Tears
They are but the beginning...29 total reviews
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is an excellent candidate for the Etheree Poem contest.
Image can provide hours of studying, and colour used for the text is a perfect match.
Shape is extremely harmonious. The reverse form of the poem suits the format excellently.
Story is strong and moves steadily from tears into the positive zone.

Comment from Susan Larson
Tears were created to do exactly what your poem says. I remember on Sesame St., one of the Muppets sang, "It's all right to cry. Crying gets the sad out of you." I still cringe at the memories after the death of my son, friends hugging me and saying, "Don't cry. I don't want to see you cry."
Enough said.

Such a wonderful review, Susan - your words are so very true. Have cried until there's an empty well there for now... so it's time to start smiling again! Thank you for both the lovely comments and the bright, shining stars! Enjoy the evening, my lady!

Hello Mystery Writer. :~0
I don't even know what an Etheree is but you wrote a nice poem. Describing tears as a medicine rather than a solution is quite good. No one can cry themselves to healing but it is a wonderful elixir that can promote healing.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I think this is an etheree that has been written as a response to the trials in life. Here is a super line: they can wash away/love's ashes on a scorched heart. Sometimes tears are more healing than we know or realize. I catch some 'g' alliteration in emphasized words Granting and grace. Plus there is 's' alliteration in 'suffuse' and 'sunshine's' as well. Nice job.

A very well-written Etheree about tears that cannot change everything the way we want it to be, but it can bring relief to a hurting heart for a while, and wash away the thoughts in our mind that sometimes make us feel bad.

Your etheree is vividly descriptive and profoundly meaningful, conveying a moving message about the power of tears. As you say, they are a start, somewhat of a cleanser--not a cure all for emotional pain.

Comment from Ronni
So right you are dear Yvette,
Tears are but the beginning for self refuge and releasing welling relief
for snuffing out the fires of love's heartbreak, pain, despair via our
inner fire extinguisher, our human tears, so disposed to such
releases in crisis and severe stress situations, and kindly so
intended by our dear Creator for our own human response source.
True too, after every fire, there are always ashes..and your last 3 lines
so compassionatly and embracinglty reflect the beautiful result and
aftermath of such dutiful and needful tears. Love your Etheree style
here heightening its effect and again, your innate creativity shining
through, and a philosophy that is so like that beautiful mind of yours,
and the way you weave out the profound to the very essence basics.
Thanks for sharing dear! Hope you are taking in a break or two
for yourself with so many projects going on for you now.
Take care, love, blessings always! Ronni (:) (;)

Thank you so very much, Lady Ronni, for the honor of these stars! Know I've been 'out of reach' for past couple of weeks, but had some 'healing' to get through. I'm so glad you enjoyed one of the two posts I made over the past two weeks... they both came from the heart... :) ;) But, I have had enough 'retreat' for now - time to get back into the world of the living - lol!! :) Thank you again and take good care of you, Beautiful Lady!! ;)

Hi dear Yvette,
I know full well about the 'healing' of tears and 'soul surfing through a tide of 'if's, why's, not's..
and relief and pass to go forward amidst the ashes...
glad you are back on glidepath and back to the
world of 'living' again. Hooray
for you dear!!! Life's 'side bars', from the heart always
both wake up calls, and bugle
calls to rise and shine again!
Hope to keep more current
with your fantastic posts dear, so you just go gal! Always miss you lots!!
Love, blessings always (:) (;)
Ronni
