I really enjoyed your Kyrielle.
the rhyme and meter are well done
and the repeating line is beautiful.
the speaker wishes to let go of a life
of pain and reach heaven..."to seek the light
and sing stars' song.
Beautiful.

Sad, but beautiful in the way that it's written. Great alliteration, "And let me blaze, in blue, tonight
To seek the light, and sing stars' song" Also you show the age of the person in "feathered, quav'ring voice" Yet, the true personality of iron-will is deep within. Great stuff!!! Les

Sharyn, this is a beauty, like you. I hope it is not about you right now but when you get old like some of us. Any way, it is a keeper. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and would like a copy of it. But, I am away from home and printer. You are a great writer and I am proud that you are my friend. Your admirer, Bob

    Not about me, Bob, I'm happy to say. No, I wrote this one for both my mother (82) and my mother-in-law (95). My mother is still hale and hearty, but becoming frail and I can hear her losing her words. My mother-in-law has always been a pistol, but I can see and her her growing tired. I know you know exactly what I mean, and I thank you so much for loving this piece and, of course, for your wonderful 'six'!

    Blessings and many thanks my dear friend!

Enjoyable. Your word choice is very picturesque yet closely connected to emotion as well. The words exude the wisdom of age and spirituality. Good job:)

    thx Brumar - bless you - hopefully with age comes spirituality - otherwise the picture is not a happy one! :)S

A catching title and a matching beautiful general layout. I have never seen one where all the last lines were repeated but it is allowed. And it possibly is the strongest line.

Nice kyrielle, Sharyn. I tried one of these once and found it quite difficult. I do like the message in this, that we go to the light, we go home.

Lots of depth, and very thought provoking.

Wow a thought-provoking poem, Sharyn. I hope this is a fictional character and not you, my friend. It sounds like a person with significant health issues. Very moving.

regards, Jen

    I wrote this one with my mother in mind, Jen - also my husband's mother who is 95 and getting tired of living, but still full of "life" - it's hard to watch. thanks so much for reviewing, as always! :)Sharyn

I thought about the fact that we are made of stardust and that one day will go back to the stars. From a star born, to a star will go back. From dust to dust. Nice poem as always.

Hi Sharyn,
this had one of those melodic verses that made it easy to just flow it down the page to the end. Your repeated line was a snorter
'To seek the light,and sing star's song' absolutely beautiful, when I go I want it to be just like this.
Kindest thoughts,
James xx
