Hi Sue,
Special moments shared silently with a certain person. A very soothing poem. I read it a couple of times and noticed there are a couple of places where rhymes pop up, but I'm guessing this is merely coincidental. For example-rush and us, and later time possibly with define (but that would require "it" to be dropped. Anyway, just observations.
I liked your poem.

Sometimes rhymes are coincidental, but a lot of times, when I see some words which can be transposed to create that rhyme or close rhyme, I like to do that. I really starting to like free verse, but I also want it to be read aloud and feel and sound good to the reader. Hopefully, I can continue to do this! Fingers crossed. Thank you so much for your very kind review and lovely words. With regards, Sue
Comment from Roisin
A beautifully written poem. I love the short lines and the way you blend your words to make the poem flow beautifully. I would love to be able to write poetry like this. You've made me realise that poetry can be beautiful without rhyme. I love it.

Roisin, I am SO smiling here! I only recently started to write poetry and kept to the formats. And didn't care for free verse. But, without reading other's free verse, I just took advantage of my own, deep inner thoughts on something one night and just wrote. And it was so liberating.
I would encourage you to try to do the same. I have done 2 so far. (not pushing for a review at all.... for you to possible be encouraged, read my other one called, "Is It Possible". I am like you: I like the short lines. Reads well and when you write that way, you get very selective with your word usage.
Of course, I still love the strict format and rhyming poems. It's just that free verse is another beautiful way to express.
Thanks so much for your most generous review and lovely comments.
Sue
Comment from Joan E.
You started your love poem with strong alliteration, which continues with "s's" and "r's" throughout, and great word choices: "sojourn" and "replete".
My favorite stanza was number eight with "Not to be named in this stolen time..."--very evocative.
Thanks for sharing this lovely work with the wonderfully fitting picture.

I knew you had the talent for free verse and I can see you decided to prove it to the world... good for you! This is just beautiful and so graceful. You really need to continue on this path and explore where it takes you dear because there is more in you, you have a gift for free verse, I can see it in you. A solid five stars without hesitation! I have no doubt that you have a six star free verse in you though... I await to see it soon! Hugs, Suzi

Susan, I've got to find "that place" to write these. They are exhausting!!! Aren't they??? Thank you so much for your continued encouragement, as I do love writing like this. It's a total high when I'm doing it. I thank you for your most kind review and lovely compliments. With warmest regards, Sue

Sue... that six is going to come straight from your heart... so whereever that place is that you decide to write it, make sure it is a place your heart is not afraid to speak. Don't misunderstand me, I am not saying it will be one about love, it doesn't need to be about love, it can be about anything your heart deems is important. But that six will be about something that really matters to you and the reader will see the depth in your words and will instantly know the poem was written from your heart and soul... that my friend is what will bring in the sixes!

Let's just say that I can only explain on PM - HA!!! The velvet glove came out of the closet! You are a BAD influence. If only you knew what was written in between those lines! Ha!! I am now finding out that one does need a "muse". Very glad you liked it! ;-)) Suc

Dear Poetic Friend, your review has gone straight to my heart!! I was so insecure about writing free verse, but (hee hee) I'm lovin' it! Wow, what a feeling. I swear, when I wrote these two free verses, I don't know where my mind went. What a high! I thank you for all your most wonderful compliments on this work. Hand to heart... Sue

Reggie! You didn't come her like a thief in the night for my pennies! HA! Your feeble mind really liked this! I'm overjoyed. Thanks so much for this awesome review with all your very specific comments. Loved your comments on the narration. Very helpful for me to keep that in mind in future free-verse! With great respect, Sue

Very nice work Nic.
The solemmn silence of two hearts beating as one in an unexpected moment should be treasured like a fine jewel. You have captured that moment and described it wonderfuly in this work.
Sincerely,
Curt
