This is a very tender piece Ernestine. The repeat of the first line on each stanza, works brilliantly and give the narrative an affirming andd reaffirming feel. As you know, I am a sucker for well presented rhyme and this is very much that. A very loving poem.
Oh this pulls at the heart Ernestine and is said with such feeling, Thankyou for this great piece A gem as usual Love duncan X
This has a fine flow to it Ernestine. I like the repetition of the first line and the 'classical' feel to the text. Maybe you could try 'tis instead of it's in line three. Just a thought? A wistful, touching poem. love Allie. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
How easy it is to stay 'in the land of nod', especially in this poem Ernestine when things are not as they should be in your day. Perfect rhythm, rhyme and flow. Beautiful.....10 Karin Anderson
