It sure has been interesting reading the entries to the prompt.
Thanks for reviewing mine, and for your comments.

Your poem makes excellent use of specific details to send a powerful message about how your growth continues as you hone your skills. Good job on sustaining the kite-flying motif.

Hi! That was a nice poem. Well thought out and clearly written. Good rhythm and rhymes. Creative. Good work. Don't beat yourself up over writing. My advice to you is just let your emotions flow. Good luck in the contest :)

Comment from Debbie Pope
Wow! This is so good. It's heartfelt and perceptive. And I love your analogy to flying a kite. You capture my emotions exactly. I was hesitant to post my first poem, but everyone was so welcoming. Their encouraging words kept me writing. No one had ever read my poetry before. It was a gratifying experience to actually have someone interested in my writings. Your poem shows such craftsmanship. You should be proud, and it could very likely win.
Thank you for sharing and joining us on FanStory.

Comment from Bill Pinder
This is a great expression of your appreciation for fan story, and you did a great job of expressing in a creative way your journey into the process of learning from the other writers to get better at it. I would give you six stars if I had it. I agree with you about the gift of releasing whatever I'm dealing with, And it's great when it encourages someone else.

Comment from robyn corum
Dear Mystery Poet,
I've read a couple entries for this contest so far and I have to tell you, straight up, this one is my favorite so far. *smile* I adore the metaphor of the kite - and the construction of it. I understand the idea of having to go back to the drawing board over and over again to get things just right. But that's the nature of this particular beast we've chosen.
But - if it were easy everyone would be doing it. Right??
This community is special. Glad you're here. Good luck!

Thanks for your terrific review, Robyn!
Comment from pome lover
you sound like a very good example of "try, try again!"
The main point of writing, to me, is the fun of it. The awakening of ideas in your head that you just have to put down on paper (or, in this case, computer.)
Your open mindedness in learning from others is also a admirable.
Good luck with your writing and enjoy!

I agree wholeheartedly with you that writing should be fun. I read a quote someplace a while ago that puts its finger on things: "If something isn't fun, then you aren't doing it right."

there you go! that's the truth.

This meets the contest requirements nicely as you deliver a well penned rhymed epic on the FS experience. You expressed what many aspiring go through here simply and above all with the attitude it takes to grow and improve. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Alex Rosel
This is a detailed, and very personal, poem about your hopes and fears and experiences with FanStory. It meets the remit of the contest {thumb up}.
I particularly like how you've concluded the imagery you use -- the kites and flag fluttering in the wind -- with
Our kite-words find a friend
I'm not sure why, but I find "kite-words" very effective. Perhaps it's because you've "planted" the visuals preparing me for that description? Either way, it's well crafted.
Best of luck with this when the voting booth opens {smiles}.
