struggles between light and darkness. This is a beautifully written octagram.

Very nice rhyming poem. Has a good light feeling to it.
THOUGH DARK WOULD SPREAD THE REALM OF NIGHT
A CANDLE BURNS,
ONE SPARK AGAINST THE THEFT OF LIGHT WHEN DOUBT RETURNS
