Beautiful! You make the words come alive. You should find a illustrator and make a wonderful book! Children and adults would love this, Brooke!

As always your use of the English language to describe a scene or emotion is quite beautiful. I missed reading your poetry while I was off line moving. And all though I should be unpacking, I couldn't resist a little temptation to read your work again. It is truly a joy to be able to read your words once more.

Brooke,
You've done it again. I think you could put all this together and make an amazing and wonderful youthful fantasy book. I think there is another one I haven't read yet. Love it.

Great poem, descriptive, flowing verse and wonderful imagery. This has always been my favourite form and the iambic pentameter gives a great rhythmn. I shall look forward to the next Part. Well done.

This continues in beautiful woodland style! I love the imagery you create with words like buttermilk, organza and saffron-the scene is so vividly portrayed. Also, it's like a little world you've created, where the characters are hoping for peace, (just like you!) :)

I feel like every review I write for one of your poems is redundant. How many different ways can I tell you how much I enjoy them?

    Fred, redundancy is allowed when the comments are good :-) LOL Thank you, my friend. Brooke

This work has reached the exceptional level

Brooke, this second part is even better than the first (I can't wait to see the final two stanzas). You have so many great lines and images (and written within such formal rules of meter and rhyme), such as:

"Each maiden wore a frock of spider's silk
that shimmered in the gleaming sun's caress"

Stunning imagery and word usage!
Very enjoyable to read. Thanks.
-Lee
