Genuine, eloquent and somehow very touching. Take care. Kindest regards, Sandra

I absolutely love the third stanza, Esther... and a great poem in whole. Another example of your unique poetic range and ability! ! Brian

Sweet melancholy sonnet Esther. And clever, the gently parody of Byron's words in this heartfelt poem of lost love. My favourite line is 'facing each day with a glimmer of hope, scavenged from ends of her fraying rope'. I am most impressed. love, Allie xxxxx

Sigh... with haevy heart, a golden nugget of truth I see in here. I'll be returning to this one for sure. Wise words, perfectly penned, E. t x

Wow, Esther - what Robert Howard said, I can't improve upon. This is finely written, deeply felt, and points toward a universal dilemma through the particular. Finely written, friend.

Wonderful message in this poem. I know you'll be tweaking this, so it'll just get better and better. -chuck

Esther, A beautifully crafted sonnet with finely wrought meaning. A joy to read.

Total surrender is the only option, when it is that special, mutual infinite trust, for which I hope we are all destined. One day. Great write Est. Danny

vERY IMPRESSIVE PENNING, YOUNG LADY...LIKE THE LANGUAGE, AS IT WRAPS YA' AROUND YIR' POETIC SENSES...STERLING WORK, ESTHER... fjr

Oh Esther, this one really, really tugged at my heartstrings. I especially loved the lines - 'For one cannot give of himself to another/When wholly devoted to self like a lover.' Fantastic write. Hugs Anna xxx
