A Review from "Simply Positive Review Forum " ! What brought Hoovsie meandering in a space time continuum over to your port? I saw your poem featured in the Poetry Newsletter and came to read. Congratulations on being selected to be in the Newsletter! What does hoovsie think about while perusing your item? This is about regret over a failed relationship. It's free verse, so technically anything goes. You have proven that you don't need a lot of words to say a lot. You just need to find the right words to convey a lot of meaning. And you have done that very well. What does hooves moo and applaud about while reading your item? This was my favorite part: "raised glasses faltered as gold turned to burnt orange and a toast to the future became our last farewell" Of course the sorrow is laced throughout the poem and it is ironic that a toast to future happiness brings the saddest of goodbyes. I especially admire the contrast there in looking to the future while dealing (or I should say, coping) with the fallout of the past. Beautiful poem with an engaging title. I cannot imagine another title that would be better here. Well done, indeed! HOOVES, a.k.a. COWser Soze, a.k.a. tHiNG a.k.a. 4ps P.S. I love to read and send reviews. I go through the Poetry Newsletter pretty much on a weekly basis to find reading when I a the mood for a poem. It has been lovely to visit with you! Ta Ta until we meet again in another place and time.... "Avoiding Toothless Rabid Bullies & Such" My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
