@kb-writer Music and poetry always go together…let’s just say that. 😉 Also, your signature just is…great.
Hi – I’m even later than Katherine, so hopefully I’m still welcome 🙂 Just to start out, your poetry is lovely and heartfelt. Both Katherine and Evelyn’s advice are superb and I can’t say what they said better than they did.
Since I don’t have anything to critique, I will just say that I love these lines:
“Be my anchor. Still the waves around me.
And hold me tight lest I fall into the cold abyss.
Oh, please keep me in your care, till to the shore
We fare.”While the rest of the poem may need work, this just floored me. It is my prayer every day and to see it written in such a beautiful way, almost like a lullaby, but stronger, was just amazing. And that last line: “we fare” – Just wow. Perfect. Wonderful.
Second poem was also something I related to so much. Lovely work. Keep it up!
