Hi Beth,
This is a sad and hopeful poem about loss and the things that bring memories to your mind. The artwork is beautiful. It almost looks like a shrine to the love mentioned in the poem
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great weekend.
Joan

Now I like this one a lot. My tastes go towards those of how the scent of sandalwood sounds. I would have voted this one above the nature ones, but that's just me and my taste. You did a great job with it.

You must have a much better memory than me. I'm sure those romantic moments must have happened at some point, but I guess it's been so long ago the thoughts are covered with mud. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks I decided I was going to enter all those fan story contest till I was awarded a first. Last week blew me away when I actually won first on two of them. Now I don't want to quit, but this kind of poetry, Isn't really my thing.

Yes, you had a big week in the contests. Congratulations again!

This is a beautiful cinquain that highlights a love that still resonates in your heart. The scent of sandalwood, the light reflected from the candles, the tones of your favorite song touch all the reader's senses. Well done!

Your chinquain is quite lovely. It's a little smorgasbord of sight, sound, and smell. The overall presentation is as warm as the words. Well done.

I can only give you five stars --I've used up big ones.
The image is lovely, warm looking, and inviting. The background color is well-matched and the verse fits well with the illustration. A wonderful entry.

I love this piece, ma'am. I love how a setting or smell can unlock such wonderful memories. Music does so in a grander fashion, reminding of us of everything we felt in those moments. Thank you for sharing. I apologize that I have no critique to offer.

Thank you Thomas. I see you have just joined fanstory and I hope you will enjoy it here. :You make a lot of friends here. All new members have to get used to rating. You need ro look as how others rate things before you give below five stars. Some get very upset with less than five unless you find a lot that needs to be corrected. L will put you on my fan list so I can read you work.

I really wasn't certain about rating people... I didn't want to just 5 star everything like I didn't care but I can appreciate your point. I will do better! Thank you and have a wonderful day!

reply by T.A. Walk on 12-Nov-2023

Also, I got a message from the system about star ratings this morning. That was informative!! Thank you again for mentioning it!!

This is a very lovely piece of poetry in cinquain style about love. I particularly love this line,
"Our song echoes sweet memories"
Very romantic. Good luck with this.

Beautiful words, BethShelby. Also, the artwork is superbly consistent with the mood of the word content. Did you also produce the art?

Tell me more about your novel.

Thank you Norm for this. You gave me the 26th Review so this one is special since it put me in a different catagory. The picture is from Google. I chose the type and color.

This cinquain, Remembering, has the proper formatting and presents the devices we use to evoke sweet history and moments back to the present. ..................
