Poets are the sad creatures walking in the rain, gazing at flowers, believing in impossible love. Your poetry captures the sadness I believe in, I wish I could place the tears of God in your hands, but I know that they're there and that will have to suffice. Uriah Hamilton
Beautiful imagery that evokes both warmth and melancholy in this reflective piece. The opening two lines are simply stunning...Justine
no offence meant but some parts of the poem remind me of plath. especially the last few lines. similar sensitivities i felt when reading hers and also the subtle references to love that make the lines so strong. i love your poems, sandra. keep going.
