A beautiful and creative dream.
The whole scenario of angels flying past, complete with feathers for painting is both alluring and evocative.
A very enjoyable read.

if i would change something in this poem it would be those crazy cursive words that are not so good to read for some reason, i like them in short pieces ... but as far as the words and the words, super imagery and imagination, i like the poem's fantasy affect, very captivating.

Your poem is very, very beautiful. The rhyming and meter is perfect and I love the pictures at the top. I'm not sure if I like the red font of the last stanza. Maybe a softer color would be more pleasing to the eye.

I am HONORED that you had time to rest and write, envision and create! You've captured the nuance of angelic artists in a way I couldn't imagine. I am thrilled to read your insightful words where the etheral touches of poetic prose grace your fingertips!

Thank you! You are so precious!

Again, this is really good. You should start sending these poems off for publication--first to spiritual magazines. I love the imagery; it was so comforting. You handle the abcb rhyme scheme well, except for the first stanza which ends up being bbcb; you might want to change that. I love the words "Heaven's Breath." In Hebrew, the word "ru'ah" means "spirit, breath, and wind," and I think your poem could apply to all three. What a meaningful work, especially to me at this time in my life.

    Hi Alvin,
    I'm glad I wrote something that soothed your wounds a little. Those words touch my heart. Having readers tell me I brighten their day brightens mine too.Because you are a friend and someone I think highly of your words mean even more.

    I know my first verse is out of sync with the rest of the poem, but I love the way it describes my feelings. If I can think of something that falls into the abcb rhyme scheme I'll replace the words with something that fits. I am extrememly honored you think I should send some of my poems out for publication.

    Suneagle of FS ( Les Stephenson) has already published two of my nature poems in his E-magazine "The Muse Marquee". He saw my poem of the month here and aked me if he could publish it. I was extremely honored as he is still one of the top reviewers here. I didn't receive any money, but I was thrilled he thought so highly of my work.
    I haven't sent anything out to any publisher yet, that's new territory for me. I don't know quite what to do or how it's done?

    Anyways, Thanks for the wonderful inspiring review my friend.

    Hugs and Smiles,
    Nancy

Magic, to say the least. This is a spectacular poem to associate with the aurora borelesis. The flow and rhyme were exceptional and the descriptions of angels as handmaidens of aurora's smile is brilliant poetic expression. Fantastic job, Helvi. I loved this poem and the imagery you presented. Joyce
