Your poem is in good syllable count and stanza structure for the Clarity Pyramid - now you just need to center it to make it look like a pyramid :-)
You capture the essence of this destructive emotion well

Hey Brooke, It was centered when I sent it in...I tried to re-do..and it came out that way again. I think it is in my not having the knowledge to know how to fix it. Duh thanks for writing!,

So many people hold grudges for all the wrong reason. It is pointless, never gets us anywhere. Plus, most of teatime the person we are holding a grudge with doesn't even know or care.

I really like this poem. I love the title.

I loved your use of synonyms for the first triplet.

Then using the second triplet to explain the situation is clever and effective.

I'm not sure I get why you placed the last line in quotations, but I like the wording of the last line.

So well done.

Your welcome. Stop on by and give my writing a try. All is welcome to read.

Comment from Jay Squires

Good

I admire your challenge here. The fact that you don't have a word restriction, only a line restriction, I think you could develop the first part more by adding more to "Grudge" "envy" and "jealousy". I'm not a poet, but to me the first three lines are flat for a lack of definition.

Sorry.

Hi there...and thank you for reading this. The rules for this one are interesting and different. The rules are posted, but the first triplet can only be 1,2, and3 syllables.
It was a challenge.Take care.

This is a great poem, is does an excellent job of expressing the speaker's dislike of whoever they have a grudge agains. I hope you do well in the contest!

This piece meets the criteria of the clarity poem as the syllable count is correct. Good alliteration with after/all. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message. Best of luck in the contest.
