This work has reached the exceptional level

I really do like your writing style, and the messages you so well write and convey.
This poem shows a lot of thought and consideration (and possibly experience?)
Great poem about the doubt of trusting a potential lover.
Really good piece :)

Great poem. I would have to say my favorite parts are around the middle and to the end. I don't think I would have changed anything. Great job!

This is a poem that shows the fear in the heart of one who wishes to look before he leaps into the murky waters of love. It is well written with a good diction. kudos

This is an eloquent free form poem. I enjoyed the metaphors of love portrayed through ripples on still water and winds of change on earthy spirits to express how time can alter feelings. The insecurity was there, but with a juxtaposition of calmness about it all; a kind of resignation because the speaker didn't feel worthy of that love. It's a poem that makes me enjoy examining it.

One of the things I like about this site is that poets have the opportunity to enhance their work through the visual of pictures, and often poets are inspired directly through that picture, showcasing their prowess as good poets.

By the same token, I especially enjoy those unsupported because there's no distraction from the words. This way, the poem has to stand alone, through its own strength. It will resonate or it won't. This is one of those special poems, for me. There's a real honesty and beauty in it--very visual in its own right. Very well composed, I enjoyed it. Ash.

I found this poem romantic. You painted a clear picture that seemed to fade as you doubted your worth, or the ability to withstand the changes in life. I wonder if this depicts a real relationship in peril, or of something more intangible.

Very nice poem which conveys the questions and search involved with a lost or damaged relationship.
My only suggestion would be to check the colon use. It's not widely used in poetry and general for listing only.

Two very nice lines:
*Like ripples betraying still waters, will you stay with me?
*When I fall will you extend your inner spirit to catch my worthlessness

This is a nicely written story/poem. It reads like prose. I understand that it's free verse, but the way it's worded, and the way it's formatted without an image at the top, and the starkness of the black font on white looks to me very much like newspaper print.

My personal preference would be that it be put in the story, or essay category, but that's just me. There were no spags, and it was thoughtfully and intelligently written, I just disagree with the format, that's all. It still an excellent piece, regardless. Nicely done.

Very sad and full of doubt, for yourself and the person you are speaking of. There seems to be little trust there and there's likely a reason for it.

Thanks for sharing. It's very raw and beautiful.

Regards, anabelle
