Love it Jane. The picture is gorgeous and of one of my favorite things in the world. You describe her magic beautifully.
The poem has a grace as she does and flows like her milky reflection on the ocean. Thanks for sharing.

Debbie commented on the post, Lifting Cloud by Sue MacDonald 1 day, 12 hours ago
Great poem Sue. Oh those clouds that we are begging to lift. We get hope and then not just yet. I love the reflective feel of your words and looking into the meaning of the artist as you would understand.
I love the playful cat in the midst of the seriousness and the choice to all embrace that side of ourselves.
Thanks for sharing.

You paint a beautiful picture with your words which flow wonderfully. I love the beginning about seeing the thunderstorms first as we so often look to the negative.
I liked that you came back around to our worst predictions not happening after all.
Thanks for sharing.

Debbie commented on the post, “PORTRAIT OF JULIA HANEY” by C Alexis 1 day, 12 hours ago
I like the picture and how you wrote about it. The questions in getting to know someone- so many.
I liked the change in sentence length to very short as the end nears and hopes for answers are lost.
Thanks for sharing.

Debbie wrote a new post, Beneath the Brightness by Debbie Gravett 1 day, 13 hours ago
See what is behind this rainbow vision of light
A soul’s façade for your comfort shining bright
Disguise as flower the distress of the thorn
Never show the shreds life has carelessly torn
Ever the careful on […]

Debbie commented on the post, What's A Standard by Wanda Lovan 1 day, 14 hours ago
Great poem Wanda. All these standards that we live by, that sometimes differ in other parts of the world. Imagine the chaos if we didn’t have any?
I like the flow and short sentences giving me the feel of rules and that’s it, end of story! It has been decided.
You bring it all together nicely at the end that no matter the standards, pollen…[Read more]

Thank you for reading and your kind feedback Christy. Much appreciated.
It is a realization that I myself came to when I was young and had one of those stupid checklists. Funny thing was my husband and I were friends and went out with other friends and I was reciting this list. Hahaha! Little did I know that my soul mate was sitting right next…[Read more]

Love the message of your poem Thomas. It is a sad truth that some people are only looking out for themselves, but I have also seen some amazing acts of kindness during these difficult times. Let us hope for an infection of kindness to replace this pandemic.

Debbie commented on the post, Those Little Dots and Dashes by Susanne Bennett 3 weeks, 2 days ago
I find the line breaks in poetry provide the pauses that I need and I don’t want to add question marks because It stops the flow and sing-song feel of a poem. It creates a pause that the end of the line will do, but not a full stop to think about the question, but to leave it in your mind and ponder once you’re finished reading the whole poem. I…[Read more]

Debbie commented on the post, Meeting Miss Jones’ Standard by Christian Donovan 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Great poem Christian. You transported me to your classroom and a time that I don’t have experience with, with inkwells. These girls would do way better than I would with a few of those words that you listed. The fear.
I liked the format you used for the teacher’s words right aligned.
Thanks for sharing and have a fantastic day.

amazing thoughts expressed beautifully
Wow, that last line will stay with me a long time. Beautiful and unsettling.
I love how the words flow so easily.
Beautiful and unsettling indeed. So many masks worn for so long that the truth gets too confusing to bear. Well done.
Such a gorgeous painting and it could be construed in many ways. I like your description of it – it is like us – scratch away and see what you find underneath. Beautifully written Debbie:)
Hello Debbie, I love your choice of artwork. Nice job on the prompt, especially making the poem rhyme. One of my favorite lines is “A soul’s facade for your comfort shining bright.” Well done and thanks for sharing!
A beautiful painting with a very honest and interesting interpretation. So rightly expressed in a few lines, how we hide the emotions within to portray a flawless image to the world. Well Done! Thanks for sharing ❤
Hello Debbie,
Your poem does justice to this lovely picture. I like the rhyming scheme you’ve chosen – it’s very natural language. Thanks for sharing the poem.
