After The Long Winter Comments

The sense of loss can be acutely felt throughout this wonderful poem. In the absence of the beloved, the whole world has turned upside down but the poet still wants to find her in his memories. A beautiful poem depicting the power of love and the agony of loss.

I enjoyed reading this poem. What made it excellent to me was the vivid imagery, I could see it all just by reading the lines (no need to go in between too much.) It was a lot like admiring art work in a museum for me. Intriguing, tasteful and tranquil with deep consideration. I'm not very good with comments, (like the others who have beat me to it) but I will say I thoroughly enjoyed it. you've done an excellent job.

Agreed, Marie definitely has an eye for poetry. This is a masterpiece, the quiet kind that doesn't shout and command you to listen, but rather draws you in tugging at your inner curiosity. This definitely captures the feeling of loss, right from the first line & down to the last. The only comfort is that she may be found in other gardens, but even that is saddening. ~Nika
