A beautiful and tender poem. Great write. Andrew x

I have to agree with everything Denis has said. It's all there - the wonder, the tenderness, the acceptance, and the knowingness that love changes the way we see the whole world. A rose colored poem written in humility and truth. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

'I love you. You shake my heart' Ernestine, this is beautiful and those lines serve as a poem in their own right. The feel to this is warm and gives emotions as a matter of fact. You might feel that readers would emapathise. There is nothing wrong with that but, for me there is so much more, written and composed here than just that feeling of 'I know what Ernestine is saying'. For me it is poems such as this that make me understand Lenin's feeling on Beethoven's Appassionataq. he said that it made him forget the horrors of the world and want to just pat everyone on the head. The world needs that as much as the individual needs to breath.

I have to stand shoulder to shoulder with that most percipient of commentors, dear Allie, and add that you've captured a great deal of the magic of the situation in this, and that is a truly difficult thing to do. Daring and brilliant. Goes straight to the crux of the matter, the writing is fluidly eloquent and the content is right on the money. Has the reader shaking too.290 points! ! Loved this Ernestine! xx jim

Ernestine - this is one of your finest pieces. So simply told, so deeply felt. One to savour again and again. love, Allie xxxx
