Vanessa thank you for sharing your work with us and you are truly talented. Beautiful and heartfelt.

I usually don't like poetry very much though I write some poems for some of my books ;), so I'm not sure whether I could be an expert but your words flow like a mountain stream, one could almost "touch" the love described in your poems... Keep the good work going! LET THE WONDERFUL NOISE OF THE SEA ALWAYS SOUNDS IN YOUR EARS! (a greeting of my water dragons' hunters).

I really enjoyed your lovely poems. You have a wonderful gift and are quite poetically inclined. You weave masterful and eloquent lines with precision and skill. Hats off to you! I could relate so easily to your poems, especially the one about the other woman. I used to be her and wanted to write about the pain of it. I did so, but not as concisely and poignantly as you were able to. Excellent work! I voted for you.

you peeked my interest more about what you write about and i had to take a closer look at your work...very nice. i don't have a favorite book on this site by others but yours is my first. :>

You have a talent for storytelling through poetry and that is no easy task. I enjoyed reading your work. Serena

Fantastic work, Vanessa!

you have a talent with poem stories.

Very pretty poetry.

I was quite impressed on the first read; more so now.
Writing heartfelt poems is hard. Writing heartfelt poems in rhyme is harder.
Writing heartfelt poems in exquisite meter is harder yet.
I see in your book a collection of lovely poems with meter, stanza, rhyme, and no words forced. Even your dedication is moving.
I can only imagine how hard you worked on these. Bravo to you, Vanessa! My vote.

What beautiful poems! The meter and rhyme schemes were superior - so few people know how to do it right. And the imagery in the last one is just lovely, almost musical. You obviously have a genuine talent for poetry, and I wish you great things in your writing endeavors.
