No surprise

So lucky are we, that you share your gift.

Thanks, Reader. Your support is awesome. This was my first attempt at this form, and I truly enjoyed it. So glad you liked it, and I appreciate the review... cheers... Gary...

Wow, goose-bump moments with the final couplet, that's for sure…

It's very powerful, Gary. You've captured the undercurrent of the movie's love scene very well, which I believe is that almost too precious desire to believe in a future when the madness of the Holocaust is over. Love that. It's beautifully captured and delivered here, imo.

Thank you for taking the poetry prompt challenge, and as you are very accomplished at song lyrics, I hope you keep the Ghazal in mind when you write your next one.

Thanks, AC. The scene really inspired me. It has been so long since I first saw it. There was a poignancy to it that I wanted to attempt to capture, even if the hope meant death.I actually added another couplet because my brain is swimming with images and thoughts. Thanks for the encouraging review... cheers... Gary...

Wow! Just wow! You capture my thoughts to this heartfelt scene so precisely. And you make it look effortless, which I know it isn't. That lightness of the wording combined with the subject matter just floors me.

Now I'm even more triggered to do this. I don't think I'll be able to top this, but I want to give it a try. It's so beautiful.

Thanks, Puppilull! You just made my day. That scene, which I hadn't seen in years was very inspiring... tragic and beautiful. Effortless? No, but I had no trouble with knowing what I wanted to say. Your kind words make me feel I achieved it. Much thanks, and cheers... Gary...

That was an incredibly moving description of a very moving scene. I am beyond words.

Thanks, Lit! I believe this my first attempt at writing about something totally from the outside looking in. It might have opened a door for me. Saying you are beyond words is saying a lot. Thanks for your wonderful support, and the awesome review, my friend... cheers... Gary...

Your poem could easily replace the spoken words of the scene. Your text is full of images that appeal very much to me and capture the essence of the scene. Read aloud it flows impeccable. I hope to see many more of your poems of this high quality.

Thank you so much, J.HunterDunn. That scene inspired me greatly. I loved yours as well. This one was about hope in a bleak place. The only power they had was within. Thanks for the very kind words. I think poetry has become a part of me now... such a great way to express ourselves... I appreciate the review... cheers... Gary...

Wow, Gary. That was incredibly affecting. Your words capture the very essence of what was unsaid in that scene... Loved it.
