What a wonderful surprise this poem turned out to be. I certainly did not expect to find such a pleasing work as this. You snuck up on me with this one. Your words resonate or at least they should resonat with everyone who has ever given thought to writing a poem. You perfectly state the case for poetry and its effect upon all who read and write it. Good work.

I really liked the poem I found it extremely insightful. The author words are descriptive, filled with emotions and certainly thought provoking. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork fit well with this poem.
