Only You Dear Susan could capture this, and word this with such Awe, Beauty, and Tranquility! .. Amazing! .. I mean really like WOW! ..+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Great! Loved the tale of your little boat. A wonderful poem dear poetess. Top score
A very moving portrayal of life's journey showing everything is just ephemeral. Our life can be changed by fate or by our choices in life. Top Marks and to my favorites.
This magnificent poem transported me to various scenes; scenes that are poignant yet beautiful and a dream for a better tomorrow. A reader will never get tired going through this beautiful poem. So unforgettable.
What a beautiful poem adorned with crystalline images and touching poetic expressions. Line after line of beauty brought about by the wonders of nature tinged with sadness and a dream that uplifts one's soul.
Bri Edwards, I am sorry to hear that you sleep-walk--I have learned how to go to sleep sitting up on the couch--tis a wonderfully freeing experience And you don't risk jamming your toe into a chair leg! ! !
Magnificent write..... powerful indeed....thank u, dear poetess...
Wow, I love this…velvet peace…that term is like the diamond set in a ring, outstanding my forever friend
Indeed, Bill, we are each other's forever friend... met so many years ago over one of your first born poems... We've traveled many a rough sea together along with a number of happy successful days... let us make a pact to see many more years of poetry together---
Bill, yes... It pleases me that you found my just a little boat in a huge sea to your liking..yes--velvet peace someday but not soon... we have miles to travel and books to write... always your forever and ever friend
Indeed, Paradox of this existence, we all are tiny vessels drifting in this vast ocean and playing our role. Wonderful poem. Full ****
Thank you, dear Asim, you understand about these tiny vessels drifting out to sea...
'Lovely poem felt with deep resonance; I know this boat, these skies, this sea. Thanks for sending this to me.'---A. Alli
Thank you, Denis, for liking this so much that you shared it with a good friend --I am so sorry to hear that your friend is facing death but am heartened that he faces it with courage and 'still blazes with creativity'.... may you deal well with his passing, my dear friend
Susan, I sent this poem link to the (to me) legendary independent filmmaker Antero Alli. He faces a terminal illness but still blazes with creativity. I'm pasting in his response to your poem.
Thank you--it is very meaningful to me that you shared this with your beloved friend... you are a stunning friend to us all, Denis
OH, I loved the title to begin with, before reading the poem. ALSO, after reading it, though I HAD noticed commas or lack of them, I don't think I'd noticed ANY sentence-ending punctuation marks, AND THEIR ABSENCE CAUSED no PROBLEMS FOR ME, which is sometimes not the case in other poems. : )
Susan, I SO ENJOYED your poem, but my eyes already were tired, and NOW I may have to 'sleepwalk' to find my BED. Goodnight! ;) bri
To find my 'sailboat poem', just type 'sailboat' into the Search box and click 'Enter' on your keyboard. It's title is A Sailboat's Last Thoughts.......[human/Sailboat Nature; Drama; Weather]
Ahhh---I see you travel the high seas in a fancy sailboat----sigh... I am in a tiny rowboat that is missing its oars... I travel by Ocean Power to wherever the tide takes me--which is not all that different from traveling wherever the wind takes me...
BUT, Readers, I, Bri, did write a poem about a boat (& its first and its last owners) , a sailboat. Care to read it?
(cont.) I have written some serious poetry & a lot of humorous poems also. In the Soothing-Poetry category, I doubt I could match you.
Susan, This it T-R-E-M-E-N-D-O-U-S Poetry! ! ! ! 8 stars? Rats! I'm limited to giving 5, which I now have done.(cont.)
Wow, Bri! ! ! I am totally honored by you showering stars on 'Just A Little Boat in A Huge Sea' I am humbled because you are known for your literary high standards... so thank you for seeing worth in this piece!
line 6 (6, COUNTING UPWARD FROM THE LAST LINE) : 'while the quiet, gentle, waves undulated lulling me to sleep' I'd remove the comma in front of 'waves' but I'd place commas after 'undulated' and after 'sleep'. Agree? ?
Ever so Beautifully mesmerizing Dear! .. May you have an incredible journey! .. Definitely Beyond #ING! ..+++++++++++++++++Wow+++++++++++++++++++++++++
I swear you have the kindest heart I have ever seen on Facebook and its sites---thank you for your lovely encouraging words
