Wow, I really enjoyed that. Fantastic description in adjectives like "hillbilly cloth" and "unrefined sugar." Still going strong at 60-something and probably for a long time to come.

I would imagine she'll go strong for a very long time yet:) Thanks so much.
Comment from Michael Sundaresan
Good descriptive poem about a woman in her 60's that has labored through life. Her attributes and characteristics are positive and homely, but not overdone. She has an air of modesty about her.

How nice for Jean that she has someone who sees her
through such adoring eyes. I know I would be pleased.
I like the line, Cut from organic hillbilly cloth. Well done.

Hi Teresa,
This is a nicely written little poem that I found to be interesting. I wonder if I read the first poem you wrote for your people series. If I did I've forgotten. I do know that I like your poetry and look forward to reading it, but forgetfulness always has it's way.

Hi Kat, thanks for reviewing. I think that you did read the first poem. It was called Grizzly Bear.

Yes, the name sounds familiar. Thanks!

Nice free style poem with an intimate message. Nice writing for the oncoming series. Maybe an art image would have been nice, but still liked the poem.

As I wrote in the author notes, I am choosing not to use art as the poem should describe the person. Thanks for the review.

Oh, I'm so sorry; I always read author notes. Don't know why I missed this one.

Great descriptive words to describe Jean that I can easily envision. I love the contrast of glass figurines and overalls. You make me want to meet her.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

No picture needed to visualize your character, Jean. She should be modeling. She seems like a very nice person. I like :"a sweetness in her tone." Well written.

A very nice writing. You paint a humble picture of a wholesome country girl and you did it nicely. She's a likable person and would be a complimentary addition to anyone's circle of friends. Good luck with all your writings! Jim

Well portrayed is Jean simple yet devoted and beautiful in an unrefined way.
Good free verse and I can see her right before me

Jean sounds like a person most everyone would want to meet ... "unrefined sugar' sort of sums her up ... unintentionally beautiful in very way! You surely conveyed the person of Jean beautifully. Very enjoyable! ~ Blessings! Pat :)
