Hello Yvette. I have come to dislike 5-7-5 poetry. My unsophisticated nature and lack of intellectual depth probably leads me there. Now that I'm finished, I like this one. It flows from the postulate in the first sentence to an action in the second sentence in the summary in the third. It's not just words. Z

A serious LOL here, Z -- I really have no idea what you really look like, but after some back and forths and such, I have this image and that image with that statement REALLY tickled me!! ;) :) More than anything, I think it's because I agree with you on a number of levels....so many of these come out either choppy or vague or just weird as the authors try to put their thought out there in 17 syllables (or less!) and most of the time the readers just don't get it (and there's definitely no 'rhythm' to find since it's done practically before it starts!!)! ;) :) Thanx for that much needed smile after a long day of classes! And, yeah, thanx for the review and I'm glad this one at least passed muster with the Z-man! ;) :) Take care! ;) Yvette

Hey Yvette. In 1983 a drunk in the bar at the Oklahoma City Airport asked me if I was Columbo. Since I was 6'3" and about 240, I knew he had been drinking. In my younger days people said I looked like Elliott Gould . It was probably the black wavy hair. I never saw it. You are one of the people that understands the way I write. I understand what I'm good at and I stick with that. It is "my voice." That's ballads (8686), free verse and limericks. My short stories are fables with a moral. You're one of the ones I follow here.

Soooo.... a taller, better-looking Peter Faulk without so much squinty eyes and Elliot Gould's mischievous grin and DEFINITELY NOT married to Barbara Streisand.... I'll go with that for now!! ;) ;) LOL!
And I'm honored that you follow this nutty fantasy-leaning blonde... and I do consider myself in good company, Z, so thanx for that! ;) You keep writing your 'voice' and I'll keep reading it, sir -- take care! ;) Yvette

My wife gave me a tee shirt that says., "I laugh at my own jokes." So did Red Skelton.

from the title it sings in truth when we begin writing sometimes we just keep adding from a poem to a story your words can grow in size very neatly put

So glad you enjoyed this one, sir -- the 'shorties' are always a bit of a challenge, but somehow the muse usually comes through! ;) :) Thanx for the review -- much appreciated! ;) :) Yvette
Comment from zanya
Line two makes for a very compelling sentiment in this three line poem - nice touch of alliteration -has a hint of HAIKU here in line three - and such a good pic

Comment from Susan Larson
Your poem goes to show that no matter how fortunate, happy, sad or tragic a situation is, a writer can always get a story out of it, or in your case, a poem. ...as it sings songs to the poet's pen! What a wonderfully picturesque image!

Comment from poetwatch
There was a time when it was hard to write a line. I did not dream, Yvette. Then a light showed me the way and I dreamed. I'm here to stay... until my final dream. My thoughts will flow upon a river's stream and people will fill their cups and live, for they will dream.
See what your poem did to me? :) ;)

Comment from Bill Pinder
Thanks for sharing this excellent poem that conveys a great message in just a few words. That is very true that even shattered dreams can be dealt with creatively through the pen.

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is an unusual verse in that it points out the negative also has a positive possibility. I see 's' alliteration in 'sing' and 'songs.' There is 'p' alliteration in 'poet's' and 'pen." I like the color coordination going on. Not sure what to improve on. Thanks for posting.

This is a wonderful entry in the three-line poem contest, Yvette. The message is great; love the line "sing songs to the poet's pen". The artwork is perfect and contributes to a pleasing balanced effect. xoxo Janet

Comment from Mark D. R.
Yvette,
Your post is a very fine combo of verse and artwork. Like your selected colors.
Alliteration abounds in middle line.
Terrific phrasing/imagery for: shattered dreams and fractured refrains.
Good luck in the voting.
