The picture proves a strong pairing with the poem as the swans swin in the glow of the low lights in the background. Lovely use of repetition and the words set a warm mood

Is there a SEVEN in the house...!
-Cheers Victor;
-I always considered myself a poetical lyricist but this is the best poem that really describes a poetical lyricist than anything else.
-The tempo of this poem radiates I've been writing lyrics for over 55 years and over 40 songs recorded and published. Two songs made the top one hundred in 1984. So when I read something like this I want to put my hooks into it. Or least learn the style that's written so beautifully.
-It moves with feeling both Impressionistically simple and definitively and expressively complicated or complex. The complex is the way it's moves.
-The repetitive words and some of the verses help show the feeling more than anything.
-The historical reference of the environment is beautifully written and described in expressed in ways that really set the mood.
-The pictures beautiful and adds to the poem both suggestively and really. And it is very supportive and relative to the conceptual theme.
-Is the way you ended the shows the personal aspects of the human desire of a romantic situation.
-Thanks for sharing, Victor, and take care and have a good one.
Alex

This was very musical, Victor, it had such rhythm that made it so nice to read. The imagery jumps delightfully, the tilt of the moon, the locket filled with snow, and many more to make this a very good poem to read. Well done. Sandra xxx

I liked the repetitions, the rhythm of this piece, it read very much like lyrics set to music. It has a definite pattern, a definite musical rhythm. some of the images popped too..."An old locket in my pocket I'm gonna fill with snow" "The tilted moon" make this scene seem magical. estory

"So...so the Lights are Low", is an extremely well-written and semi-erotic piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Victor,

I never, ever know what I will find when I open one of your posts. *smile* And I like that. This felt a bit more like a bluesy old song than a poem to me. I fell myself kinda swaying to the rhythm of it. It kinda got lost in the middle somewhere but came sliding back in the end. Sweet! Thanks!

A wonderful sentimental poem, with an excellent presentation. The photo is lovely, and the lavender background is, too. I like the repetitive lines in the piece. It sets up a gentle, caring feel to it. The title is superb and lets us know, what to expect with the poem. Very nice and well written. Thanks for sharing your sentimental side.
Take care, Jesse
