    Well good job first of all it was good i really like the imagery you brought out with the simple things caressing your cheek the porch lights its good but something feels off i can feel that there was feeling and thought put into this but theres no real strong passion behind the feelings its kind of empty. i mean please take no offens it could just be me and it was a great work 5/5

    While I liked the entire poem, what I found most appealing was the first stanza.

    Winter fades and spring sets in,
    The smell of the air is intoxicating,
    While love an passion are growing thin,
    A pain settles in my heart, I'm waiting.

    You utilized lots of antithesis here, juxtaposing winter with spring, and pain in ones heart with the pleasure one would assume arises from having love in ones heart. The contrast between winter and spring conceptually creates a dichotomy between death (winter), and rebirth (spring). I enjoy that very much.

    The change of seasons is a momentous, significant event in the year. This poem too protrudes from the large majority of what I've read, and earned a 5.

    "Grief of words past written on invisible walls"
    That was my favorite line by far. Loved this poem as with many others of yours. The imagery was fantastic here, and your metaphors were connected and strong.
    Thanks for this!

    Wow. truly amazing. bravo!! i especially love the last stanza how you tied everything back to the mist beyond the falls. i especially like ur description with "cherry cheeks" instead of the usual cliche "rosey red cheeks" or something like that. very nice 5/5!

    Yet love still flows like freshly melted creeks,
    The sound almost as angelic as your voice,
    I rub my hand across your cherry cheeks,
    Wanting to stay, afraid its not my choice.

    That was the stanza I enjoyed the most... Love your style of writing, the rhyme was awesome... Very very well worded poems right here...

    A beautiful face appears in the dark calm of night,
    Warm breezes caress me like your gentle breath,
    I can see through the mist, so close yet not quite,
    Life without you the one thing worse than death.

    Later this stanza captured my attention... I just can relate to it... Love the vivid imagery of this poem...

    Among your five latest poems, this title captured my attention the most!!!
