Comment from Shane Marquardt
This was a very well written poem. Great imagery and very touching. Thanks for sharing.
I really liked what you had to say below.
"My mind has been heavy
The path has been unkind
I whisper none of this
As now, it's left behind"

Hi Sixteez,
What joyful sentiment! I enjoyed
this sweet poem. Especially this line:
I give to you no burden
That in itself was the whole of the
poem's feeling, wrapped into a few words.

Ellie, you have nailed it! That is what the poem is about. We all need intimacy and an embrace at times, yet that does not mean we want to be a burden. Just simply and silently, need to be held. Thank you so much for your specific comments and most generous review! Most warmly, Sue
Comment from GregoryC
Very good minimalist poetry with crisp phrases, little or no punctuation, excellent word choice and clear languange. Positive message with easy to read semantics and informal free verse with a little rhyme thrown in. Good work.

Comment from Nedrajean
This poem reads easily and in its simplicity presents a comforting message. I like the rhyme. I think verse one has a space that you might not have intended to be there - but it doesn't affect the poem at all.

For some reason, I have had a lot of comments about spaces in between lines that do not belong. I have checked with the administrator and will have to check again. Thank you for bringing this up as it is very important. And thank you for your most generous review! Sincerely, Sue
Comment from eraserlynch
Lovely poem about vulnerability, something which I struggle with as it is such a foreign concept to me (my mother was and still is a martyr and told me vulnerability is a sign of weakness). My husband is teaching me the benefits of being vulnerable and how they can be so enlightening and strong. Look forward to reading more of your work soon.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your own personal story. Give in with no fear of judgment and you can feel the beauty of that freedom. Very cool that your husband takes the time to care! Thank you also for your most generous review! Warmest regards, Sue

So absolutely beautiful. The content is lovely and the tone and tenor so very authentic. Felt just like I had stepped out of a Calgon bath! Wonderful work. Smiles, Seraph ~

Comment from SeaAnne
I really like this! I especially liked the lines that said... "Come rest with me now
In spirit, not a word"
I so often relate to just wanting to have a hug.
