I haven't heard anything for Maria for ages, I hope she's doing well. I enjoy writing with Robert's cube form, I'm writing a children's book using it with pictures. I love your poem, it's perfect for sitting back and reading in the garden on a nice summer's day. Well done again, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Debra,

Okay, I liked the poem really well - but then I read your notes and realized you've been in contact with MJ! How is she? Will she ever come back to us? Please tell her we miss her?

Now, back to the poem. This is sweet and dear and I enjoyed sitting outside with you for a few minutes. Thanks!

    Hi Robyn :)
    Thanks for your lovely comments!
    I speak to Maria most days! I passed on your message and she told me to say hi! She is currently concentrating on her Masters, but may return to Fanstory when she has finished.
    All the best, Debra x

That does indeed sound like a perfect day. There is an air of peace, serenity and content about your poem. The cube format works well for this piece. Well done.

This is a terrific cube, Debra. Your skillful choice of words has brought to life within the parameters of a cube brought a sumptuous snapshot of spring.

Very well done and a pleasure to read and review today. :))

Refresshing--charming--graceful flow and rhyme--vivid imagery brings the scene to life. A perfect spring day indeed. Delightful contribution to the cube contest in fine form!

    Hi Pam :) Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.
    I speak to Maria most days, she is doing great! I'll let her know you were asking about her :) Best wishes, Debra

    You are very welcome, and how nice that you stay in touch. Were you the two that were going to get together or was that someone else?
reply by the author on 30-Mar-2021
    We got together in the summer of 2019 when Maria and her family came to the UK on holiday :)

    I remembered something like that but had forgotten who was involved.

This is an inspirational, lovely poem. It vividly describes the type of experience in nature that nobody should consider time wasted. You have done really well with the style.
