I love how your poetry always draws me in and makes me feel as though it is me thinking, writing, saying, doing.... In the end it makes me contemplate what I would do in that exact situation. I also love the way you make the emotions in your poetry come alive, so that the reader can feel the same emotions...

Dawn - excellent poem about the choices we make or don't make out of fear. Like the sense of melancholy reflection at the end:

Every so often, you

Invade my thoughts �

Forcing me to wonder

How different our lives

Might have been if I had.

Enjoyed it. - David

This is so touching that I feel myself in tears. I hear the echoes of pain running deep in a loving heart that feared to venture a Touch that might have changed its life forever. Thanks dear Dawn

Love the graphic that perfectly compliments this sad but all too real piece that we can all relate to. We all make choices in our life that we sometimes live to regret or at least always (as suggested here) wonder about. Good job.

I just love that photo, and have stolen it for my own dubious purposes. Your lines recall yesterdays in sweet loving phrases, and we can relate in one way or the other, of course. Yes, it was yesterday, but today and tomorrow, we still wonder how it could have been if... if... if? - Bill

Once again you combine nostalgia with the uniqueness and flow of words which is all your own to give is a sentimental "what if" scenario . . . Well done . . . But of course it is . . .
