An enchanting presentation, and a fine nonet that is great poetry too.

The longing for someone separated by distance that may be "oceans of time" or miles of distance.

Great job here, and I wish you luck with the Contest Committee. :))

Beautiful verse, Gypsy!!!

The mood is sultry...
The love is true...
The longing is deep...
The desire overflows like a mystical waterfall.

Your phraseology is excellent. The carefully chosen words pull the reader in, embraces them and puts them to bed to dream.

I appreciate the presentation as it mirrors the sentiment left.

This is a strong contest entry,
good luck to you!!

    Your outstanding beautiful review is appreciated. You have a way with words, I bet you are an excellent writer or poet...perhaps both. Thank you very much for your exceptional review.

You have presented a diminishing series of beautiful sentiments here. What I liked most about it was that every line or two was capable of standing alone. This gave the reader time to reflect. Very nice. Kate xx

Wow. This is a second love poem you wrote today. You are on a roll. I love the line: Do you hear my tears?

The crying is so loud that he might hear it from far away. It's common in the old days.

Well done and good luck.

I found this poem to be powerful! The author's words are crying out without options! These words were intense and seem to convey there are no answer! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome
and compliments these words.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Hi Gypsy Queen,
your first line sets the mood for a reader to connect emotionally. Your second and third lines paint a visual connection, as my eyes drift to the longing. BTW... love the second line.

As the harvest moon bleeds outside... it's very visual in a mind's eye.

It has that sense of pining for the love one needs, yet is too far to actually grasp... so it adds the feeling of melancholy in that knowing.

The font and presentation are alluring... even the image stares to you eyes-to-eyes.

Beautiful entry for this Nonet Poem Contest Reina Gitana.
Mis mejores deseos para ti hermosa Amiga.

With our thoughts we create...
a bridge of illusion.

Kind regards,
James.

    Thank you for the exceptional six stars review. Your words resonate with me, it's like you got inside my head and know exactly what I meant to write. I am happy you can visualize the poem, that is my intention. It's one of the reasons I fell in-love with haiku ... it's so visual... like me.

    Gracias, Seņor Jaime, besitos y abrazos

Very nice nonet. Syllable count on point and the message is consistent and loud and clear. Nothing sounds forced for syllable's sake and everything works together well. Very nice.
