Good companions

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is a really interesting poem. I wish I had a sixth star to give you. At the beginning you see nothing worth living for and consider despair. But then the gifts of Hope and Faith offer to walk into the future with you. Thy give you reason to look forward and hope for what is to come.

Excellent entry for the Free Form Poetry Contest. You grasped the form well. Nice presentation. Your descriptive words flow well expressing clear mental imagery of a man think about suicide but finding faith and hope.
Good luck in the contest.

Author,
This is a very beautiful poem.
Nice metaphor using desert to signify emptiness, and the oasis as new hope.
I guess if all of us weather the desert in our lives, we'll be lifted by hope and protection.
Great poem, author.
Best wishes,
Cindy

This is a powerful poem. Your emotions are expressed well in the poem. It is written well. Is this true? I wasn't sure.

Without hope or faith, the world does look gray. We can't quit dreaming either. What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest! Have a great day, and God bless.

Hi, Snowball
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
You captured a lot of emotion here of what someone who lost her or his his spouse would feel
Heartbroken, depressed, hopeless, dejected, grieving
And then you have the protagonist find new love again and everything turns lash and green. I'm not sure what color the sky was in the desert. Apparently, it wasn't blue.
It could be that it was blue and that it is still blue
I felt the emotions you were portraying. That's what a good writer does
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

What a moving and evocative poem! The imagery of the barren desert contrasted with the promise of renewal is beautifully done. For me it's a wonderful reminder of the comfort that hope and faith can bring. Wonderful work!

Hello Snowball, you've penned a wonderful poem. It is filled with great analogy. I especially liked:
l ask their names.
'HOPE' said one,
'FAITH",said the other.
'We will be your companions
(How wonderful. What a positive outlook, and it Illustrates the power of faith.)
This poem made me smile. Good sensory appeal. Well done.

Thank you, LateBloomer. I am a very keen gardener and appreciate late bloomers at a time when a lot of flowering plants are beginning to lose their lustre and beauty. l try to arrange my planting so that there is interest and beauty throughout all the seasons up to the end of the year and into the renewal of the new spring.It is the same with writing. One needs to keep the reader interested until the end of the story. Thank you for your kind words. i am pleased that the poem made you smile.
