Your metaphors are vivid. The imagery is strong. The reader will be drawn in to reflect upon their cascading memories. They could be inspired to write their own poem as this. Well expressed.

That is very pretty. The piece was easy to read and carried through from beginning to end as if I was in the tunnel of love. I felt warmth and trust and as if each and every memory was cherrished.

Your poem is very skillfully and creatively written, descriptive, and romantic. The repeat line is effectively placed. I just wonder why this is in past tense, since the love described seems so enduring (makes me wonder why it ended~~"Pearls from above" implies death).

Hello, anonymous,

Good job with the entry for the Repetition writing prompt contest. Nice imagery. You repeated one line in each stanza as the rules requires. Nice presentation. Good luck in the contest.

    Thanks for the reminder that I was repeating words, but not a full line. I revised it - not sure if I improved the poem. But at least it fits the rules.

This is a very well rhymed poem about one of my favorite subjects, love. The only suggestion, a minor one of that, is in the second stanza, rather than using "kidskin", I'd just use "very smooth". Good luck in the contest.

This poem, Cascading Memories, is nicely metered and set to rhyme. The repeating line provides the continued expression of remembrance for a treasured time.

A beautifully written poem that is a marvellous entry in this contest. I love your choice of cascading was always a great word choice as it signifies flowing, whether it be water or love flowing from a loving heart, this is a great entry in this contest, great rhyme and "flow", with great rhyme in aabb couplets, well dine, good luck, blessings Roy

You did a great job with y9our contest entry, Mystery Writer. I enjoyed reading it. Your lines flow smoothly with good rhymes and great imagery. I like the way you used your repeating line. Many kyrielles have it as the last line of a verse. Yours works well where it is place. The image is a good choice.
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Such soft and tender "cascading memories of love!" A beautiful poem reflecting those special moments. The photo is a beautiful match to your sweet poem!
