New reply from Susan Katz
<p>Good Morning from here in Connecticut, Suchitra. You have done it again. Such a lovely, melodic poem. Your first stanza sets the tone and we are immediately engaged, and delighted to go on this beautiful journey – love, through your eyes. I do have one suggestion, as it was the only moment in the poem I stumbled a bit -</p>
<p>No bitter berry to</p>
<p>crush your taste of this</p>
<p>sky line of joy this</p>
<p>true wine from above</p>
<p>I think the stanza would flow more rhythmically if you removed one of the "this." Example: "No bitter berry to/ crush your taste/sky line of joy this/…" Or, "No bitter berry to/crush your taste of this/sky line of joy/ true wine…"</p>
<p>Your poem is truly delightful – filled with a gentle – tempting view of love – with the wonderful advice:</p>
<p>"scatter the worry to those stars</p>
<p>shimmering late with jeweled tears" </p>
<p>I will definitely be featuring your poem for our February love theme. Probably next week. Thank you Suchitra. I hope life is treating you well and that you're busy pursuing all of your many creative inclinations. </p>
<p>Your friend in poetry, Susan</p>

Dream love
<p>The first blush of love</p>
<p>rosy shy doe eyed</p>
<p>trembling drop</p>
<p>at the edge of tender leaves</p>
<p>rainbow flighted</p>
<p>sun delighted</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Deeper on to whispered</p>
<p>rush of unheard songs</p>
<p>tremolo of quiet delight</p>
<p>sweet coffee mornings</p>
<p>Sad happy swings</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No bitter berry to</p>
<p>crush your taste of this</p>
<p>sky line of joy this</p>
<p>true wine from above</p>
<p>scatter the worry to those stars</p>
<p>shimmering late with jeweled tears</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Close your eyes</p>
<p>dream love.</p>
