A beautiful piece of writing. Thanks.

The soul is a shadow of life

Like this, the three lined stanzaic structure, good rhymes.(One small point, did you capitalise Forsythia with intent in the last verse, and in the first verse not?) . Excellent write.

Hi Sandra - this is a perfect poem in structure - metre - rhyme and content. It merits a MAX. The FORSYTHIA is so beautiful and bright that it is a perfect metaphore for linking our love and prayer and God's love to those who are our protectors. V 1 The colour of Forsythia to lift our spirits and 'Warm war weary eyes against the light' V 2 The power of the Forsythia to release from pain and restore hope 'Something resembling Sun will rise again'. V 3 The beauty of Forsythia to eclipse 'The ignorance of war' V 4 The touch of the Creator in Forsythia 'Like a Prayer' enables us to 'Pray for them a Spring somewhere' - Excellent Love in Poetry - JOHN.

This message of 'spring some where' - gives us the strength to carry on, With hope in our hearts and our trust in God! 10! -Raj

more than anyone else, those suffering in war need to be reminded of beauty, hope and love....and the forsythia with its sunshine of color can very well be that reminder of one's humanity.....

There's a website somewhere.... poets against war.

This is such an enchanting poem Sandra, a real pleasure to read. Best wishes, Andrew

beautiful..................god bless them all.................

As a thirty six year around the military type of guy This poem makes me want to cry For articulating so beautifully What my bruised soul has been denied. Bill Grace

Powerful and beautiful with a strong and musical flow. Passionate.

The emotion flows through this poem Sandra, excellent write indeed.--Melvina--

This poem is so comforting, so brave, so sad. The rhymes never trap the (very original) artist into cliche.

A wonderfully eloquent write - I particularly liked the line ' Shine on Forsythia burn like a prayer'. Kind regards, Justine

This is so beautiful, I had to read it again and again, absolutely radiates with emotion.

Sandra: I like this one, would you check out my poem titled 'The completion at last' it deals with ignorance of war and prejudice

You played my heart strings with the gentlest of rhythm and action and at the end the crowd within cries out for more.

Excellent, soul-uplifting poem, Sandra. God bless your work even more! Regards, Dr John Celes

How wonderful are the softness of these words. The Forsythia when it blooms to me is the first sign of spring. This poem really warmed my heart, cheers Sylvie
