Mirage

It's like what I was going for when I submited "That was me" Excellent write, Mark

I can see you are truly everywhere for those who love you Janice and this is a sweet and loving poem I must say. Made me feel warm inside so thanks. Keith (PS it should be "shining" i think)

I look forward to reading your poetry...and this is another fine example. I think we all want to leave someone smiling for eternity.. smiling.. Richard

To have ones presence felt when not physically there is a sweet aspiration, indeed. I love it. Always, Cat

The Beauty of the poem shines strongly, thank you for sharing it has helped, and lifted my day, Smiling with thanks.. Peter ~~~~~~~~~Creativity Is to think more efficiently~~~~~~~~~~

The mirage, the ghost, the guardian angel.... One feels safe after reading this poem. Two tiny comments, the line I sent a smile to warm your heart. seems to have an extra beat I think. Perhaps better: But a smile to warm your heart. And the word mid-days should be mid-day's, possessive. Just minor suggestions, liked this a great deal. Alobar (Just my two cents, spend them on gum if you wish.)

I challenged you to write a poem not about love (and still do) but you have done a love poem beautifully, freshly and lingeringly. After a very shaky start you have really started to express yourself truly, rather than in cliches. I congratulate you. That's what I adore adore about this site. As much as I love the classic poets, there is always something truly human available in poetry, it is not a lost form, your are one of the people learning to prove it. Thank you, Jess

I only have two words, make that one word to say. Beautiful! Rett
