Hello John,
So pleased you appreciate my cleave poem.
It is challenging to pen one of these, but also very satisfying...
Thank you for your positive and complimentary review!

This is a fine example of a cleave poem, which I am just now learning about. What an enormous word is "forgiveness"... the possibilities that it promises... you have presented this in a lovely and eloquent way. Thank you for sharing this.

Excellent photo of white tulips that complement your poem perfectly. I have not seen a cleave poem for ages. It is a nice form. Yours is very well done. I am not sure how it will do in the I imagine contest. Maybe well. I wish you the best for the contest.

Comment from MelB
This is a fantastic poem written on forgiveness. I'm amazed how many people don't know how to apologize to others, and what it does for a person to hear those words.

Wow, I haven't seen a cleave poem for a while. Sally Yocom used to do them a lot. She's no longer active on the site. They are way above my skill level and they give me a headache. I'm impressed that you make this look so easy. Best wishes in the contest.

I am in awe of your ability to put together such a fine poem, a three-in-one. I have never read one before so I will say I've learned something new again. Thank you for that. Well written, well done.

Hello Charlene!
This is only the second cleave poem I have ever attempted. They are really challenging in terms of attempting to make sense while getting one's message across. I am currently snowbound...so I had plenty of time to dabble!
Thank you for your wonderful review!

Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi there;
This lovely and well-constructed poem holds so much within the lines. Your presentation reminds us that in order to ask forgiveness, we must have pure intentions - like the white tulip.
Whether you read the bold or the regular print, you have an apology, and when the two poems are combined, it is the type of apology many of us are incapable of giving or receiving. Words from a true heart to an open heart willing to forgive.
Well done,
~patty~

your poem is expressed with sincerity and belief -- lovely thoughts making for a happy disposition, no doubt.
Good reading for a skeptic, like me.
Interesting information about the white tulip. I wasn't aware of it's significance.
Nice to know. thanks.

Hello Friend,
More like I am snowbound!
Have you ever attempted one of these cleave poems? They are stinkers! But I needed a challenge, so I went for it.
Thank you so much for your exceptional rating and complimentary review.
Have a wonderful day!

I have been told my poetry is considered "folk art" please don't confuse me. I just discovered limericks, thinking about entering one. The kurlman
