Comment from Edward Escobar
If ever a poem turned to a romance novel, your words alone came
with a sincerity of dreams and heartbreaks that give birth to
clouds floating on a stage of love songs. Thank you for sharing that wonderful verse that struck. Regards and blessings. Ed :)

I apologize for being so late with this. I had my second vaccine and had a reaction to it. It had taken me all week to catch up. Thank you for the lovely review and generous stars! A beautiful blessing in my trying week! Sending along my very best,

Comment from MAMONIA
I can picture you turning the pages of your album. Memories do take us back to other times and this time was joyous, at first, but now like the wilted rose, it has lost its scent.
How many times we can look back and wonder about our relationships and how they dissolved into the past.
This poem is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. You definitely got the emotions reeling.
Congratulations!
My best,
Marie

Thank you very much for the lovely review and generous six star rating. I?m so glad you enjoyed this poem. It was in a blind contest and kind of off to the side. I?m so glad you were able to go back and enjoy it so much. Sending along my very best with love and blessings always, dear Marie.

This is a great presentation, Sally. Congratulations on your first place win. I love the image and the color scheme. Your lines read well with some internal rhymes. Your story told flows at a good ace. It reminds me f what could have been. Now, only the memories remain, but the narrator seems to have come to grips with those.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Wendy G
Beautiful image and beautiful poem, both original and creative. The presentation is excellent, and I really appreciated how you discovered the rose, worked through the feelings, came to a place of acceptance, and wee able to move on, with the memories being treasured, not the past regretted. Well done.

The speaker may have moved to the next stages of grieving called bargaining to denial. This is a poignant account. Many readers will identify. Some may have recognized the stages in themselves. This may be a healing experience reading this.
