From A Distance Comments

nicely penned. I like different styles of poetry. it helps keep the work fresh and appealing.

different from your usual style but done with such grace, a good write

Different style maybe but never stop from pleasing readers mind...i love this! _Soul

Different indeed Val. Reminds me of D.H.Lawrence's style in some ways. Nice poem.

Very nicely penned. Only a poetic heart can appreciate so many things over a piece of glass.

Really enjoyed your modern format especially a diamond cast down from Heaven Will there be more?

Only a poet of your bent of mind will thus be deluded and only a poet of your calibre can invest so much beauty in a broken piece of glass! Splendid! !

it actually happens....things from a distance appears to be something else than what it is when we go closer...a very nice representation of a broken glass that shmmered like a diamond cast from the heaven

Being the vers libre, Yes, it is different from your stanza form, but beats and pulse, breaks and pauses are still Valerie Dohren brand...T.S.Eliot rightly said that Free-verse is not Free verse! ... the ending is dramatic! a mutually shared delusion! ! !

A departure from your usual style - - but LOVELY! Can we say distance lends enchantment to the view?

So original and thought provoking, how an old jagged piece of glass, from an old broken bottle with the suns rays illuminating it into a treasure!

very interesting masculine to feminine the perception, a poetic perception, combination of eyes and mind wow thank you very much to have the poem fact is at the end

I love every bit of it....you have now pushed my observation further and further! Thanks Valerie. A big 10.

Like it, it's amazing what you think you can see when it refects with the sun. A great poem.

Lovely poem Valerie

A great and very poetic observation. Superb poetry, very interesting to read.

A delightful poem. I often feel like a piece of broken bottle cast aside. A lovely write.

No matter the format, only you can turn a piece of litter into a clever poetic thought, nicely done Valerie....

Really beautiful, I like it. thanks.
