This presentation is very good. I enjoyed the words of Maya and your subsequent poem about writing poems. Congratulations on coming first in this contest.

cool. I like that you wrote a poem about writing poetry. It's a fun way to get your point across. And the picture is cleaver as well. Thanks for sharing.

Love Maya. Love her quote.

Love also, the tone and tenor of your stacks.

I've a bad habit of pronouncing poem....pome.

Thus I halted in second line of second stanza...

No! It's me! It's seven syllables for sure!

A worthy entry..on fact I am about to cast my vote for it!

I sincerely hope you win!

The first two stanzas really resonated with me. The words evoke old-world charm and even makes me think that this is what Maya Angelou would have thought. These stanzas are real poetry! I felt like the style and words chosen in the other stanzas didn't flow with the first two stanzas. A little too hip and modern, and a little informal. Still, this is a very good poem that could be a great poem with some re-working.

This is a smooth stacked 5-7-5 poem that flows well. I particularly liked the third stanza with the idea of opening up to a limited readership. Not too scary that.
