Wonderful and captivating. I felt sadness and then hope. To put your love out there and know that in some way, even in a small way that it positively affects someone else is wonderful.

The author's words are promising, hopeful, clear, descriptive and creative.
As I read this poem, I thought about the song "You are my Sunshine"!
I found serenity in the words of this poem. The artwork is perfect and
compliments both the theme and words of this poem.

I like the rhythmic flow and rhyming pattern of the stanzas of this poem. Currently, I'm trapped in my cloudy hours due to physical conditions. I'm waiting for the sun. I can relate to the message of your poem, and find it inspirational. My daughter is flying in to see me in two weeks. That will be my prize. Thanks for this poem.

Your poem is excellent in every respect--skillfully and creatively written and vividly and movingly descriptive of the power of real friendship to lift our sagging spirits.

Interesting rhyme scheme, and I like the way you use it. Your rhymes work well.
I appreciate the optimism in your poem and, after the disappointing news Leah got today, I could use a little optimism.
The picture and accompanying saying you chose work perfectly with your poem.

This poem, Sharing the Gift of Sunshine, makes me think that we can always make it bas long as one of us can see a hopeful sight and share it with others.

Friendship is special (and harder to find these days,) you do a great job displaying this. I love the picture and quote you chose with this poem. As someone still learning poetry with rhyming your writing shines and I truly enjoy reading your work.

Thank you! This just came out of me and I thought the first stanza looked ok so I made the 2nd one similar format, then the last 2 lines fell into place as a closer. With a few major tweaks and a minor twiddle, and there we have it.

An extension of the battle against the black dog, this poem offers a possible cure. The important thing iis tgat it has to be the sufferer who finds it. Others, however well meaning, cannot cure the problem

Like me, you recognise that solutions come from within, when we decide to look for them ourselves.

This is such an effective form with those short monorhymes adding emphasis to the last line of the verse. Such a lovely closing couplet, too. Very enjoyable to read.

Thanks Tony. I wrote the first stanza and it seemed promising so I kept going with a similar 2nd stanza, then the last 2 lines fell in my lap so I figured it was finished!
