A free verse really well done with all the sensations of feeling, hearing and sight involved in the descriptions. I'm guessing that it's Andrea Bocelli singing in Italian and the physical experience of art is affirming one's existence.

    You are correct. It was Andrea Bocelli and yes your response is just that "the physical experience of art is affirming one's existence". Thanks so much for your very perceptive review. It is so very much appreciated.

Poem depicts that inspiration can indeed come from several sources surrounding a person.

Well written and details its theme.

Should make an interesting entry into this contest.

I enjoyed this writing. I thought it was well written and conveyed a message
The words were well chosen and right to the point.

Appeals to all ages. I would recommend it to family and friends.

It is philosophical and educational

Hi, I enjoyed reading your poem for this contest. It's a lovely entry.
The first line refers to being 'tropical and warm.'
Your image choice is dark. Perhaps you might consider swapping it for a warmer, tropical image for this contest.
I'm not sure who 'Andre' is in your poem. Perhaps he was dear to you but has now passed away?

    Thank you for the wonderful review. I will take your advice into consideration.
    I was listening to Andrea Bocceli's cd and wrote this on my way to work in 2003.
    Kind regards.

    Ah, I love Andrea Bocceli's music. Blind, but handsome, rich and talented.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Wow! What beautiful descriptions, that change like your being in the lines of this poem. No forced rhyme, just unconfined imagery. You are what you need to be, when you need to be. Fabulous job.

Oh, one thing: Did you mean for 60% to be written after Mother Earth?
