Hi Gabriella! I am popping in with a review as a thank you for being a member of "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" ! Yay. I found one of your poetry folders and was drawn to this one as you mentioned Thomas Hardy as an inspiration. Intriguing.
I can see why this has a lovely ribbon as it was delightful to read aloud and easy to enter into the vision. The title has a pleasing flow and evokes a wistful quality that fits the essence of the poem. Good choice.
The poem is well balanced in verses with consistent rhyme scheme and pleasing flow though I notice the syllables of each line are not even. The only lines that stuck out a bit were lines 1-2 in the last verse. The first one seemed short and abrupt compared to the lines in the other verses and the second one was long. The word "impossibly" was awkward and I was trying to find another suitable descriptive one here. Overall, it is just a minor glitch. It still flows quite well and does not detract from meaning and emotional essence.
Your effective use of consonance, assonance and alliterative techniques added a wonderful soundscape. eg w, s. I liked the double ss words all together in verse one. The imagery was vivid and I could imagine the meeting and sense the mood at never meeting again. The personification of nature as missing the lovers is moving and well accomplished. I like the idea of all as oneness in vibration that occurred to me.
The voice is clear and the tenses well done. You really created a strong atmosphere with your words.
Thanks for sharing your gift. I really had fun entering the dream.
Keep on shining! Write on!
