Well I think you've made a good stab for your first try. A very nice tribute to Crystal Gale. I like the use of the song titles as part of the lyrics to your poem.

Enjoyed,

Bobby

This was a bit of a different write from you.
I had some small issues with lines flowing into the next.
But thought that is how you intended it to be.

I know of this artist, have heard her sing and most of your lines did actually make me think of the artist...thus 5 star
Enjoyed reading it.

    Thanks for you kind review and time, Ine. Could you clarify the 4 star then, don't undestand.

    I really liked it but I wanted more but it was short and sweet so I thought I'd give four just on a more personal note. However it was good but I just wanted to read more and thought it should've been longer but the fact that it wasn't is okay too. So yea, your work is good, keep it up!

    considered, but thought it wouls get too long looking at the example under poetic dances.

Not sure the tribute or commemoration being made other than listing the song titles within a sentence. The angel of our exalting love was a slight oddity. I couldn't quite picture if the voice of the poem was part of a loving couple who may have had one of Gayle's songs inspiring them or whether this was something completely different.
Interesting never the less.
If this really is a commemoration to Gayle talents...her name is spelled wrong in the title.

Hi Ine,
i liked this heartfelt dedication to Crystal Gayle; very sentimental and lovingly written, as is clear.
however, i did struggle a bit with the flow. mayhaps a little
tinkering would make it sing. thank you for sharing, and bless you. warmly, eph.

p.s- typo in title 'cystal gayle'?

Although I appreciate your ode to Crystal Gale, I think the entire poem could be improved upon. I stumbled right off with the first line, which does not flow very smoothly, and
the rest is also a little "bumpy."
I know you can do better!

    Thanks for you kind review and time, Ine. Know it is not my best but not feeling that great and had set my mind on an ode for some time- no excuse.

A beautiful Oda honoring a country singer, possibly another piece on the same style has been captured in this beautiful poem.
I can imagine into music.
Excellent!
Congratulations!

Robina1978,

You have given Crystal Gayle well-deserved praise in this poem making it a proper ode. Nicely done; she is one of my favorite country singers.
