Poet Lady Katz: new forum reply to Soul-subsider

New reply from Susan Katz

<p>Good Morning and thank you for sharing another poem with me.  Please see my thoughts below:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have nothing in cold snowy winter<br />Let's wrap up to each other (Let's wrap up "in" to each other or "into"…)<br />Nothing is going to warm me<br />Let me subside into your pious soul. (Let me "slip" into your  pious soul – and question – will that warm you?  If so, than your previous line needs to reflect that…)</p>
<p>I offered nothing to God in wish, because (Do we "offer" wishes or is there a better word?  I would take out the "because" it is not necessary in poetry and seems to get in the way of the natural flow of the poem.)<br />My wish walks side-by-side to me. (with me)</p>
<p>Make me your deep secret diary<br />Express your solitude and felicity upon it (don't need "upon it")<br />Make me your soaked handkerchief<br />I'll wipe out your fallen pearly tears. (I'll "soak up" your…)</p>
<p>You might be unaware of my nights (You might be unaware my nights / string the pearls of scattered tears – beautiful lines!!!)<br />String the pearls of scattered tears.</p>
<p>The poem is really well written and I love your ending.  Just a few suggestions you may consider or discard.  Your friend in poetry, Susan</p>
