I've enjoyed most of the poems in this collection however I especially enjoyed this one. I just love the elaborated similies and the imagery they conjure. A very good job!

The idea- This is a really beautiful poem, great descriptions.

Another beautiful poem.

How do you keep doing this? I'm stunned.

I adore the message behind this. The wording is powerful, the flow is uninterrupted, the images left me speechless.

Wow, this is simply just amazing and very much spell-binding. I loved how you played with the words to create such a touching yet powerful poem. This is got to be one of my all time favourites now :) And yes - the beauty is in the night, whether it be for lovers or just friends/family. But spending the time with a loved one during the night time is very much relaxing as you can easily unwind ;-)

You have great ideas for your poems. I like the similes used, because it's actually pretty easy to relate to them. It MIGHT have been better if they all followed the same kind of theme, e.g. a blooming flower and its stages. But either way, I still think it's a good layout and idea and everything.

I love this poem.

It has a fantastic structure.

I like the idea of describing painting, it gives it an origional effect and shows feeling without having to use words to describe it.

thanks for the read!

Wow, nice poem, I really like the thoughts.

That is a beautiful poem, and I love how you alternate between the doing and the thinking. It's even more beautiful after reading your footnote.

The only thing that seemed slightly odd to me was her painting the clouds and bright colors on top of the darker and deeper. Would be fine for oils and acrylic...but isn't watercolor pretty translucent? (I've worked with oils and acrylic, but not watercolor, so I can't say for certain)

That was my only quibble, though. Lovely piece.

I loved the thought behind this. The last line is particularly strong. I must confess, though, that I think your stories are a little stronger than your poetry. It may be because I'm a big fan of rhythm and figurative language, and this is most definitely free verse, but it's an opinion. The fact remains, however, that you are an amazing author with more talent than I could dream of. ^_^
