Hi Brenpoet


It is my pleasure to read your poem, "The Snowflake and the Daffodil."


*AsteriskV*Message/Theme: A beautiful poem for your beautiful daughter. What a sad day, remembering the chill of April, a leftover snowflake, and a daffodil. I'm so sorry this happened! We all lose loved ones, so I can relate to how certain items can bring all the memories back/

*AsteriskR*Narrative/Style: The narrative is well told, showing your readers how you all cope, and what items make you remember.

The style is emotional, experience, and a tribute.

*AsteriskO*Form/Flow: The form is four 4-line stanzas with aabb rhyming.

The flow follows the author's thoughts as she remembers.

         *Dropp*Tone: The tone of the author is sentimental, straightforward, and passionate.

         *Dropv*Mood: I feel the mood is somber, sorrowful, and emotional.

*AsteriskP*Imagery/Pace: The imagery is "The daffodils were peeking through amid the swirls of white,
Like little drops of sunshine after the darkest night.

The pace moves with the author's thoughts of a beloved daughter who needed to be laid to rest.

*AsteriskY*FAVORITE LINE:

Grief hangs around like clinging fog and never leaves for long,
It pops up unexpectedly in lyrics of a song,
You think you're managing quite well amid the talk and laughs,
Then suddenly it jumps out from a box of photographs.

*Note*JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION:*Note*
What a beautiful poem for your daughter. My heart goes out to you as I read this poem. 'May she rest in peace.'

*RainbowL*Write On!*RainbowR*


Take care now, keep on writing, I’ll keep on reading,

I love the fantasy images at Leger's shop. I had a gift certificate, so I ordered two.
