Dear friend, congratulations in this, your poem, being qualified as one of the best of the month. I'm so happy I found you. I just love your eulogy to this mountain, haunting in its coldness. Best, dear Michael.

A really beautiful poem that shows how precious life and the people in it can be. The simple, but powerful word choice really completes the poem alongside it's message. Keep up the great work!

Clear thoughts written in your great cryptic style. Imagery in abundance.
Strong image to add to your theme.
Bravo.

Hey Michael(((((((((((((... these magic words evoke of place of eternal gratefulness within the never-ending cycle of experiences... very haunting... and as usual you add that hit of music that always fit like a glove to rich'n the ride... so wonderfully composed my Brother!

With our thoughts we create,
memories that last.
James.

Very serene and very well crafted. Each stanza seem to paint a scene of nature from different points of view but all with the same feel.

Well done.

This held a heartbeat of mine, grasped tightly around a moment in time. Let the sun rise, let it caress and blanket us, who we are, who we were. Standing by a burning maple as it rebels against the cold is foundational. Your poem inspires the truth at heart.

Lovely poem, mate. I love the image used, good choice and arrangements of words too. I love this lines especially :
follow through goes round and round
eternal bends & never ends
over and over again begins
Well done. Thanks for sharing.

remnant mementos
never unshackle;
memory forges
intricate fretwork -

arabesque
courtyards
lit

by dawn's breaking sunlight...

chainmaille
enchantment

-<>--

shadows and echoes
indelible
portraits
ever revolving

pattern
unending

    ah but who really forgets...
    not continuous but indwelling none the less
    yes all is until end of tunnel lights
    perhaps but even more special is love lettered mail
    we all have ghosts who haunt the innermost places
    eternal is the spirits experience.

I can feel the curves and the bends in this poem. It's quite effective especially toward the end. The pace is in a good twist, too. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect choice of words and order of words. Reading your poem felt like dancing a waltz in a majestic mountain setting in a dream. A poem that transports the reader to a wonderful place.
