hi gcjm.
good to see you posting some poetry.
we need it
it's well set out, and reads well. (it flows)
it lacks a definite article for me. it tells instead of shows.
i think frost or some other well known poet said
" if it has the word beauty", (substitute beauty for love trust truth or beautiful)
in it the poem is doomed.
much better to show what the word beauty, love trust truth or beautiful etc mean, than just say beauty.
a nice interpersonal poem, thanks for sharing it.
