Comment from Dawn Munro
Well, Michael Cahill, I first have to apologize - for two things:
1) My negligence (but you don't need me, and I'm here so infrequently anymore...)
2) My aversion to 'joining' anything... Though these clubs sound like a wonderful idea. MUST we join, or can we simply pop in to write occasionally, as I did with Potlatch?
Now, on to your breath-taking poem...wow. Mystical, romantic, dreamy... I was hooked from the first line. That first stanza - yowza - my favorite.

I'm at least equally negligent and infrequent. :))
There's no requirement to DO anything as far as the club goes. You can just join and watch if you wish. Yes, like potlatch. Actually I was just helping Tom with formatting etc. and I looked up and it was a club. HA! Even this challenge was just a template or it was supposed to be. But no harm done. So, YES, join up. You don't have to do a thing. It will be like we're married. LOL!
I'm so pleased you liked my poem. Thanks so much. This is my true style. Sonnets and stuff are just to prove I can do them. Thanks a million. mike :))
Comment from smileycloud
very good free style/verse poem
love the content very deeply felt love and many questions for the reader to consider and quite good that the answers were left for each person to answer themselves
despite the profound depth your poem is quite endearing with it's whimsical tones and the form is good with words are spattered randomly yet definitely staying very true to the theme and the story line without wavering off the track
all the pauses and line spaces are working well for emphasis and emotion
have a smiley day

Hi there, Smiley
Smiles are good. :))
Gee, I LOVE that you totally get everything about this including the format which some people are put off by. Yes, the spacing and word placement, colour etc. are all on purpose and part of free verse, so i am thrilled they are effective for you.
Thanks a million and YOU have a smiley day too. :)) mike

I always enjoy your work and was intrigued by the new club section of the website. I see you are heading up the freeverse club. Before I hit the "Join" button I would like to know a bit more about what I am committing to.

Hi
Well, you don't have to DO anything to be in the club. You can just be a member and watch and read. It's brand new and I imagine we'll just blather about free verse and have some challenges and maybe some contests. A lot will depend on what we as the members decide we'd like to do. So, it should be informal and easy going. Jump in, we can't make ya do nuttin'. LOL mike
Comment from harmony13
Excellent Poem! The author's words are deep, interesting and thought provoking.
I found the artwork drew me to this poem - purple is my favorite color. The
reader pondered on the meaning of love. The artwork complimented both
the theme and words of this poem.

Ahh, so pleased you enjoyed and connected it with the artwork. THAT was the idea of the challenge to use the artwork as inspiration. Thanks a million, mike

I enjoyed the subject of your poem and the tasteful way it is presented. The continuity of the subject and the form, then the surprise ending. Good poem and an enjoyable read.

I'm planning to join. I have already two poems due today and lots of other stuff so it may be Tuesday but I am intrigued. I found your take here to be exceptional. Exceptionally beautiful and of extremely high quality. Thank you for sharing your work.

Ahhh ... I see you DID. Welcome. It's all very low key and informal. We'll do as we wish with no pressure. Wow. What a great review. You are spoiling me and I LOVE it. :)) Thanks a million. mike

I really don't have a lot of spare time, but you have convinced me to check out the club section. Maybe there's a place for even me. Thank you for sharing.

Of COURSE there is. You should start a club for writing novels. Many of us have no clue what we're doing. We do it anyway though. YOU DO know what you're doing. I'm surprised at how many folks have already signed up. A good idea. No pressure, ratings or any of that I guess to worry about, just writing. Thank you so much, mike
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
I had seen yours in the forum but could not find it in the contest listing. This is easy to find and I hope I understood it right and did mime justice. This is excellent with the very desctiptive pieces and to end 'with or without you' is a fantastic end

Comment from MissMerri
I loved how you took the idea of reflections and made it representative of love exchanged between two people. The sustained metaphor throughout this well-conceived poem was excellent. I especially loved the stanza beginning with "Maybe I am the moon in love with the shimmer of starlight dancing on your face..." The imagery is wonderful. The whole poem shimmers like moonlight on water. It is inspiring.

I'm thrilled you enjoyed this one. Some of it sounds a bit like some of your work. (he bragged) LOL
I liked that portion too, I delighted you pointed it out. Well, I'll be smiling for quite a while. You know you're one of my favorites. mike
