Comment from Janice Canerdy
This skillfully-written, vividly and creatively descriptive acrostic poem takes us from the innocence and idealism of childhood and youth all the way to the quickly coming end. The tone is reflective but not sad or regretful--I like that.

Wow, Janice -- thank you, THANK YOU for these awesome comments and that bonus 'plus' to top off the star stack! :) ;) Sometimes we look back and do find some regret... I try to look back and just enjoy the picture show: I know where I'm headed in the end, right?!! ;) :)
And, hey, it's gonna be a great FIRST FULL WEEK of SUMMER round here - hooray!! ;) :) :) So glad you enjoyed my acrostic, my lady, and thank you again for the stars!! :) Be sure enjoy some sun on your face and enjoy the week ahead!! ;) Yvette
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
A six, I wish I could give more. This is emotional as it gives the progression of life itself in such a way that the presentation is so gentle and yet so true. Excellent acrostic in content and yet so perfectly done in ABAB

I enjoyed reading this lovely Acrostic, Yvette. You have done an excellent job with presentation and content!!! I like the theme of whispering winds and do think it an excellent analogy for when times change about us. So well done and I wish you luck!!!

Comment from June Sargent
Winds of change do follow us on our journey through life - sometimes as gentle breezes and other times, like a hurricane. But, we trudge along - chasing our unicorns. In the end, we muster up strength to grab that one last star - as we spy a dust storm on the horizon. Here we go again! Great piece of reflective poetry.

Wow, June -- thank you, THANK YOU for these awesome comments and that bonus 'plus' to top off the star stack! :) ;) You're so right: we weather through one stage and think we'll catch our breath, and fate has another challenge there - but we just keep on keepin' on until that final 'change'... ;) :)

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
It is good to look back on our life and make note of all the changes that have occurred either by choice or not. As long as we have life, we can do better.
Beautifully colored picture goes well with your poem.

Thanx, Rebecca, for your awesome comments ... seems we 'reflect' more as the years go on, doesn't it? And I'm not convinced it's just cuz there's more to reflect on... ;) :) So glad you enjoyed my acrostic, my lady -- be sure enjoy some sun on your face and enjoy the week ahead!! ;) Yvette

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A fine acrostic Yvette with a poignant message, our lives are constantly changing as we face the challenges in life and nothing lasts forever, I particularly liked the line: "Softly youth's dreams remind we're in arrears" I am reminded of this everyday! Much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from Iza Deleanu
I love the chromatic of your poem it contrasts so well with your acrostic. Grabbing hold of tomorrow, we reach for that Star... and
Eternity whispers that life's changes won't last.
thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is much better than mere excellence.
I particularly liked it for several reasons
1) one idea per lines with no framents and runovers. The more I read these things, the more I see this as a sign of skill
2) colour. The illustration is a perfect match to the poem, and the colour you have extracted for the text is a good choice, even if it is a bit hard on tired old eyes
3) the line "Hauntingly we reflect back through our life." I could ponder on this all day

Beautifully done, Yvette!! Loved how you show the growth of the creative soul from childhood's imaginings to adulthood and yet, that magical yearning is still in our future. Best wishes in the contest!
