I find your poems to be inspiring and I know that I will learn so much from reading them. Thank you! 10+++

Mild, mellowed with so many beautiful rhymes, similies and metaphors...a great composition..............10

Lovely dreamy sounds in this! I'm not a fan of rhyme unless it has reason and here it works. This is the first of your poems that I've read and I shall come back for more.

Hi Lorraine - A nicely constructed poem! So many poems on PH lack Form - Metre - Rhyme so it is lovely to find a poem that has all three. A lovely subject (that we can all relate to) and five balanced quatrains. You maintain the a a b b pattern of rhyme throughout but you are not 'rhyme led' and include some delicate 'half rhymes' glass - cast and internal rhymes which help the flow (Venus slain to rise again) . The metre is good throughout. I believe one criterion of a good poem is its recitability - yours is excellent. Do you agree that Poetry is meant not only to be read but also recited - Poetry Readings are very cathartic! I love your poem because it is both positive and optimistic - so many of the posted poems are POESIE NOIRE! Your similes are wonderful - Rianbows - Venus - Stardust - Prisms - Diamonds - Sun & Moon - etc. The last two lines are beautiful 'Better my love to you before - Glows the morrow even more'. I have been married 51 years so I can empathise. I must score it MAX - Yours in poetry - John

What a joy your work is... soft, flowing, and so real. Warmest regards, CJ Heck
