It is very vivid, and you succeed in taking your readers on a spontaneous adventure. I love the "teaching" commentary too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190056702607589602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711612866265801983.post-71873000304337306482013-05-16T18:16:12.246-04:002013-05-16T18:16:12.246-04:00Thanks for the compliment, Susan!
(Please forgive...Thanks for the compliment, Susan!<br /><br />(Please forgive me for pointing out what may have been just a mere typo on your part, but "where", which indicates a location, should be "were", the plural past tense of "are". But to get even more technical, since you are only talking about ONE thing, the contrast, the sentence should read: The contrast WAS beautifully expressed.)<br /><br />Susan, Poetry Perfected is run by an English teacher/poet! In keeping with the theme and title of this blog, I HAD to point this out!<br /><br />That said, I truly hope you will be back to comment in on future poems! <br /><br />I am giving all of us an opportunity to learn, and interact with one other, here! So feel free to respond to me!<br /><br />I am honored that you, and others, have taken the time to read, comment, and like my poem(s). Thank you so much!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158165871114032127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711612866265801983.post-47453248178745184682013-05-16T18:06:41.372-04:002013-05-16T18:06:41.372-04:00Thanks to you, too, Jeri!
