Melissa: What a cute story married to mirrored picture & interestingly told.
Internal and end rhymes: art/start/heart; yellow/mellow/fellow...

Separate end rhymes; nails/emails; threads/reds deal/surreal; sack/black.

The title, picture and poetics makes this a joyous read. Thanks for sharing
this earlier work. teafor2

It's so beautifully written. It's light and full of internal rhyming that I really like. You have improved a greatly since 2017 but you showed promise in your very fifth poem. I didn't start writing poetry until July, 2020. Fanstory definitely has turned me into a poet.

Well done.

I love this poem and the flow and rhyming are perfect! I read your notes below the poem and noticed that you found a part of yourself that you never knew existed. This is also me! I decided to find myself a hobby and have suddenly become obsessed with writing poetrty! My first poem took months to write and now I write several in a week.

I have missed your comments and reviews, and thought you had taken ill until I see you placed again with another submission, but that shouldn't be news to anyone reading other's works.
I think the people that dress like this are odd, but only because I'm from a different generation that wore leather jackets and oil ducktails and pompadours, or Neru jackets and shaggy hair.

How fun! And I wonder if you created a new form as you wrote this "first" poem! I like how in the second and third stanzas, lines one and three have internal rhymes.
I had to smile at that picture because in my high school, the cheer leaders all had eye makeup like that!

This form is very well written about the little girl in your picture. I enjoyed it very much and I wish you the very best in all of your writing. I am glad you found story because of of three months Tips subscription from your son. I have enjoyed your work through the years. Patricia .

This poem, The Art Student, presented with three AABB-rhymed quatrains, creates the character and sends her off to see her likely duplicate boyfriend.

I absolutely love all the references to colors. This girl is a rainbow in and of herself (and what a breath of fresh air from the black of goth). Nice flowing lines and overall lovely poem!
Thanks for sharing! Julie
