Eileen:

Your garden will always have beautiful roses, not weeds. Love needs nurturing at all times.

Wonderful work!

Every seed needs tender loving care, and a lot of loving attention, or those weeds will surely take over.

The theme of this poem is powerfully sad but there is such strength within the words. In succinct tones you have clearly demonstrated strong human characteristics of choice and hope despite pain which all combined makes this excellent Eileen. Love Panda :)

Reading this out loud, It has that staccato sound and feel on the lips... if that makes sense

No format is a challenge to you. In every garden weeds do persist and need cultivation to keep your flowers from being overcome by these tenacious pests. The rhyme and meter exemplifies your skill as a poet.

Splendid job depicting the truth pervailing between two lovers of whom one of them is determined not to give up. Love needs constant weeding and spraying to avoind insects that destroy it. GBQ

Does not the Gardener not know what seed he hath cast
Does not he chose which day to plant & which moon has past
Does not he water each day
Culivate, try as he may
All these things he may very well know
But it's the plant that still has to grow
****(Just my thoughts after a very long day)****

NOt giving up easily is a good thing, however like Kenny Rodgers song goes......know when to fold them.........took me 22 years to figure that out.

this poem embraces many trusims ... yet without weeds life would be just a continous garden of flowers ... i think we need to learn to take the good with the bad, in order to remain balanced ...

This is exceptional in my eye, Eileen, in that it has both a vintage and contemporary ring...simultaneously.

This is sure to resonate with many. A betrayal in love is the worst betrayal...it is the one decision we make ourselves, and when we make a mistake in judgement there, we question everything we do.

Sometimes it isn't worth the trouble to hold it together, nor in the Divine Plan.

Wonderful words of wisdom, Eileen.

A departure in essence for you in this construct! It felt almost as if you had been touched by something unexpected. I agree with Susan, an incredible blending of feelings and colors.

"Stench coming from your falsity" How I relate to this in my own personal life. Nothing seems to last anymore, and too often nothing is as it seems. You are growing in profound ways Eileen. Your Muse must be administering Poetic JuJu.

This was good ... very good!

Your poetry is incredible. You show an ease to writing and by making it all "seem" easy you become the master...you are a special lady!!
I'm proud of you Sis.

By the initial sound of it...you have a tough and laborious task ahead of you..

I would question the authenticity of your partner's sincerity, and your willingness to keep striving against the current...

Powerful and dynamic write

Yep, it tskes hard work and a lot of luck, I'm telling you. I really don't understand how a woman and a man can live in the same house without murdering the other. Well, yes, I suppose I do understand, love conquors these demons . . . Sometimes. Liked the rhythm of this poem and the way you moved it, each verse complimenting the other. THAT'S poetry!
