After a long spell I am reading your poems again. It is like a new discovery. You include so many shades of meanings in your well-chosen words and images. Your feelings and thoughts are expertly expressed.

Your use of metaphors, picture-adjectives, nouns, and action verbs brings life to this poem. Your inclusions of musical terms is definitely a plus and sets an appropriate setting. There is a certain nostalgic ambience of many good memories recalled and your ending is thoughtful, rewarding and complementary. I like the rhythm of the reading. Well done.

Beautiful is the word here without a doubt. An eloquent tribute to a friend who will always live in the landscapes of your mind. Your graciousness becomes you. Take care. Warmest regards, Sandra

A reminiscence very well expressed! I often think of those devoted teachers of my strict Methodist Missionary School of Calcutta and also pray for them! -Raj Nandy
