A beautiful portrait painted with
words that fall in brush strokes
of truth showing what simply
Jean is really made of, especially
when one looks at the twinkle of
her eyes when she tilts her had
and smiles at you.
Well done

I like this very much. It had the flavor of closeness with a sense of pride. A bubbly kiss,a little dig, a short hug, all of these metaphors for the impression it gives. Lastly, a sense of togetherness regardless of differences as it is the differences that is so special.
Best wishes,
RG

I love the simplicity of your poem. You tell it as it is, first with Jean's height and build, then her mind and her humour. The lines,
A sweetness in her tone....
yet..
more like unrefined sugar

It makes Jean sound like a truly genuine, warm sort of person.

I like the rough and gentle comparison of the organic overalls and collection of glass figurines. You really can never judge a book by its cover. Nice work.

I love this description. It say so much about the character to me. I think it tells more than any of the other lines in your poem. I really like how you summed her up and that it was done in a short and effective poem. Nancy

What a kind and lovely description you've penned, Teresa.

Your well chosen words make Jean appear before my eyes. Your fine use of alliteration and enjambment throughout add to the flow of your words. I particularlarly like the imagery in these words: "she's not the brightest candle in the chandelier." Made me smile! :)

Well done! Take care. Alana

Very simple to imagine Jean as you incorporate good visual imagery;
I greatly enjoyed your well-penned ode to a lady many may be fortunate enough to know in reality;
"more like unrefined sugar"--love this simile to express a portion of Jean's personality.
~Excellent~ A pleasure to read.

'she's not the brightest candle in the chandelier, but her eyes twinkle when she smiles'. Brilliant TAB and very clever to. Well worthy of the All Time Best accolade. Short and succinct but tells us a lot about this woman I would like to have known. Eric
