As ever, a very evocative verse, exploring all the senses and ending with this, the sweetest and most melancholic of stories about Nigel the gannet. A deeply emotional journey conveyed in exquisite words. Thanks for sharing. Debbie

You used magnificent, beautiful love language to describe a couple's appreciation of the moment facing them. This poem is tender, flowing, and filled with imagery. I wish you the best in the contest.

It was a sad love story of the gannet bird that never received love and affection from his chosen stone, fake partner. How lonely it must have felt to dream of love that never materialized.

This is an interesting form that you have written, and I enjoyed it very much. I can't imagine a bird that continually was enamored with a stone bird. I enjoyed your notes which helped with the understanding of what your phone was about.

Gypsy,
Your beautiful poem flows softly like the tender love you write about.
You use the senses, along with poignant images to give the reader a sense of a love so profound that the couple really dread separation.
I like the way your poem flows. Your photos are awesome too.
Good luck!
Blessings,
Cindy

Another fine poem, Gypsy----reminds me of my situation, trying to get some kind of reaction out of my wife, she was a stone statue. Now, everything makes sense, she wasn't hearing me because she had ears of stone. I feel so relieved it finally makes sense!

This sounds like a romance that should never be, a stolen tryst that should f should not happen, but the resistance is futile, and overcome with desire, beautifully written Gypsy, blessings Roy

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. This is very passionate, yet innocent. I covers the senses. I can feel the breeze, smell the jasmine, lavender, and lemon, taste the honey and almonds. I could go on, but I think you get the picture. Wonderful write. Good luck with the contest.

Oh, dang, your author notes were so sad. Your poem was sad, but in a different way. There is still tonight and things in the future are not set in stone. Only the past cannot be changed. Great poem. Gretchen
