Promises Kept Comments

Delicately powerful...this poem is very finely crafted indeed, the use of language is especially clever: 'She gave it, kept it; left and returned.' I think a promise must be one of the few things you can give and keep at the same time...and this line and the lines that echo this further down: ‘Giving them first, then keeping them’ shows the skilful way in which you have juxtaposed the images with an enviable economy of words. The final two lines round this off perfectly…I’m keeping this one. j.

Gary this is just so unique and joyful as well. Thanks for a nice read.
