you have written this piece with a beautiful music in its poetic sounds. I liked reading this piece as it was so easy to read.It just flowed off of my tongue like ambrosia. This was a very beautiful piece of poetic art to have read and reviewed... John

Hi Helvi. I've missed reading your poetry over the last few months. This is a beautiful pastiche with some stunning imagery. Good luck with this

    Hi my friend, I remember you saying, "When I see a Helvi poem I know it's going to be special." Kinder words were never spoken. I've always felt honored by your reviews. I'm so happy to hear from you again. Bless You, Helvi :o)

I think that you did a beautiful job with or without the inspiration of another person's works. Your poem was rich in thought and imagery. Very well done.

This is so spiritual and wonderful. You certainly were able to get the message across in a most powerful way. I believe you should win the contest. But, alas, there are a couple of things...

you now", the----comma inside quotation marks

"Please! Don't! Wait!", --no comma needed here
good job and best of luck

I wonder if we will know right away if we have passed. Will we wander some not believing? And will we feel that we have the right to enter Heaven even though we know God is all forgiving? Lots to think about. joan marie

ooooooooooh! I LOVE THIS
Wish I could give it a six star review but alas, I cannot.

You have captured the essence of the original poem and added your unique flavor!
Do you know the artist of the photo used? I really like that one!

    Hi Jewel, DO I KNOW THE ARTIST OF THE PHOTO? How soon they forget. IT"S YOU SILLY!!!! I couldn't think of a better image than this. You wrote a very pretty poem for me using this very photo. I saw it at FA and fell n love with it. I think it was a perfect fit. Thank you for the wonderful review my friend. I am so happy I got to use one of your photos to complete it. Thank you for thinking it deserves a six. You have made my day!!! Congratulations for being a nominee for poem of the month. You definately deserve the honor. Hugs, Helvi
