Hi Amada,

I practice yoga myself and found this poem was an excellent written expression of what yoga does for me. your descriptions are lovely and wrapped up in very nicely formed verses. I thought this was an interesting use of the word list for the competition.

Good luck in the contest.
Jules

I like what you have created with the
required words. There is a peacefulness
that comes when reading
your poetic descriptions of the pose.
Nicely done.

The rhythms you crafted mimic the yoga experience; I found myself in the moment and breathing in synch with your experience. How relaxing - thank you.

Some parts of this seem just a tad bit choppy but aside from that, this is an overall well written poem. You have done well threading the nine words together.

Smooth and easy. This poem was gentle and zen-like in its delivery. I could almost feel the stretches. lol I thought you did a good job with expressing your inner emotions of it. Thank you for sharing.
