Words written by someone we love can make that person seem alive again when reading their works after their death. Your friends work must have had a profound impact on you. Well written. Good luck in the contest.

A well-written contest entry. I think you completed the challenge of the contest well. The book and electronic files are precious and all you have left. Keep them safe.

A poet after my own heart.

The rhyming is alive
Just like your style
I won't sit and wait around
Not even for a while.


Nicely written and as suave
As a newborn kitten.
Well done and written as it's spun. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.Found nothing wrong.

This is a terrific poem. I love the line about how intimate it is and how you compare it to sex. Great line. The entire poem though does a wonderful job of sharing a story about receiving poems to a lost one (sorry for your lost). Well done.

I loved your poem and the very appropriate photo. I could understand the feeling expressed. Now back to your poem. In stanza two lines two and four were close but did not really rhyme e.g. 'friendship' and 'zipped'. You may be able to improve on this.
Best of luck.

Yes, the rhyme there is rather iffy. Thank you for the 5 stars though. I will try to fix that.
