I'm glad I looked at this poem. It's firm, and it's strength is within your words of wisdom that in themselves threaten to jump off the paper and grab a hold of you

Excellent portrayal,

This is a wonderful poem and, with its digital image of the rainbow kite, it speaks volumes about societal issues. There is a certain freedom to the poem, releasing hold and letting the kite go. Whenever we release our hold on problems, issues, things that bother us, things that we hide, we do indeed allow ourselves to fly and go. I love the poem. I've no suggestions for improvement. Thanks for sharing. M

So much weight off my shoulders,
when I open my hands, release my hold,
and let my kite
go.

I like the poem. Flow is very smoothly, so much weight
off my shoulders, when I open my hands, release my hold,
The poem expresses the feeling of what said. Excellent for
the good work done.

This delivers a succinct message about "letting go," beyond just the pull of gravity, like destructive emotions, grief, unnecessary responsibilities, etc. The art work is nice and appropriate to the subject. Best wishes, Jeanie Mercer

A cleverly constructed little naani Amanda, it is easier said than done though...letting go, but the rewards are endless. Well done, I enjoyed it.

Your poem is spot on. If you've ever jumped from a plane with only a parachute, it's liberating as I imagine being that kite must be. After you've done that, nothing quite seems so fearful and overwhelming.

I loved this simple verse.

    Thank you Merle, leaving off that kite was exhilarating and overwhelming, sort of I wanted to go up too. Envious!

Excellent!

Brilliant brevity and I love the way you worded it with a coda-like cadence...ending on the single word GO_--an unusual phrasing style for a naani.

Nicely presented and uplifting in theme, well epxressed wiht apt simile.

Best of luck in the contest.

Warmly,
rd

PS Love the title!
