The poem was off to a great start! Is it finished?? The end of the poem was a nice ending but I feel there should be more in between. I'm a garden person myself, and you made the garden imagery seem like a nice place to go... I was left with two ideas....was she a fairy that existed in the garden or a image made by the many shadows in the garden...its all so magical! I hope you can write more into this work, I would like to read more... keep writing and I will keep checking!!

 Great start to a fantastic poem, Lady Dragonwyck. To my opinion, it is like something that resembles the creativity of fairy tale masters. Interesting: I felt as if that I was in the poem's colorful details. It reminds me of the book The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. The poem is like a great start of a great novel. You really have taken the time to craft the spectacular poem into something from a William Shakespeare like setting, 1880s it seems like.

P.S. Don't stop your great abilities for writing. Even if someone tells you todo it again, I would always be there to help you. You have a great ability that you are tooled with. It may seem flattering but is really true! Take cure and keep it up!

I think that this is beautifully written! I don't even think I can come up with a favorite line because they are all wonderful and blend seamlessly to create a fantastically written poem! I'm a big fan of imagery and this piece creates fantasy like dreams in my head! Definitely cannot wait to read more of your stuff.

 I wanted more! I could envision each stanza in my mind and I was really enjoying it until the ending! Is there more? I love your word usage and how you play with your vocabulary. I also appreciate the soft tone of the poem, it reminds me of a slow melodic songs called "The summer knows". Im listening to it right now and it totally works with your poem.  I enjoyed it, but the ending threw me for a loop and I wasn't ready for it to end!
