Ah, Madam, please do forgive me for this rather delayed response ( a follower as I duly am, above all !! ) ... Had been a bit too 'plagued' of late, with all those academic enterprises reigning forth ! LOL .....

Nevertheless, Wonderfully done! Most Admirably have you rendered this sagacious poem - indeed like a connoisseur in every sense....

Fraught in plausible touches of artistic symbolism, I can't help admiring the sheer mastery of articulate diction, you so brilliantly chose to employ in this tender piece - the choicest use of symbolic imagery in just three tiny lines, truly deems commendable appraisal ; For the employment of so few words, you manage to say so much indeed - and herein, I conjecture, thrives your beseeming greatness as a poet - the lofty message in the poem rings out in vociferous clarity. Scarcely have I words enough to commend you ....

In the face of its inevitable limitations, (it being a '5-7-5' poetry sequence), the unbridled flow of poetic expression tends to "glide" on, effortlessly yet - an attribute which in itself seems challenging enough for any writer of poetry to achieve .... Your work thus pleases me all the more ; I adore it ! ...

Hence, to infer precisely, there persists a somewhat latent sense of 'intriguing profoundness' around this enigmatic work of yours, which pleases me the most and deserves my fondest appraisal ...
Well done Madam .... three cheers to you!

Too impeccable you are, I guess, with this specific poetic genre, to even require a modest review ! In the course of my rather brief sojourn here at FS, I have chanced to come across many 5-7-5 s, but yours, for lack of a proper word, stands simply unrivaled ! I would've glorified it with even more stars, had they been available .... Outstanding work ! You are but to win this one for sure ( ay, beloved Lady, mark my words here !!) ;)

    Oh, please, don't thank me I beg ; for it was much to my own elated pleasure that I availed the opportunity of coming across such a wonderful poetic piece. Hence,on the contrary, it is rather I who ought to extend my overwhelming thankfulness to you for your kind appreciation of my much erroneous review...! Thank you so much, Carolyn, for this most affable bounty. You are but one of a Kind ! :)

    Oh, and by the way, dear Carolyn, do you, in any case, happen to enjoy opera ? - Have you ever heard of Mario Lanza, or even, Richard Tucker ? - 'tis just for curiosity's sake that I ask .... :)
reply by the author on 10-Jun-2013
    I do love Opera, Pavarotti is one of my favorites. And yes I enjoy Mario Lanza, he died so very young. Richard Tucker, I haven't followed him as much, but they were both extremely talented. Have a good night, my new friend. Carolyn
reply by Sagnik Das on 10-Jun-2013
    Well, Carolyn, I'm already engrossed, listening to the great Lanza, my most favorite tenor, reeling enchantingly under the thrilling impact of his majestic voice, as I presently dress for bed .... Good night, dear friend ; sweet dreams to you !

Very clever with the multiple meanings of cloud. All three lines can stand on their own yet work well together. Good assonance with sky and shine, alliteration with clouds cover. Good contest entry.

Clouds cover the sky
Emotions cloud good judgment

This is an excellent 5/7/5, Carolyn!

The repetition of the word "cloud" in all three lines places emphasis and creates impact. Absolutely perfect photo to accompany your poem ... with the sunshine peaking through ... "sunshine dispels cloud".

This is deserving of six stars. Had I any left to give, there would be one here with your name on it for this write. A very good entry for the contest! Best wishes to you in that regard.

Carolyn... I like the journey of emotions you take the reader through in so few short words. Sometimes I know, I hastily make decisions through the emotion of the moment, summa good-summa bad.
Good luck in the contest. John
