Thanks for the excellent review and your comments supporting this poem. This format is my own invention, I wanted a subtle, interlocking rhyme scheme, and a more natural, conversational flow to the language. Glad you enjoyed it! estory

Thank you for sharing your interpretation of the Celtic rose sonnet. I enjoyed your rhymes and conversational tone and especially liked your "bird" analogy. Cheers- Joan

Thank you so much for the excellent review and for all your comments supporting this poem, I am glad you enjoyed it, it was fun to write. But ladies are always inspiring. The celtic rose, an interlocking rhyme scheme, is my own invention. I wanted something echoing, but subtle. estory

Many kudos--I did not realize that the form is your creation. Very well done! Have a pleasant weekend as well- Joan
Comment from Ulla
Hi there, I really liked to read this wonderful poem. The imagery is outstanding and you just took me along with you. This is the best I can do. I know so little about meter and structure but I do like to read and enjoy. And that's what I did with yours. All the best. Ulla:)))

Comment from Janilou
I know precious little about poetry rhyme schemes but I do know this has beautiful and vivid descriptions that made it a pleasure to read.
My favorite lines:
Something like a mother's careful embrace
Wrapping the dreams of children through the night,
Until dawn breaks softly the midnight blue,
And sunlight illuminates everything;
No spelling errors that I could see.
All the best,
Jan

Thank you for the excellent review and for all your wonderful comments supporting the poem. I am glad you enjoyed it, and that the poem seemed to work. The celtic rose rhyme scheme is my own invention, I wanted something intricate and subtle. most sonnets are in this traditional abab or abba rhyme scheme with a couplet at the end. estory
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A beautifully written dedication and my favourite lines were:
Flowers they picked from your green, garden space,
Music filling the air for our delight,
Like a bird that found its wings and flew
In a moment of joy and blessed grace
A joy to read, love Dolly x

Thank you for the excellent review and for all the comments supporting this poem. I liked the opening the best, and the closing, but readers surprise you sometimes. I kind of thought Snow would be more popular, and promoted it that way, but look what happened. estory
Comment from Asem.inspirations
Ohhhhhhh my, my, my! Estory, this is a very, very special poem. I don't think I have read anything like this love poem by you. You normally don't write the love or romance poetry. But...this poem is so eloquently marvelous. Even while reading it, I feel in love with the words and it felt so right, so lovely so everything. I am so upset that I don't have a six to give this poem because it deserves ten stars. It has a magical effect. Splendorus!

Thank you so much for this excellent review and for all these gracious comments supporting this poem. The support this one got, after I had thrown so much promotion into Snow, was a little surprising for me, but I am glad so many people enjoyed it. it was fun to write. But women are always inspiring. This girl, especially estory

Comment from rama devi
This is exquisite! What a beautiful form. Musical, nuanced and richly portrayed. Lovely rhymes. Lovely tone and tenor, lovely pacing. I enjoyed reading this aloud.
Favorite lines:
Playing your guitar, dreaming something new,
Like the flowers opening in the spring;
AND
Where even strangers can find their respite,
Feeling their hearts washed clean as morning dew.
*One suggestion:
Flowers they picked from your green,(NO COMMA) garden space,
Just lovely!
Enjoyed.
Warmly, rd
