    Poem Commentary

    The last one named SHE, I discovered had errors. I will erase the other.

    TO THE LONELY

     She encircled me within her arms
    And on mine her lips she pressed
    But never did I know her heart
    And silently I wept

    Then one dawn I met someone
    Who loved me to loves depth
    But never did I know her lips
    And silenly I wept

    this is honestly a great collaboration of words. to me, the best poems are short and powerful, and you captured that criteria very well. Outstanding poem

    This is long enough as far as I am concerned. I like it and it is worded so well.

    I repeat you are so receptive/perceptive.-)

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
