Inner Sanctum, great job; I loved reading your poem. It's flowing nicely, is wonderfully honest and well written. You've done a great job with this poem and please tell Silvergold that the picture is lovely, and compliments the poem nicely. Great job both of you, great job.

A really great piece of writing, matching the photo perfectly with your piece. You extol beautiful thoughts and phrases throughout your rendition, and perhaps your author's notes best reflect the piece,"real treasures never lose their shine, artificial gems do and value was never there to begin with.
Well done

Okay, this was just perfect! You made a point that relates to a constant struggle in my mind. Everything you said was spot-on and words that people should live by. Greed is deception. Excellent poem, all the way around.

    I sure have come to appreciate your thoughtful reviews. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I know you'd be honest with me if there was a flaw too and that is a good thing. This is something that bothers me every day as I work in the world of beauty. Balance is most important.

"We all end up here one day"

Funny, there's a whole lot of very attractive, young, energetic people who are already there...inside. Trouble is there's no smile attached that means anything in that condition. A real shame.

I loved this poem, it speaks of a higher love that doesnt see with human eyes, but with the heart, selfless, as love should be.

Great job!

I really can appreciate the wisdom in your words, Jewell. I think you are right on with what you write. Reminds me of Ecclesiasties.

Hi Jewell. This is such a beautiful poem. The rhythm and rhyme scheme are good and the imagery is awesome, for example, "Loveliness cannot be measured by the glitter in the night." Stunning

Hey IS,
This is another solid poem. The rhyme is smooth and natural throughout and the meter is solid up until the last two lines. I recommend:
Loveliness cannot be measured
By glitter in the night
For a jewel will never glisten
In the absence of pure light

That feels a bit more natural to me. I liked this piece a lot, looking forward to reading more

Hi Jewell,

Inner beauty vs outer beauty. Which one is long-lasting and whis one should be cherished. The inner beauty will always win. Outer beauty ages and withers. Innner beauty is eternal. Nice poem. This is the first time I see you writing a full poem without breaks. Nice job.

Can't see anything wrong with this pup, Jewell! No idea why the view/review thingie happens. I just write it off to newbies who want to make a quick buck without much work. LOL You and I both know you're an excellent poet. Keep your head up and keep crafting poems like this one!! Loved it!! And remember:

A Jewell never glistens
In the absence of pure light

The people passing you by are not of the light!!

That Happy Chica,
Marcia Ellen
