Comment from Leineco
I love that you took the picture and saw that he was walking amongst the clouds!! What a unique detail to catch :-)
You took it from there in a most melancholy way, (thank goodness not
the night of. . .that would have been unbearable), walking us through
her memory, and WHY this rain made her see him in the clouds.
A very emotional write Chrissy - wonderful addition to the group write
portfolio :-)

And be with you in love(')s sweet melody.

Hi Cat, Thank you so much for your review as I know you are always very busy , but also very thoughful and I do appreciate your lovely comments and also for your advice. ( corrected this now) How much fun are these images to get out imaginations going. I thought free verse was the go here for me, and it made my story just flow out, As always Many Cheers have a great day. Christine x😀

A very creative response to the Challenge picture, Chrissy. I am glad you said in your notes that you made this up, you were so convincing I thought it was true. The rhyme and verse flow really well. You get my 6 for today

Ho Douglas, I am so happy to accept your six stars for this effort for this image and tried to do a bit of a different style to my usual rhyming pieces. I enjoyed this challenge and find these are a good way to stretch ones imagination. Many Many Thanks for you lovely support. Cheers Christine😃😃

A good story in a poem. I like the way you have created these characters and the setting. You create emotion, climatic moment, and ending in a nice smooth and flowing way.

Hi kittykatnoel, I thank you for your review and comments for my picture challenge for this image and subsequent story that just seemed to pour out once I started . I triedcto keep the meter tight despite the free verse style and have been pleased with the reactions. Cheers to you Christine😃
Comment from royowen
Christine, just for a minute, you had me going, such sadness conjured from a piece of art work, is truly amazing, I tend to be unimaginative when it comes to this musing! The interpretation is a clever one, the time spent on this is worthwhile, it's a really good reading of it. Well done, my friend, blessings, Roy

Most welcome Christine,
Comment from ciliverde
A compelling tragic tale here Christine, about an accident that took the life of your husband - which I knew to be a fictional story based on an earlier conversation with you :)
I like the line "I see you walking in the clouds above" - that's a nice image that I think would comfort someone grieving.

Hi Carol, Many thanks for your review and comments. The first line set the theme for my story which just unfolded with each Stanza, my imagination worked on this one. No my husband is all good , but I suppose this could be someones story. I do appreciate your great support for my work Cheers Christine 😃
Comment from frogbook
This is excellent, so poignant and sad. I was sure it was true, so right there is a sign of an excellent poet because it was so sincere you had me convinced. Liked the form and certainly was an original take with the superb ending especially.

I had no idea what I was going to do until I wrote my first line and then it all just came out. Thanks for reading this much appreciated, Cheers Christine😀

I enjoyed your challenge poem. The story you told flows smoothly. Good job on the presentation--the color scheme, the topic, the word choices, etc. All work together to create a memorable read. The black/white color scheme seems to set the tone for a sad story. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Comment from evilynne
That's a sad one and, yes, it is different (hopefully not a true tale). Your poem is a tale of love and heartbreak, well written and enjoyable. Evi

Hi Jackie, Many thanks for reading my post and thanks for the tips I will correct these now. Yes I wondered how do do Mam, it's not a term we use much in Australia, but it seemed to fit this poem. Congratulations on you book. I will try and have a read. I also apologise for my late post. and I look forward to catching up with the other poems also. Have a great day. Cheers Christine😃
