Missy, this is truly lovely. Your poem about love says it all. Not only well written but so clever words chosen to paint your sentiment. Well done. I liked it a lot. Best regards. Ulla

    Thanks sug for this encouraging review. Sometimes I am not sure if I am learning anything like meter and such but I can from time to time rhyme. :)

    Always,
    Missy
    The artwork drove the words :)

    Missy, my problem is that I don't know the first thing about meter an so, but I know when I read something well written. Ulla xx

    :)...me either..when I get reviews telling me about meter I am like ...duh..ok then...lol
reply by Ulla on 22-Jul-2015
    I can imagine, but I think you have a natural talent for poetry. And I know you want to learn. Like me writing prose and ind my second language. Sometimes it is hard. Ulla

    oh really...English is not your first language...fooled me :) Poetry is not what I came here for ...Short stories..was my main idea. I am learning now in both...I am gonna look again at some of your older stuff..later..got to mow the grass now...lol..grrr life :)

Poetry, words from deep inside someone's heart. The sharing of thoughts and feelings so personal and private, with the willingness to give, asking nothing in return. Great job. :-)

A beautiful poem! A fine metaphor; a lovely lady; a lovely, colorful day.. The glow of her flesh, to be compared to the canvas of mother nature. Perhaps the poet's zeal to overwhelm us with glowing images, sometimes rocks the cadence of some lines. No matter. -Ekim777

I like the short, then longer lines here.
Sounds like a painting in the making.
Nice analogy between colours and your feelings of love.
I hope you are not forgotten.

I have to say that you have the heart of a poet in the lyrical way you approach each subject. This clever use of colour and those of autumn in particular, give your poem a palette from which you can explore the notion of love: red for passion, White the color of grace, pink as the softness of my heart. A nice natural flow to the lines and an original structure. Great work.
SPAG: Brown's and yellow's are plurals so you don't need the apostrophes.

    I truly was going to send a search party looking for you.
    Thank you for coming back :)
    Thanks also for reading and reviewing this for me... I will correct that boo boo right now!

    Always,
    Missy
    Does "original structure " mean that all this is... Is rhyme?
reply by mfowler on 21-Jul-2015
    No, I meant you've used differing length stanzas (1,2 etc lines), two parts (split by asterisks), and kept it as a rhyming poem. Works effectively in this instance.

    Thank you for clarifying Mark

Unforgettable. I love the title. I love all the vivid colours you paint on your canvas of your poem. You have included the red and pink for love, the colours browns and leaves for autumn, blues and greens cover nature, and the sunrises and sunsets. You then wove a fine covering of graceful white around it. You my dear friend can never ever be forgotten.

This is a sweet and tender poem, Missy, pure and simple in its delivery.

There's no forced rhymes to contend with (I hate forced rhymes) and your tempo was smooth.

Good job.
