6. Definitely a blissful love poem that anyone would be overjoyed to receive. Makes me think of all the ways we experience love.

7. I read this as if it’s describing a love between people where memory lapse is a problem — dementia, Alzheimer’s. So it’s the deepest kind of love perhaps, because it involves loving even when someone doesn’t seem to recognize you anymore, always waiting for those moments of recognition. It only works, and stays alive, if the love is as needed (for sustenance, for existence) as water and air. Beautiful work. It makes me think of so many of our mothers who seem to be struggling.

8. What a romantic you are, brother. When I try to emulate you. I can’t smooth out my rough edges. My piece is more pragmatic, bordering on existential.

9. Beautiful and romantic, I love ‘warmth of ember an evening in November, I love you with the bliss of rain that follows drought’

11. Beautiful imagery, Bjorn … and thank you for an uplifting theme in this week of such dreadful news of the flood in the southern U.S.

12. Sigh… Love this, Bjorn. I hope you shared it with the person who inspired it. Forget the rubies and diamonds. Give me a poem written just for me, and I’m over the moon.
