Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This free verse, At Eventide, encourages and soothes the person who feels stress during the scary times when the weather's will tries to win us over and cause grief.

I love how you started and ended the poem with the line "I want you to know" Very effective.
Love the phrase melancholic leaves
Also very effective.
Well done Gypsy!

You always do fabulous presentations! I am glad that you know how to use all the programs to fully illustrate your poem.
I like the reassuring poem, too, as it feels like how the Lord always holding us so I probably would change:
I want you to know
every night when I'm alone (when you're alone)
I'm the one holding your hands

But of course, you may have meant that the narrator is speaking to herself.

I meant... me holding Jesus hands. I have a statue with His hands open and palms facing up and I literally hold his hands while I pray.

I had several reviewers asking if I use a template for my presentations. Jessie went as far as to tell me I wouldn't get good reviews without them because the poems are not that good, and other stuff, very condescending. It really hurt my feelings because I i thought we were friends. After a while we worked out and he apologized..

I erased most of that stuff about my presentations. I have no control over what people think. I do it because it's a form of art I enjoy so much. I love it as much as my poems.

I will change the copyright ©️ word

Love,

Marival

I feel like this was so much more than a physical thing. It was like someone telling you, I'm always with you. Sometimes physically there but always thinking of you, just a phone call or a thought away. This was beautiful, Gypsy. Gretchen

I think your middle image didn't come through correctly. BUT, the poem is beautiful and the desire to hold onto a loved one is strong and powerful. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I had technical issues. I always use preview before posting but this one went through without preview. I fixed it. Thank you!

Thank you very much, Barbara.
