Willow,
Here it comes the trumpeted and heralded Bohen review!
Willow, very good poem in my estimation, you are obvious about what emotion you are attempting to share, yet you touch upon it in a soft and easy way.
Your passion is apparent! Write often and worry not about composing, merely write whilst the passion fire is burning.
As I pointed out in my latest release "Letters to Carla"...It is not what we write that frees us, but how honest and earnest, our attempt in heart was executed, for the reward is given to the one who dares the journey in unbridled courage and insight. And remember everything you write is important! For it bears the scent and essence of you....
Write on sweet spirit, and submit hear as often as you like, for your talent and honesty warrant it! But remember........ya gotta be ready to handle the trumpeted Bohen review.....and please take this my favorite quote with you from "Letters To Carla"....."If you show them your heart, all men of value shall embrace it".........
warmly,
Rodney Bohen
