| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 08/16/06 at 10:51 PM I read this aloud imaging your wonderful Irish brogue reading to some lucky woman. The phrase, "Be still my heart..." comes to mind - how very romantic! ;-) Such wonderful imagery, I can see the green hills and blue sky in my mind.

| Posted by Angela Nuzzo on 02/14/07 at 10:49 AM Peter, I agree with Michelle's first comment - I would LOVE to hear you read this. As I read it, I can hear a voice in my mind saying each word. It's amazing what you can do WITHOUT punctuation! I like how the poem starts with the huge sky and it all comes down to a kiss. :) Just beautiful. Valentine's Day perfection! |

| Posted by JD Clay on 02/14/07 at 03:03 PM The best way to understand and appreciate this trustworthy Poem Of The Day is to know when a kiss is more than just a kiss. Your Love Poem Contest winner is filled with forgiveness, Peter, well done. Even without the word 'love' it expresses hopes and dreams sweeter than the worlds finest chocolate could ever imagine. Hats off to you and your pen. |

| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 02/15/07 at 12:40 AM if fate will play it kind for once
is a great line. Wonderful poem, perfectly capturing the fragility and special excitement of such a moment. |
| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 02/15/07 at 08:28 AM My favorite part of this poem is the "o". For me it is the moon, the exclamation, the open mouthed kiss! This is a beautiful touch, this "o". ... all full of possibility. Gives the poem a center and formal mirroring. The lyrical flow and images..beautiful too! |
