Corinne,

What a lovely poem:) Usually the name is in the title, but this is just so lovely, I love the old word "Harken"ha ha..it reminds me of that song that has "hark now hear, the angels sing, a king was born today" in it..such a peaceful, joyous song.

Your words are those of a strong woman, who knows how to pick herself up after a severe set back...You go girl:)

God bless,

5/5 Ingrid

I love this its wonderful!

Cornnie,

I adore the optimism in this poem, it gives the reader a sense of confidence and hope.

You know what I love most about your poetry, even though I know you are a song writer and a musician it is still very obvious in your poetry, your verses are always so lyrical and when writing such an uplifting poem like this it gives me much joy.

a cleverly constructed acrostic and lovely read.

Hey Corinne,

I enjoyed reading this. Post-Christmas time I am usually in a state that is internally depressive and externally stoic. So reading something that, along with much of your other work, is simple, direct, clever, musical, and optimistic is a refreshing notion of hope and relief. It really works because the poem addresses said problems, and chooses to maintain hope despite the probelms rather than participating in the self-defeating proverbial act of dwelling on it.

Thank you for this, I think it's important that listeners, readers, viewers, etc. of anything in art exhibit their appreciation of the work of the artist. This made me feel better, if only a little bit, which is all you can ask from art. I maintain that you should pride yourself on achieving one of the many possibilities of art, and use praise like this to remind yourself of that ability.

Thanks again as always, Liam.
