Lucero,

What wonderful free verse here that is beautifully laid out and an absolute pleasure to read. It flows wonderfully.

My only advice is that "thumb" should be "thump" - thumb is what's on your hand!

Brilliant writing and all the best,
Ben

You speak from the heart.

I am pretty sure you like me are also a member of allpoetry . If not google Dirty Pretty
The sand on a beach I assume is pure like your beautiful poetry. At first glance the word Poetry with an upper case P seemed out of place. Poetry is about beauty aa my mentor Gibran stated so it is not that hard for me to personify it." And if tomorrow comes
that Poetry did not come
like she did today"

This to me shouts liberty

not silently,
not quietly,

but loudly

There are times when it seems not to be a blessing to be poor in spirit . I know I could be easily intimidated by you

I would not change a thing now 5/5

PS I had to look up promenade which fit so perfectly in this masterpiece

This is worthy of the front page in my opinion

Beautiful!Favourite.

Excellent write. Add to my favorite.

Hello,

excellent piece. I especially like the format.

Well done on your win.

Take care,

Michael

Lucero,

Wonderful write that fully deserves the front page! Well done and all the best,
Ben

Truly a wonderful free verse!!! I love your layout and word choices, simply brilliant!
Congrats on your win!!!

Congrats on your well deserved win

The formation or rather the birth of a poetry and her inspiration! You have given poetry an elegant physique and I also like the way you have presented it...the shape of it gives a beautiful expression...well done and...Congrats on the Win dear :)

I swear I thought I had commented on this poem. I am remiss.

The words you use to describe poetry's progress (promenade, strolling) evoke a sense of quiet, reverie. She loses herself in the "soul of the sun." So profound!

But your change-up "let her come . . . loudly" is masterful.
Well done and well deserved win.

I thought I had commented as well, but turns out I commented as a sub judge, not on the actual poem. Anyway, I gave your poem 10 points and was extremely happy to see it on the front page for a week! Great writing.

"The piece dawned on me quietly at first, but loudly at the end; a powerful narrative that has slight nuances of it indicating that this is a piece about the author's muse, or perhaps a battle with writers-block. It's encapsulates the feelings that writers get, the gentle stream of inspiration, the every now and there flood of inspiration, and the overwhelming desire to express ourselves. This piece is extremely relatable, and is written beautifully!" (7 pts)

Side note: While I was searching for this poem, I typed in "if tomorrow", and there were two immediate results, this 'if tomorrow comes', and the other was 'if tomorrow never comes', although it seems like nothing at first, it made me realize that your poems tend to be on the more positive side, and that speaks a lot about you!

This is a masterpiece! I am breathless
Take care, Em

Came back to read this again :)
