Great message. Short but sweet poem with a great selection of words. Short poems like this are not easy to do but you seem to have handled it rather easily. Great job.

I think you did a great job with this style.
I don't have the talent for such writing so it is a joy to read a poem from someone who does.
I love Harry Chapin.
Such a wonderful storyteller taken from us too soon.
Great work!
Michael

Hi Michael; thank you so much for your awesome review. What a nice compliment - I love to write prose, but I've developed a new passion for poetry.

Very well written. Since joining this site a few weeks ago I have found myself falling in love with so many different forms of poetry. I find that writing is now so much easier when you have to follow a specific form. Saying that, this seems like a particularly complicated form. So very well done on your lovely "Sapphonic Triad" poem.

Hi; thank you so much for reading and reviewing this piece. I have been studying the different poetic forms on here for awhile. I hadn't written much poetry since high school so I gave it a whirl. Now, I'm hooked!

I love the title and the quote you chose speaks volumes.
I'm not familiar with this poetic form but you seem to have mastered it as I read your instructions in your notes.

Excellent last line.

Well done

Blessings
Janet.

I do not know how you poets do this. I used to write poetry when I was a teenager. When I had some fake angst. I didn't know that then. Anyway, I can not keep up with all the forms. It is amazing. Great job.

Hi Heidi; I don't really consider myself a poet - I just 'dabble.' But, on the other hand, my poems have been received well. Who knows, maybe a prose writer can write poetry? Thank you for stopping by to read and review,

In my opinion, a simply beautiful poem - without regard for the style or form, I find this work particularly relatable. I love its sentiment and fluid movement, "in my Better place"...

Patty,
This is a great presentation. Everything works well--the colors, the art, the style, & the super message. This form can be daunting. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing. Jan

I like this, especially the line, 'here in my better place.' I love Harry Chapin's music. I think love will always find it's vibrational match. Blessings...

Unusual picture. Certainly makes you think. A good question, can you search for love if you are hiding your heart? On the other hand if you wear your heart on you sleeve does that make it easier? MaggieF

Hi Maggie - you've posed some great questions. I think it words either way, but you always have to be open to love should it come your way. I appreciate your time to read and review. Thank you for your encouragement,
