Ciao poet!
First off my heart goes out to you , a great loss at such a young age.
I saw the Hobbit for the first time in Dec 2021.
In Tolkien lore , the elves SAIL to Valinor , their equivalent of our heaven.
Love the idea that her last breath was what filled the sail and set the boat on its course to heaven.
A beautiful heartfelt poem.
Keep safe!

You have done a creative job with the prompt as this is a strong contest entry that I hope will do well.
I appreciate the prestación as it mirrors the sentiment left.
You have left a message of love, very inspiring.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
She was only 45 when you lost her? I'm so sorry that you missed so many years with her. She left quite an impression on you, as you are still writing such a beautiful tribute to her all these years later.
Beautiful words with a fitting image.

Yes, she was 45. I was 18. I did not fully appreciate all she poured into me, until I needed advice or direction and I would remember she said, "Go straight to the Bible." Many other things she taught me that I never used until I became a real adult. I felt like she was still guiding me. Thanks again for this sweet review!

Hello Tina,
You've written a beautiful eight word poem for your mom.
Memories grow stronger with time, as age provides perspective.
Perfect choice of art work to add to the gentleness of the words.
Nicely done.
Best wishes.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is so sweet and gentle as well as heartfelt. I love the sailing ship that represents your momma sailing to heaven.
Her dying breath is a gentle way of dealing with grief and missing her as we all miss our loved ones who have passed on.
Thank you for the lovely tribute to your mother!

Tina,
You've expressed a warm sentiment in eight words. Poems with limited words are very difficult to write. Your poem is beautiful and creative with just 8 words.
Good luck!
Blessings,
Cindy

How beautiful! My mom passed in 1987...
Much too young, too soon! Daughters never forget...
Eight words of love and remembrance.
So comforting!

This means a lot as you know how it feels. How old were you when your mom died? Daughters never do forget. Thank you for taking time to read and give me your thoughts!

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This a beautifully stated 8-word poem. Using the spelling "Momma" makes it seem more personal. The font size is large and easily read. The visual fits well. I just wish the big word FanArt Review wasn't plastered across the visual. That's no fault of yours. This is a good entry.
