What a beautiful reflective poem of memories of your mother and grandmother. You captured this feeling very well and the photo is perfect. Great job. Patti :)

wow, very nice and created a tear in this ones eyes also. Isn't it nice though that they are still with us in our hearts and memories. Hopefully we can hold those forevermore and not be robbed of them by some dreaded disease. Nice job, glad you were rewarded!

Considering your intent, at getting across the memory of loss, I think you did really well. There were no mistakes, nothing to hold back the piece. Really good stuff.

This poem is so touching and written beautifully. The photo works well with the poem and your rhymn and rhyme is consistent all through the poem. I felt your emotion and it could bring one to tears. I love the way you include the little things that we have when we are younger and I believe that anyone could relate to this poem--you did a great job.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This poem tells a simple story of love and the joy of the simple things in life...the things that touch ones heart and is remembered forever. The last two lines remind us that the ones we love are always with us.

Well done!

This seems like a dedication to your mother and
grandmother. Remembering the past can be a sad,
but beautiful experience. I liked how you
emphasized the little things in life that you
did with them both.

I liked your rhyme scheme and the rhythm
of this heartfelt poem.
However,
to me, this part seemed a little cliched:
"Made me happy, not so sad"

Aside from that, I fully enjoyed this poem.

The simplicity of the poem is nice. There is a clear and sincere message of dedication and love.

The off-rhymes work best in this poem:
"life/time" "names/dreams"; they add a soft, tender feeling.

The full-rhymes are too strong "sad/had" "dear/tear"and can be distracting adding a nursery rhyme quality to an other wise, lovely poem.

Overall a good poem.

This is a good poem, but the rhyme scheme is off, and I found that jarring. The last four lines don't follow the abcb pattern you've got going, instead, they are abca. With such a short piece a single misplaced rhyme throws the whole thing askew.

'As I wander from time and space' is a heart-wrenching and nostalgic piece. This talented poet wears his heart on his sleeve in this work. It's a privilege to review a poem of this caliber.
