Lovely remembrance, and very romantic, Beth. Great overall presentation - I like the soft lighting in the image. Good luck with the Cinquain contest.

Aww. That's sweet, Beth. Surely this will do well. Love the careful linking of the candle to the scent to the song. It works really well without punctuation. Good luck. X

Oh so elegant Cinquain! The "S" alliteration is an added layer of finesse.

Great color choice to accompany your image, as well.

Sweet and seductive!

I like the way you've explored multiple senses here in just a few short lines. You've used the cinquain form perfectly and your chosen words, along with the accompanying image, create a sense of warmth and safety. Good luck for the contest.

Oh, that's so beautiful the gorgeous text you chose. The lovely picture and your word choices make a beautiful package this is very lovely. Romantic too. There is no line that I could pick that would be my favorite because the whole thing is a fine package. Don't see any issues with grammar or sentence structure or esthetics or subject matter, you've done a really good job and made a fine submission best of luck to you. I hope you're having a good night!

    Thank you Lea. I don't usually do contests for short poems but I need to practice because this site seems to ask for them often.

Such a tender poem, Beth. It radiates the love you've felt for someone you've lost. Presumably, I guess, your husband. Simply put, but covers years of memories.
Take care, my friend,
Rhonda

    I felt that through the poem, and you don't express that hurt often!

    He was nine years older than me and I knew it was likely he would go first but we had 61 wonderful years together.
