This article has been read 405 times Member Comments Member Date Loren T. Lowery  08/02/12 This is a great theme - life flavored with so many emotions - seasoning it all (upon looking back) with purpose(s) that lasts forever. Noel Mitaxa  08/02/12 Very reflective - and all the moreso because of your economy with words. CD Swanson  08/03/12 Oh my gosh! There are so many great entries this week, and this is one of them! Loved it, and I loved the last two lines. Powerful, moving and prolific. Thank you. God bless~ Charla Diehl  08/03/12 The title made me curious and I'm so glad it did. This was truly a creative take on the topic--it stirred many emotions in me as I went from verse to verse. Enjoyed this entry a whole lot! Dolores Stohler 08/05/12 Beautiful imagery. I really enjoyed this, especially the last verse. Amy Michelle Wiley  08/05/12 Lovely poem. I enjoyed passing through their lives. Helen Curtis 08/05/12 Beautiful. I find it hard to read poems about the fleeting nature of life on this world; melancholy tends to overwhelm my far too sentimental heart. But I really did like reading this; yes, tears fell as usual, but you ended with hope and the promise of a future - and I think that is the key to this kind of emotive poem. So often people are brought to a place of emotional vulnerability or awareness, and then left with nothing to hold on to, to balance the rocking boat. You have a beautiful style of writing for this genre; your choice of words is spot on. Well done on a wonderful piece of writing. Blessings, Helen. Deborah Engle  08/05/12 You have written a lovely poem. I especially appreciate the repetition of the last line. My only concern was the loose connection to the topic of Savory to the taste. Myrna Noyes 08/05/12 You do have a "way with words," and I very much enjoyed this touching piece! Your word images are are so striking! Some of my favorites are: "Catching days like flakes upon our tongues," "Spitting out the rancid worldly choices," "Memories misting down like slow rain," and "Opening old doors of love." Good job! :) Ellen Carr 08/06/12 Just beautiful, so touching and well-written. I loved it. lynn gipson  08/06/12 This absolutely beautiful...brought tears to me...thank you...this is wonderful! Verna Cole Mitchell  08/07/12 Gorgeous poetry! Shann Hall-LochmannVanBennekom  08/07/12 Oh this really touched my heart. It reminds me of something my minister said. I'm facing all of my children entering the next phase of their life all at once and it's leaving me terrified that I may not be needed. But much like your poem suggests--this part of my life must die in order for me to experience the resurrection which will be far greater, still different but greater, than I can imagine. Danielle King  08/08/12 Breathtakingly beautiful. Amazing talent! CD Swanson  08/09/12 CONGRATS!!!! God bless~ Myrna Noyes 08/09/12 CONGRATULATIONS on your E.C. for this lovely poem! :) Danielle King  08/09/12 Congratulations on a very worthy win. Your poem is outstanding! Ellen Carr 08/09/12 Congratulations on your very well-deserved 2nd placing! Ellen Carr 08/09/12 Congratulations on your very well-deserved 2nd placing! Jeanette Oestermyer  08/30/12 What a beautiful poem, and I love the title. Snow does make light because it is so bright and white when new. I still want to submit an entry - perhaps next week.
