Rating: 3.2

So, I shall see her in three days
And just one night, but nights are short,
Then two long hours, and that is morn.

A few lines of the poem that mesmerized me: 'Only a touch and we combine! ' 'And my eyes hold her! " 'The dark inspired, the light controlled As early Art embrowns the gold'. Congratulations on the poems selection as the 'Poem of the Day'!

(- -) but poetic love is very sensitive cause of meeting short night it's true that every true lover feels the night of love is short, too short and night of separation is long, too long poetic fear is here that if the beloved comes with short night and again goes for long separation this shape of loneliness will be very pathetic

Waiting is never easy but imaginative world makes it awesome special. The three days and the short night full of so much calculations that race in mind only to make three days and one small night yet special. Beautiful creation.

A love poem, with direct speech, spells the effect of anticipation, waiting for three days and one night before he sees her again. realistic.and enjoyable.

The poem beautifully comes to its theme, 'No fear! - -or if a fear be born This minute, it dies out in scorn. Fear? I shall see her in three days And one night, now the nights are short, Then just two hours, and that is morn....' Lovely.

The anticipation so well shown and carried through the poem. Anticipation is so often even better than the happening.

Here grace of three days could not pacify and beautify the wholeness but short time of night (two hours) ruins the wholeness! mastermind writings

Great poem of love and longing where the measure of time is checkered one as if to cheat a lover: So, I shall see her in three days And just one night, but nights are short, Then two long hours, and that is morn.
