Comment from Patricia Cammish
You have written an evocative poignant piece capturing Neruda's style well.
Have you considered setting out your lines as the stanza quoted rather than centering the text?
I love 'your image burst in my lines '

Hi Patricia, thank you for your review. You make a very good point in here, that detail escaped my mind. Wait and see!
Comment from LeftHandedScribe
You are an incredibly skilled poet. This line: "This nebulous, still image of what it was not." Gave me chills. What a gift to self assess and do it with such clarity and beauty.

This has great depth. I like how you used the original as an inspiration. Many a reader will be drawn to root for you, or identify with you or celebrate such a feeling of completion.

I was inspired by My Name is Asher Lev. He sketched his mother with his pen. I sketched,my teacher with words.
My Memory
Her name came up
In conversation
Mrs. H.
I began to draw
In my heart
My memory of her
I drew my memory
of her face of kindness
of her heart of gentleness
of her voice of comfort
I quickly turned to
Another page
I began to sketch
Her standing there
In front of us
Her fifth grade
Teaching us
Not just
How to read
How to do arithmetic
How to express ourselves
But standing there
teaching us
who we can become
with the gifts within us
I turned to
another page
And without need of thought
I drew her
Revealing these gifts
to me
that I knew not of
which lay deep within
my being
To be discovered
at another time
in another season
The next sketch
was me-now
looking deeply
into that gift
at the seed
Of that gift
which she
so long ago
began to nurture
My last sketch
in this book
of my memory
Was of me
Giving to Mrs. H.
a blossom
from that gift

Hello anonymous
Beautiful entry for the Ode to You (yes, YOU!) contest. You followed the contest rules well. The presentation is nice. Good ode form.
I love Pablo Neruda, good choice!
Good luck in the contest.

I loved this. I wasn't sure it was the expected response to the writing prompt, but I loved everything about it, including your author notes. It is beautiful poetry, creating strong, magical images and it makes me want to read more of your work. Unfortunately, I don't know who you are. ;"(
But I will find out.

Hi Miss Merry, your review is lovable, just like your sonnets. Thank you for trying to identify me...it's a dare...
Comment from LisaMay
This is a wonderfully evocative and sensory poem... rather ethereal in tone to fit with the quiet girl. The petal hands contrast well with the cigar-stained hands. It should be a worthy winner of the contest.

Hello Friend,
It's a nice piece of Biographical Poetry meeting the desired norms.
I'm highly impressed by its theme, presentation, enchanting flow throughout from the beginning to the end, and phraseology which is lucid as well as perfectly matching the theme.
Laudable Attempt!
BEST OF LUCK in the contest.
