Resonating Echoes
Mother's Day Site Contest: A legacy of remembrance and love65 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This free verse concerning Mothers' Day, Resonating Echoes, is a powerful reminder of all the sagely advice we get and dismiss through the years from the one person who would never steer us wrong. Remembering this always hurts me, as I failed to recognize and honor those attempts to guide me away from trouble.

Comment from June Sargent
This is a beautiful tribute to the memories you have of your mom. It should resonate with many who were fortunate to have such a strong and loving relationship. I miss my mom everyday with her bits and pieces of wisdom. A lovely piece.

Wow this was incredibly touching! Your mother sounds like an amazing individual, tender, wise, and loving. It makes me sad that she isn't here anymore, :,( , but thank you for continuing her legacy and sharing her wisdom with us.

Comment from Tpa
it flows beautifully as I read through it and the punctuation (or purposeful lack of) keeps me at the rhythm that I know the author intended for me. I also pay particular attention to the presentation of it. Since there are usually fewer letters and words than a story or article, I place great importance on the spacing, placement and actual choice of letters and words. Presentation is everything to me with a 5.0.

Comment from MissMerri
I loved the way you wrote this, and adored the description of your mother that came through these beautifully rendered lines. How unique and touching and sweet this is! I doubt there is any way to make it better. I look forward to seeing a ribbon on this when the contest ends. Just priceless, it is.

Hello Diane,
A beautiful tribute to your mother, the echoes of a lifetime,
warm, sensitive, touching, insightful, humorous.
She was spot on with each word,
but you left one out:
Never chase after boys near open chimneys.
This is a winner, best wishes to you.

Hah! Robert!
The chimney incident is a story unto itself... one that almost involved my not making my First Communion...for not lying outright to my father when he questioned all of my cuts and bruises, but for not being forthright, either...Hmmm...perhaps I should record all of those details...for posterity's sake... :)
I am honored by your exceptional rating and thoughtful review.
My mother was such a dynamic force in my life; she still is...
So very pleased my words resonated with you!
Thank you again!

-Beautiful image and
very nice presentation, diane.
-Notes are appreciated.
-This is a beautiful poem that mere
words in this review can't do justice to.
-I love how you show each piece of
advice your mother gave you, and
then show your reaction.
-It is heartfelt and shows her
wisdom and love, and how she wants
you to be the best person you can be.
-Your reactions are honest ones. We
don't always listen to our mothers,
but somehow they have a knack of
knowing things before we do!
-A lovely tribute to your mother for
Mother's Day; I am sure she is smiling,
and saying some endearing words to you.
-Good luck in the contest, and
have a very Happy Mother's Day!

Hello Pam!
So very pleased my words resonated with you!
I am honored by your exceptional rating and thoughtful review!
She surely had an uncanny second-sense about life and relationships...Such a dynamic force in my life, and although she has been gone since 2007, she still is...
Thank you again, Pam!

You are very welcome and deserving, diane. I don't have either of my parents, either, but, like you, they remain a strong presence in my life, too.

I have never heard of the term Sunshine Friends before, but you have done an amazing poem. I especially liked the free verse aspect and the way it flowed, it kept me engaged and made for a great read.

Hello Bichon!
I am thrilled that you enjoyed my offering!
Thank you for your exceptional rating and complimentary review.
"Sunshine Friends" is a term used by folks of my parent's generation! I always thought it was a wonderful way to explain to children why friends they thought were friends might choose not to be: The sun doesn't shine every day; it comes and goes...just like some of our friends...
Thank you again!
