"I Write in 2019" has me reviewing your item today! I thought I would return the favor since you kindly reviewed "A Birthday Gift..." as your extra review. Until I opened your poem, I forgot that Tinker is Judi. As soon as I saw your name, I expected a good read! I was not disappointed. Title: "Wonder" is the perfect title. The double meaning of the word (the wonder of the universe and the idea of I wonder about this or that) makes it ideal. The Main Course: I love the contrast in the two stanzas reflecting the different aspects of the word wonder. I would like the scene to be a bit more developed in the second stanza—I assume we are looking at the lights on someone's boat. There is one line I don't personally care for. The cool breeze skimming limbs. I like the way the two words sound alike: skim/limb but as I think of the cool air blowing gently over my arms and legs, I find myself wanting different words. Summary: Anyways, apart from those two words, I love your words choices. I find the first stanza mesmerizing and the second somewhat abruptly changing the scene and bringing me back to earth. I really hope you intended to create these two views because I love that you did! My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
