You have such a way with words. I love your work. I sit here looking at the picture you painted with your pen and feel acute pain in my heart for a love lost. Love this poem.

I think what you wrote is lovely, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what it means. It says it's a sports poem, so maybe it's about a past victory since forgotten? It seems more like a love poem whose memory is erased by age. An intriguing poem nonetheless. Good luck in the contest.:)

I like the idea of things like memory erased after one gets to a certain age, but I don't think I've reached that age yet. You're two syllables short in the last line Iza, suggestion, "all memory is erased." Well done, good luck, blessings Roy

It is sometimes hard to hold onto our memories as it fades as time goes by and we fail to remember those who have long gone, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Izza,

I like the theme of your three line poetry entry as well as your "glittering"
"shimmering" imagery and assonance and near rhyme.

You have a strong last line and message.

You wrote:

"Tears shimmering down the time"

Suggestion:

Tears shimmering down time's sand/s

Oh well, that's my two cents.

I'm partial to poems about time. Great photo representing the hour glass and roses seen in your first line.

Anna

I can see roses glittering--in a vase or on a bush. But I can't visualize tears "shimmering" down time. In your photo, SAND funnels through an hour glass. Please keep working on the image you are trying to convey. Rod
