Not This Day Comments

Stunning work here Tailor, love the analogies and the stone skimming across the water is one I've wanted to use but not found the correct setting! ! You've done this to perfection.... HG: -) xx

What an ending, and what a title for this state of mind, this affirmation - despite the suggestion this heart was 'held too near'! And the throwing of the stone is such a symbolic act! Like throwing ourselves away. Every line so telling. Another marvel Tailor. jim

This is absolutely beautiful Tailor, I like it very much, Thankyou--Melvina

Stunningly beautiful. A moment of wistful melancholy. Anna Stephens

Tailor - beautiful use of imagery and color - brilliant write! Brought a lovely picture to my mind's eye. Linda

I truly enjoyed this beautiful vision you've left me with Tailor! It reminds me of a painting.......just beautiful. Very nice. Sincerely, mary

I love this poem, Tailor, especially the first two lines. I have put it in my favorite poems

I wonder how many times, that stone skipped. And how many more stones will follow? Danny

Very impressive craftwork, Tailor...Poetic brevity is a penumbra of sorts...as well as a most complex facet of the Art....Your masterfull attention to structure, rhythm and well placed imagwork makes 'NOT THIS DAY', a perfect day for this Poem.

Packed with imagery; wistfulness, difficult to capture at the best of times, expertly depicted. t x

I like your economy of words, Tailor. So may write far too many. Skimming stones... a lovely image. Sincerely, Alison

It is very difficult to render moments like this in writing. A well-painted piece of realism. Susie.

Ah, I love this one too, a lost love, hmmm I can truly relate to this picture. Very soothing composition.--Thankyou Tailor---Melvina

'...gaze accross the world/from the dipping suns' - exquisite. This whole gem seems so effortless (I'm betting it wasn't tho!) . Hugs Anna xxx
