Flowing Water

Really I want to give a comment about how this piece moved me and how stunning it was. I want to say how much I miss reading your work and feeling such a simplistic beauty from each piece. I want to say this is the best piece I've read in a while, but I'm not sure it is, and I don't want to lie in a comment to someone as wonderful as you. There are so many things I want to write in this tiny little box about this piece but the words aren't coming right, they don't sound too good at all, and really in the end all I can think is that this is beautiful and so are you.

Well written... sorry for the rant.

Brilliant piece.

This goes without saying, but that was beautiful! I don't know how you do it, but you make your words so tangible, and you put the reader right at the scene. Great work, as always.

This is just WOW Maple! I love it when you write nature poems and this one was with a touch of love. Loved the metaphors & really a brilliant piece of art!

Keep writing:)

This is a truly beautiful poem Andrea! The use of nature to remember each thought was wonderful throughout and I believe there might be a "key word" ineach stanza. As in ribcage raveen. That is very bbeautiful and unique. I think you might be talking about your heart there. Memories in your heart can be good or bad. In the second stanza I loved the use of tiptoe. In my mind that tells me you are saying that these are good mmemories because you have to be quiet or soft to tip toe. I guess it can go both ways. But I see the positive here. I loved the poem as a whole. It has a very unique charm to it. Even the ending line is powerful. The flow was great and as always each line and stanza connect so well!. Well done and nominated.
