Comment from Margaret Snowdon
i stand alone at the waters edge
but i don't enter
for some reason i smile
as i trace your name
in the sand
embers of Lenore
this is the first I've read of your work, Michael..
and I must say you have a wonderful way with words...
I just love this - so touching - it's no wonder you
won the contest - congratulations, my friend.

Comment from Lylise
You're really a hopeless romantic, aren't you? This is so touching and your imagery (again) just rocks. I believe you are one of the better free verse writers on this site. I read this several times and just got sadder and sadder. Very effective. All the women in my past are named Lenore. Ha! Like an old car, eh? LMAO!! Well done, Sparky. Lynda

well, it saves me a lot of trouble as none of my exes are enemies. so Lenore means no one knows who is who. also if one asks is that about me I can say "sure darlin'..." not that I would ever do that of course. mike

You crack me up. Hurry up and post something else so I can review it. I've been bored to death and reviewing and writing and posting all day. There's a lot of....well...pooh pooh out there so something relatively sane would be welcome. Chop chop. :)

try "He Was My Father". 88 big cents lucky lep. and all that. would love to know what you think. very strait forward. mike

This was a cool poem my friend. Like others you've done and I've read, you chose your subject well. You homed in on it with words that easily convey your thoughts and feelings to your readers. This is really good my friend.
Always with respect,

Comment from Jane Johnson
Very nicely said Michael. It all made so much sense in such a different way of saying it. You're not hopeless. You know what it's about, this poetry thing. Keep up the good work. Winning is motivating. Every single words of this poem knew where it would end up; a name in the sand. Cool! jane

Comment from Lovinia
Hi Michael
Congratulations on your win. A fine effort amidst some good poems. Excellent free verse of lost love. You strike a poignant note with your poem which evokes strong emotions in the reader. Your line spacing is very effective. I enjoyed your alliteration in "pour/pail". A painful experience for you as love does to many f us ... it sure has a bitter bite. Well done for Donna. Lenore lost out.
Your final line sums it all up perfectly. Fabulous presentation. Warm Regards - Lovinia xoxo

Hi Michael
You deserved your win. A great free verse. I had a difficult time choosing between yours and Starting Again. Some good poems in the contest, so kudos to you. Bask in the glory, it's always exciting to be a winner. :)) Hugs - Lovi xoxox

that's what really happened but, it didn't make for much of a poem. hahaha
Comment from joneau2
Sadness oozes from every word over the apparent loss of a loved one, and the memories of same. May I ask why the last paragraph is misworded as such (intentional)? Did you mean not to capitalize the word I?

yes. all intentional. small i just a little illustration of feeling small and insignificant. thank you so much.

most curious to ask. in what way is the last paragraph misworded? I looked at it and wasn't sure what you were referring to. thank you if you have the time to give it a look see.
Comment from amanda98653
A beautiful, creative piece that talks about lost love. An exceptional use of metaphor (coals).Love could very much be like fire, burning so bright at times. The addition of coals make it last longer, but love can get so uncontrollable. The more you add, the harder it is for you to calm it down.
