    Love does heal...at least temporarily. I think I could write a treatise on what love does and doesn't do, I've become an expert through my failures, lol

    This had a connecting to Del...this place can be creepy sometimes...most times.

    Another form which I think you will do well, I have been reading your free verses and find it equally wonderful especially with your brilliance.
    Words flow gracefully when it comes from the heart.

    I very much liked the progression in this piece. Maybe just needed one more verse to tie 'zeal' back to the 'heart. Very well done my friend.

    I knew Del only for a few months before he left us, but what a marvelous poet he was. His work will live in our hearts forever.

    I find it so fitting that you chose hearts for your lanturnes. All are lovely, and all are very worthy. Best of luck in the contest. Hugs, Patricia

    ''Del Warren Livingston was a good friend and a wonderful poet. Thank you for entering your poem in this contest that is in his honor. I know you have read many of his poems. Unfortunatly, most of his poetry is no longer on this site, and that is so sad.

    I liked your lanturns, especially the first one. Something about heart pulses....that struck me.

    Thanks Mariza!
