The Good-Bye Sky

Holding hands beneath night skies,
we wish upon the moon;
Then whisper soft "good-byes",

I swear I'll be back soon...

    Beautiful...I love the title and the sentiment. Made me breathe a sigh of pleasure.

  • The description of the first three lines so well sets up for the promise that comes in the fourth.. There is something to be missed, longed for, so that the impact of the last line just kind of sneaks up on you. I like that effect.

  • This is nice. Because it is quite short in legnth you are left to contemplate the meaning more and I think its quite beautiful. I'm imagining a coulple saying goodbye to one another for a little while. Very sweet.

  • Love the Title of this one Mat,and the beautiful way your words breath romance into the piece. Excellent...mal

    Oh God, forgive Me for laughing but how many times I have heard a man utter those very words and then be never sighted again except for an ass as it leaves town in a hurry...sorry it was probably intended to be heartfelt, but damn if you were a woman like I am, you'd see a different perspective.

    Sweet write. I think it begs for more personally. I like the last part about being back soon, it leaves the peice open, with the reader thinking about the future rather than the now, great write. Good luck in the contest.

    So bittersweet and romantic. I feel that you can never know true love unless your heart has been broken, even just a little bit. I love the sense of longing. Reminds me a bit of Madame Butterfly. Love it.

    This piece just blew right through my curtains and into my mind.....a softness to it...spoken faintly..
    perhaps amongst the rustling of blowing leaves ...under a beautiful sky...with stead fast determination for happiness.
    Fine indeed.

    I enjoyed this and plan to read more.

    Peace my brother,
    LOWELL POE.

    Beautiful & Dreamy

    Love it! Love the lyrical feel, too.

    So romantic and heartfelt... Once again you've perfectly captured a scene that touches one's emotions from the very first word. You pulled me in and made me feel...

    And believe.

    An awesome write, my poet friend. Bravo!

    As ever, your rhyme is smooth, natural, lyrical. Whilst compact your poem has impact, good usage of poetic device and a moment crystalized. Bravo.

    It's amazing how much can be said in 20 words!!
    This is softly done... shows the sadness of a goodbye, even if you know you will be returning.

    Very lovely!!
