Sandra, You are a master painter of poetic imagery in words! 10+ =Raj
you paint with words, and your images are so evocative. although here there are no rhymes, but still the poem has music and rhythm. every time i read any of your poems, i just hang on to each line, amazing vision.10 Mamta
The clarity of your images continues to astonish in this mesmerizing piece that paints, with light and grace, the last rays of the setting sun. 'The clarity is bell like to the bone.' and 'the scissor sound of rising wind.' are particularly evocative metaphors. Superb. love, Alison ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Rich vocabulary - threadbare, cut, scissors, heavy cloth - these words entwine beautifully with the images of nature. A finely woven poem Sandra. Justine
Old is gold. It is really pleasure to watch the white clouds moving on the blue sky, as if their hands are drawing variety of pictures on the blue screen. The imagination of Sandra goes sky high and even the clouds she has not spared in the theme of her pen portrait.
