Powerful writing that speaks to me. And I would give you six stars if I had it. Thanks for sharing this expressive writing that ties into Deep-seated memories from the past. Great job of writing from your heart or from great imagination.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork and
presentation, Yvette.
-When I read your notes,
I thought you were celebrating
one thing so I read all of
the reviews and re-read the poem.
-It is written very well and
from your heart.
-It is a bittersweet poem as
you recall deep feelings.
-You take us through
those feelings with each verse.
-I am sorry for your loss,
and wish you the best,
including in the contest!

No loss here, Pam, although I am humbled that my words resonated as thus! :) ;) Just lots of 'heavy' emotion hanging on the muse at the time of the write... :) ;) Thanx for the review, ma'am, and have a great evening! ;) Yvette

I am glad to hear there was no loss. I didn't think so the way your note sounded. I thought it was your birthday! Then I read reviews, and I wasn't sure. Hope your muse is more upbeat soon. You are very welcome for the review, too, Yvette.
Comment from Dutchie
Very touching poem, Yvette. I know these moments. Lost my husband
1 1/2 year ago. Especially the Winter evenings are hard sometimes...
You expressed this in such a beautiful day. But hey, it's almost Summer now, and I try to enjoy life as much as I can. Fia

Oh, Fia -- thank you so very much for these lovely stars.... I am glad that my poem spoke to you - the muse was in a very 'heavy' mood that day. :/ :/ And, yes, it is summer... HOORAY!! ;) ;) Keep smiling over there, Beautiful Lady! ;) ;) Yvette

This is absolutely beautiful and the presentation is impeccable. I also love the artwork you've chosen.
Very elegant post.
May I ask what you are celebrating?

Comment from Richard J
Yet,
Another gorgeously compelling piece from your starstruck ink!
From eye-candy picture, to font color choices that unwind like reflections upon water, the expressed timbre of your immersing/blending moments lure the mind, the heart, and spirit of your own emotional world of sweet somnambulistic sensuality, to awakening, and (finally) awareness ... the sheer essence of your words grip our senses from joy to the inevitable realization of abject sorrow in its seemingly endless replication.
How wondrously desirable it may, sometimes, be to simply say, "I let you go!"
A brilliantly rendered virtual masterpiece that has thrilled this fan, I assure you, Dear Yvette ... hugs! ~ Richard
[L8: consider, "Recalling pains" for flow and rhyme, or "Recalled the pains" for rhyme ... 'tis the only trip my mind's-eye sees] ; )

Thank you for your suggestion -- it has been implemented. ;) Take care over there. ;) Yvette

You are ever-so welcome. : )
Could, also, be:
Seeped through each vein,
Recalled the pain?
Whatever, I love it! ; )
Not with the "?" ending ... the site did this.
I wish we had a fully-functional keyboard set. ; /

I actually debated the ing back and forth and had already gone back and restored the 'recalled ' before I received this...;) ;) However, you are oh so right about that third line....fits much better! And, don't worry, ....never even considered the question mark...;) ;) Take care.....
Comment from karenina
Absolutely brilliant in form, theme, word smithing, image chosen, colors, font, emotive quality, eloquence, and more! This is the poem six star ratings are meant for...
Wish I could frame it and hang it on my wall! Best poem I have read in weeks!

Oh, Karenina, thank you!! :) ;) I am so very glad that you enjoyed this one, ma'am -- you just made my week! ;) ;) As I said in the Au-Ns, I wrote it a while back in preparation for the tidal wave of May.... so glad I did, but (and you can probably relate to this) when I pulled it up from the files to post, I actually thought "wow, now that's a bit depressing, Yvette!"... :) ;) Buuuut... here it is -- feel free to print if you like! ;) :) Thank you again and may you, too, have a wonderful week!! Yvette ;)

Glad this made your week! Wow! You deserved every accolade!--Karenina
Comment from Jesse James Doty
It's a beautiful painting you chose for this minute. The form appears to be well done. The message is lovely and sad, as you remember one who is no longer sharing your bed. I am not sure about a word you chose in the second stanza. It is the first word on the second line. I am unaware of the meaning of "Inured?" Could it be possible that you meant to use the word "turned?" Please enlighten me if I am wrong about this word. This minute is heartfelt and I found beauty in its presentation. Thank you for sharing.
Take care, Jesse

Thanx so much for your in-depth review, Jesse, and I've included the definition below. Always so very good to hear from you! :) And I am glad you 'weighed in' on this one...just remember, though, as I state in my AuNs, this is written from a depth of emotion and not from an experience... David and I are close to 30 years now and I'm pretty sure we're stuck with each other for quite a bit longer...LOL! ;) :) Yvette
inure -- to accustom to hardship, difficulty, pain, etc

Thank you for the definition. It is a good word to use. I will probably add it to my collection. I am glad to hear that you and David are stuck with each other for a long time to come. 30 years! Yay!
Have a great Tuesday.
Jesse
Comment from poetwatch
There is nothing wrong with your feelings, Yvette. A gravesite is not in you, for the living feel, those that are gone are gone. Whether the thoughts linger of pleasure and then pain that comes in a moment within dreams is something that all of us must deal with. Be yourself my blonde beauty and smile. :) Good minute poem.

Thanx so very much for understanding that it was written from heavy emotions not necessarily from reality's place.... and you are so wonderful with your compliments there: I promise to keep smiling: it's summer!! ;) ;) Thanx for the review, but, mostly, thanx for 'getting me'! ;) :) Take care over there! :) Yvette
Comment from Gail Denham
Nicely done poem - made me think - figuring finally that all this was in the past - and your arms didn't want to let her go. It's a sad day when the time comes to let go.
good poem.

Thanx so much for your review on this one, Gail and I'm so glad you could see the fact that I really did not write it from one partner or the other's point of view... could be either. :) ;) Thanx for stopping by! ;) :) Yvette
Comment from Carla Trinklein
This brought tears to my eyes. How many widows, widowers go through this very thing every night? I can't imagine the pain of losing someone you've depended on so consistently. So powerful.

Oh, Carla -- your words here are so very humbling to me simply because I was able to touch you with the words... the ultimate compliment for a poet, I would think -- thank you! ;) ;) Thanx for stopping by today and you be sure to have a great week! ;) ;) Yvette
