A Tender Reprieve Comments

'languishing agony' - this poem is delicate in its revelation of an unpracticed lover, an authentic person not a type, and for that and more, it is a beautiful poem.

Particularly lovely. I too enjoy the transition between the next to last and last stanza. an amazing completion of the imagery first glimpsed in the title.

Uriah, You break my heart. Reading your work is a truly humbling experience. S

Beautiful, simply beautiful.

Wow, you can write. This is wonderful... you have a gift, Uriah. Hugs, CJ

I like this one, Uriah. It is extremely sentimental of course, but most of us have felt this way at one time or another. I particularly like the last stanza. It really could stand on its own. One has to be careful with this kind of poem for it all too often is maudlin. I don't think yours is. Raynette
