    I read your poem "Remittance." I like that it made me read it three times and to think about what it was saying. The only change is that I would suggest using a white font on the dark gray background. Good writing.

This is an excellent poem for the challenge. I enjoyed reading it. Your presentation is very good, too. You also use descriptive words and colorful imagery that draw in a reader.

Best wishes!

This is an enjoyable poem based on a set of great ideas. However, I would not have used 'surprises' as one of my first words as it is the title of your poem. Also, you have used 'sometimes' as a first word twice and your rhythm is a bit inconsistent varying from nine to twelve beats per line. I would have tried to make that a bit more constant if possible as it makes a poem much more easy to read out loud.
I did enjoy this poem though so good luck in the contest
