Comment from Alchera
A well written 20 word poem contest entry within its seven line rhymed structure and its cascading dreamy narration story lined content. The enclosed picture is really efficiently to the thematic subject described. One suggestion for the last two lines : blood pulse/ I wake from my dream(s). A good work.

This is a solace. It is a dream for you but for me a reality.
Many months I lived on an anchorage and we would beach on sandbanks for cleaning. After a visit to the local cafe bar we would wander back flushed, bearing our feet to the water and moonbeams as we walked and then climbed aboard. It's a lovely worded calming poem. Well done.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is a really lovely, vividly descriptive poem, an appealing blend
of dreaming, nature, romance, and waking. You have made good use of all
of your words.

Comment from Susan Larson
I love all the references to water and motion: rushing, gushing, flushing, all good descriptions of your experience in your dream. Very well expressed in only twenty words. Good luck in the contest.

Susan, dreams are an amazing tapestry from which we can find answers and experience personal growth when we take the time or make the effort to sit with the content of the evening picture shows.
Comment from MissMerri
I think this is an outstanding entry in the 20-word poem contest. It is also beautifully presented, which I love and always notice. It seems like a very believable account of a dream, and that you managed to do it in rhyme is pretty impressive. I enjoyed reading it, and hope it will do well in the contest. Best wishes. MM

Comment from Bicpen
... it opens with a distinction and gravity pursuing the imagery but unfortunately the word choice is flawed in the middle giving a unfurnished and unhallowed over use of rhyme which discovers a child like mentality of word choice when a more considerate use of words would make the piece stronger in its imagery and provoke a more endearing presence of its voice.

"Wading in thought" - great title for t his poem! I like your water metaphors. You're hard at work and it's taking its toll on your body. Good thing you woke up! Did you write the poem right away?

The picture of the moon is extraordinary and reminds of movies I have seen. As for the poem it was good but didn't compare

For me, the subject has inspired this writer for thirty-seven years. There is always something new and fresh to uncover under every moon phase.
