Comment from June Sargent

Excellent

We do need to slow down now and then to allow our souls to refresh themselves. To wrap ourselves in silken comfort seems like just what we would need. Very appealing piece.

Thanx, June, for such an encouraging review! :) We do all need a place of shelter from the comments and the harshness that life can be sometimes and even if that's just silence and another's breathing, that's good, too. :) :) May sunshine and solace find you this week, my lady! ;) Yvette

Very nice imagery used here Yvette I really like the words you chose as well. Great image to choose from. I especially like the choice of words in your first two lines Silken Whispers. Nicely done

Lovely poem to look at and matches the picture in form and color scheme! We all need a "quiet refuge" for our tired and world-weary spirits. Great presentation!

Your seamless words provide shelter! I relished your artful presentation with the ethereal image and matching gradation of colorful text. Your addition of alliteration was very effective as well. Best wishes in the 5-Line Poem competition- Joan

love the words you've chosen. . . very sensual, even for a jaded soul. :)
The artwork is lovely too but I'm not sure how it supports the verse. . .maybe it's just me. Best of luck to you in the contest.

This is unique and so beautiful. I love how you've added the turquoise color down the center of your white lines. It's a striking effect. I think you're going to do well in the contest!

Wow, Janet - thank you!! Your comments and those lovely stars are certainly a bright spot to all the gray that seems to hover around here these days...sigh. :) ;) Seriously, though, I am truly glad you enjoyed this one... we do all need a place of shelter from the comments and the harshness that life can be sometimes and even if that's just silence and another's breathing, that's good, too. :) :) Thanx again, my lady -- and may sunshine and solace find you this week! ;) Yvette

Well done, Yvette. I always enjoy the presentation of your verses with the black backgrounds and colored font. A lovely contrast. Your verse is perfect and flawless and I know it will do well. Good luck.
