Dear Mystery Writer,
*smile* Sounds like you were a soft, romantic spirit from the very beginning - it's clear that reading others like the poet you mention, put you further into that frame of mind. And I'm glad they did - for we, your readers, get to enjoy pieces like this!
Thanks so much!

This is very well written, flows beautifully, and your notes are informative.
Your illustration, of course, pairs with your notes. It is an excellent entry for the contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem in answer to the poem about the girl in the gray beret that touched your heart and were compelled to write the other side of the story from a girl's point of view.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I don't know Pablo Neruda, but I'm going to look him up. This poem of yours has so much lovely imagery in the lines, it's hard not to be taken in to enjoy. I was going to pick out my favourite lines, but each stanza stands out begging to be chosen. It's impossible. You've written a lovely ode to her and it was such a pleasure to read. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Hi Sandra, maybe after you read some of Neruda's poems we could chat. I had such a great ispiratioal soul.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Writing this type of poem is very difficult when you write it about yourself. You wrote it about another person; I love the look of a beret; it brings the beauty of sassiness to surface.

Comment from Boogienights
This is a lovely poem, a little like a dream being told. Oft I remember a tall young man I knew in school, who invades my thoughts at odd times. Thank you for sharing this dream.

Dolly, your review to my poems, for your love and attention to my lines.
Comment from Jasmine Girl
I'm big fan of Pablo Neruda, too. I love his love poems. I like your descriptions:
rose petal hands.
my verses caught burning fire.
soft, like keeping a hush, autumn leaves nested in your heart.
Well done.

You did such a fabulous job with this blank verse poem! I really saw the love conveyed to the quiet girl with the passionate fire kindled by poetry! I hope you do well in the contest. Virtual six!
Loved the Neruda poem, too - had to look it up after you mentioned it.
