Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear

Man's greatest search love; poet's search for love ends here, the journey to love poet finds, here is in the better place, heart on the sleeve and the journey ends; I liked and enjoyed the sensitive read.

unfortunately some search their entire lives and never find it, some find fools gold and end of divorced and those who keep there hearts hidden because they are afraid of being hurt run the risk of missing out too. It can be a treacherous road BUT one worth traveling : ) Cool poem !

This poem gave me some pause to think. On one hand, I sense a desire to love and be loved but on the other, there's some question if it's possible. Seems the final tercet implies that it's important to mentally be in the right place first.

Thank you for showing us how it is done. I will soon challenge myself with some of these other forms of poetry. I am learning a lot here in Fan Story. I appreciate lesson such as the one you have given. This Sapphonic Triad is really something I NEVER heard of but of course, you did an excellent job.

Hi; thank you for this review of my sapphonic triad. I guess the poetic form is one that was created here on FanStory, but I liked the challenge of it. Have you gone to shadowpoetry.com? They have all of the accepted forms of poetry, along with the requirements of the poetic form. They even give you examples, so you can work on creating your own.

Here in my Better place"

Hi Marilyn; thank you for your time to read and review this poem. You're right - I have found that better place. I've been living here for over thirty-three years, and it has made all the difference in my life. Your kind words are a blessing,

Yes, no doubt this is a challenging poetry format.
I liked the subject you chose.
Many can relate as they search and wait for love. It flows well and is evocative.

Your warm words of encouragement are wonderful. This poem was truly inspired by my thoughts of Harry Chapin and his words.

Love... We all want it. It's a God given right. How to find it? Does it find us? Plan love?

You accomplished a complicated subject in a short poem. Well thought out and nicely written. Great quote. Nice work.

Well done. I am still getting a handle on different forms in poetry. No spags and the artwork as good as well. Hoping to get another chapter of my biography up soon. Take care.

Hi; thank you so much for taking the time to read and review. I've challenged myself to write poems in different poetic forms, and I'm finding that I enjoy writing poetry almost as much as I enjoy writing prose.

Hi Jill; thank you for your warm and thoughtful review of this piece. Yes, some people don't find love when they first seek it, but if they are open to it, love will find them,

Hi Patty, this does look like a challenging format, but you did a great job with the syllables, and rhyme. Finding love can sometimes be a long journey.

Hi Mel; thank you so much for your thoughtful review. The poetic form was challenging, but I loved putting the puzzle of words together. When it turned out the way it did - I was happy to see my message shine through. The reaction seems to be that most people, like you, saw what I meant, so I'm very happy,
