Very well written. Imaginative. Even the picture is apropos. The vocabulary may stretch many to spend time finding definitions, but I am fine with what you have written. Hey. That rhymes.

-Very nice image, Melissa.
-An excellent poem filled with
vivid imagery and effective rhyme.
-I like the premise established in line one
and the story you tell based on that.
-There are so many good images like,
"velvet of midnight" and "tassels of comets."
-You do an excellent job how these things
would adorn a necklace, slippers, and more.
-An excellent concluding verse and closing line.
-This is one of your best poems; I can't say
enough good things about it.
-Thank you for sharing the beauty you put into it.

To begin with, I love the rhyme scheme you chose to go with. It's as if your lines weave in and out against each other creating a certain flow. Having a rhythm and flow to poetry is always fun to read. The topic and idea you decided to go and write about (beautiful artwork by the way wherever it came from, credits to the artist) shoots for the stars and as if I had the justice to say it, you definitely hit them.
It really is such beautiful work, well written and well stated. I wish you good luck and all the best in everything you do!

    Jonathan, what a lovely review. I really appreciate your comments. We just finished the FanStory class on meter yesterday and I decided to write in amphibrach meter which is a three beat meter of da, DUM, da... or unstressed, stressed, unstressed... anyway its fun and creates a lovely flow. So glad you liked my visit to the stars. I will try to find the artist and give credit, but found the pic on Google... thanks again.

I'm just an old country boy and a couple of your words slipped over my head, but I understood enough to say you penned a beautiful poem. Having to look up a word or two just makes me smarter. Very good work.

    Thanks so much Roy. We just finished the FS Meter class yesterday and I thought I would craft a verse in amphibrach meter and share with everyone. It's fun to stretch and grow :). The next class in June is on writing in foreign/European forms... I know he is going to teach the Rondeau.. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again.
