Comment from Daylily
I enjoyed reading your colorful descriptive rhyming poem. It reminds me that a person can also be considered a work of art.
Ut ohhh...I am suddenly wondering, if I went and looked at the mirror right now, what would I be expressing? Well, for sure as an eighty year old, I probably have no need to worry about advertising something too quirky and over the top.
But on second thought....

Hi Melissa, I can so identify with what you're saying in your notes. Like you, I joined by accident in December 2014. I'd never written before and certainly not in English. And like you I was hooked. I loved your poem. Ulla xcx

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Having fun with words and rhymes is great and the meaning of this poem suggests this was you at one time. Am I correct? Either way, this works well and I love the font style you used which suggests that you wrote it in a long-hand style instead of printing it. Fun and frivolous. Thanks for the laughs and good times.

Wowie Zowie! Are you some kind of seriously quick study or WHAT!!! You're so masterful in such a short time, I had no idea the level of "newbie" you were!! The teacher in me says, "It's not just talent and hard work; you have a bona fide GIFT, Sweet Melissa!!"
I'm so glad I got to read this today!

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
I love all the color references... nice word imagery. It reminds me of a comic book called, Delirium. I like the presentation too.
Well done

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Melissa,
This is a good poem to got with the photo. The words give a strong image of what she looked like and the fashions of the time.
You're son was very intuitive and inventive in this gift if he never saw you write. Maybe he thought it was another way for you to read more.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Enjoy the upcoming week.

Hi QC... yes, I used the same pic, but did tweak the poem a tiny bit, so it could be entered again. That poem was written before I knew there was such a thing as writing in meter, or standard line lengths, or that syllables matter :). LOL. I do love writing poetry and wish I had more time to devote to it :). Thank you.

Comment from BethShelby
This is is a cute and very colorful pome Melissa. It rhymes well and filled with humor. I guess for the artist color is what it is all about. I majored in art in college but I never felt the need to make my body my art piece. Still I do like bright colors more that drab.

Hello Beth. Thanks so much. It seems that the artsy students of today crave self expression in their appearance as well as with their art mediums. It's fun to watch.

Thank you Lisa. I am so glad you liked it and could relate the the art reference. Artists seem to be able to right good poetry too. I know Beth, Dolly and now yourself have told me you also create art. I'm so jealous of you all ;). Thanks again.

Oh, how wonderful that would be, Lisa. I don't have the first clue how to begin, but I would follow your lead!!
