You bring in the drama with each stanza. The star behind the cloud, Summers last caress, sandbanks of tears and the closed door are all strong sad images to make this poem the great one it is! 10 Karin Anderson

A feeling of impending danger - then the sadness of love, I read again and must step back and admire. I Like your style - Cindy

Your work as such a gentle touch to it Laurie I dont think this is your best but I am still touched by it. I hope you never loose that gentleness that your poems carry so beautifully. You are one of my favourite poets. Regards Ann

I like how you led with the cold and dark before introducing the broken heart. This poem reminds me once again of why i like to come and read them. Heartfelt and well expressed. Thank you.
