You have made this photograph so meaningful to me. I lost my husband 3 weeks ago and your words have meant do much especially as you used my picture thank you.

Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss. I know this must be a difficult time for you.
I am so moved by your response to my poem. Also very humbled and happy that my words have given you some comfort during this trying time. It is so rare for a writer to read that someone was touched so personally by words they have written. I will never forget your response.
I chose your photo when selecting this poem that I penned a couple of years ago to be included in a book of poems. My original selection photo selection had long since gine and I was looking for a replacement and found your beautiful photo. I just felt it was a perfect complement to my work. Your beautiful comments certainly confirmed that.
If you are interested this poem was turned into a song. I have a recording made by some folks in Nashville who put a tune to it after I added a refrain to the lyrics. If you would like me to send you a copy just send me your email.
All the very best
John

Lovely really. The image of walking beside the lake - of the eyes - all those elements play well into your poem. I like "when I became we" - good phrase. Well done.

Hi John, Everyone is writing these really lovely, touching, farewell poems. Is everyone going somewhere? Is there an apocalyptic event I don't know about? In any case... it's beautiful... :)

..let me tell you what you mean to me... Yep, this got me. This is a beautiful poem. Sad and yet not sad somehow. I like this rhyme scheme you chose and of course, the subject. This sounds deeply personal which also grabbed me. Lovely presentation, sir. I had a hell of a busy, yet fun day. I was getting ready to shut down the laptop and dig into another NFL playoff game with a large cocktail. Then I saw your message letting me know that you had posted. Alright. One more read for the day. I'm glad I did. It kind of calmed me down which I needed. Thank you for sharing. Well done! Lynda

I am indeed late to the Thanksgiving table Lynda. However I offer you my humblest thanks for I am indeed grateful for your most flattering comments and the accompanying sixer. :)
I took this verse and added some refrain to create a song. I had some folks in Nashville add a melody and pull some local musicians into a studio to create a demo tape on MP3.
If you would like to hear it I would be happy to send you a copy.
Best
John

I enjoyed your contest entry, Lordinajamjar. Your rhymes are good and your lines flow smoothly. You message is clear, too. I like your image choice as it reminds me of the village in your poem. Best wishes. Respectfully, Jan
