Thank you for sharing this very emotional poem with me.  How meaningful that something as simple as a pair of jeans, becomes such an important element in one’s life and thus, in one’s poem.  I can feel the heart hurting in your poem and, in the end, making the reader feel, is what poetry is all about,  I will add your poem to those I am considering for Featured Poem of the Month for July.  – Susan

Thank you for sharing your poem with me and for submitting it for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month for July.  I particularly liked your line “Now you have become my poetry…” as it gives us a glimpse into you and to what inspires you to write.  I would suggest that you go back over your poem and see if you can edit a bit on English translation, as you have wonderful ideas/visions that are not stated as clearly, in English, as one would hope,  Please do keep on writing, as I can sense the passion in you for words and poetry, Susan

[Susan Katz]

Thank you so very much for sharing your poem with me and for submitting it to be considered for Featured Poem of the Month for July.  I am touched by your connection to nature and how carefully you observe the world around you, from “the chirping of the birds” to “the tiny little drops (of rain) falling” on your hand.  The first rule of the poet is, first notice everything!  Thank you again, for sharing.  – Susan

[Susan Katz]

I am so very sorry, but I can only accept poems written in English.  I wish you very good luck with your work, Susan

[Susan Katz]

Thank you very much for sharing your poem with me and, for submitting it for consideration as Featured Poem of the Month for July.  I was surprised, as I read your poem, to discover “she” was a mother deer anxious for her beautiful baby.  You display a lovely connection to nature and to living creatures, which comes through in your words and lines and message.  Again, thank you for sharing, Susan

[Susan Katz]

Thank you so much for submitting your lyrical love-song poem for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month for July.  You have some very lovely lines in your poem.  I particularly liked, “Her giggles resonated rhythmically like the tinkling of the bells” and “With a gentle hold of her chin, he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, to see thousands of emotions reflecting in her eyes.”  – Susan

[Susan Katz]

Thank you for submitting your poem for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month for July.  There is certainly a great deal of “self” in your poem, making it a personal experience for the reader.  I very much like the concept of trying to “catch a glimpse of your soul.”  It gives the reader something meaningful to think about.  – Susan

[Susan Katz]

I appreciate you sending this very gentle and philosophical poem about love for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month.  I am now looking at poems to select  for July, as I have already made my choice for June.  I like the contrasts you offer in the poem – star-filled and star-less nights, each offering hope.  Thank you so much for sharing, Susan

[Susan Katz]

Once again, I very much enjoyed reading your poem.  There is passion and purpose in your lines and many of them give us a “visual” view of the pictures you are trying to paint with words. I would suggest that you think of words in a poem as very precious and only use those that are absolutely necessary to the rhythmic and intellectual journey you want to take the reader on.  In poetry, less is more!  I do appreciate you sharing your work with me, Susan

[Susan Katz]

Your poem takes us on a voyage of self-discovery, giving us a view into your own, personal, inner journey from “dust” to “the shade of my work in life/might lesson the burden on the scales.”  Quite an intense and emotional journey of self revelation and, you do have some very fine lines and images in your poem.  I thank you so much for sharing it with me, Susan

[Susan Katz]

I very much enjoyed reading your very “love-filled” poem.  Some of your lines give us a lovely vision of the world you are presenting to us – a world where love thrives and revives the soul.  I particularly liked “the freshness of spring bowed in front of her smiles” and “the wings of love reached my soul.”  Thank you so much for sharing your poem with me, Susan

[Susan Katz]

I appreciate you sharing this very personal poem with me.  I can sense your intensity and emotional commitment to your writing and that is the fist step towards becoming a true poet.  The poem also seems to come directly from your heart.  – Susan

[Susan Katz]

I want to thank you for sharing your poem.  I believe you have some fine moments in the poem but, would suggest that you let the image (not the rhyme) take the reader where you want them to go.  For example:  “The stars came down/surrounding me in light/and I forgot my fear” is a more poetic way of saying what your poem intends.  It takes us to the place you want us to be, surrounded by light so bright, it makes us forget to be afraid.  If prose is an open hand, than poetry is a closed fist – tighter and more emotionally charged.  Keep on writing, I believe you have the passion for it.  – Susan

[Susan Katz]

Thank you for sharing this very interesting and very emotional poem with me. I can sense your investment in your writing and there are some vivid thoughts and lovely moments in your poem.  Keep on writing… – Susan

[Susan Katz]

Thank you so much for sharing your poem, about the nature of love, with me.  I was touched by how you managed to create a sense of reality in the relationship between the sun and moon and the sun and the clouds.  You must be a very good observer of nature and the drifting of day into night, and night into day.  I appreciate your sending in your poem and will add it to those I am considering for Featured Poem of the Month for June.  – Susan
