Comment from Poetic Friend
Sometimes a poem written in a few minutes makes great poetry. The emotions are usually raw and emotive as your well-written poem. Because of the great flow and exceptional poetic technicalities, it is hard to believe that 15 minutes produced such a poem. You are a true poet! Good luck in the contest.

Thank you so much.
Comment from Bill Pinder
I like this poem with the message of taking the time to express genuine love with a handwritten note, which is so rare anymore. Excellent idea about slowing down to connect with someone with the details of daily life that make a relationship more valuable. Bill

Comment from Mary Hollingsworth
Your words of instructions are very nifty and on point to follow for the stress that the world is undergoing at this time. The artwork is just so bright, colorful and energetic. The 2 two makes a great combination of mental rejuvination

Comment from Melodie Michelle
This reads like prose not free verse poetry! It is good as prose and clearly you are talented!
The words all run together because there are no line breaks (no stanzas or paragraphs). It makes it very difficult to follow and read.
I appreciate and thank you for sharing this piece;-)
May God bless you;-)

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. I agree with your criticisms.
The problem was time. Fifteen minutes is barely time enough to get ideas down, never mind considering line length and stanzas. But those are the rules, and I wanted to see what I do with the challenge. Thanks again for your thoughts.

I understand!

LOL!! Don't you know that Bill Gates knows better than you what you should capitalize...? :) :) :) A great offering for the contest ... guess this contest would also be a challenge for me timewise since I have trouble deciphering my own handwriting sometimes when I go to type it in... lol! ;)
Handwritten letters are almost like a treasure these days, aren't they? :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;)
