Another finely woven piece from you Eddie, poignant and heartfelt, 10 Lynda xx
poignant poem woven with fine metaphors and simile..Thanks for the share...10+++
This one is very well written. The RED LACE references all the way through make the writing and the story memorable. This writing needs no rhythm and rhyme because of those references. A very nice piece and one that carries a kind of interest with it. GW62
Brilliant use of red lace to paint bittersweet memories of a lost lover. Kind regards, Sandra
I really really like this one. Images darted in and out as your visions and memories played to the music of your mind. Karin Anderson
