Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Melissa,
Another wonderful poem. You have the perfect picture to go with it, too. The young woman is standing outside on a windy night, clouds circling overhead like Indians rounding a wagon train (brute force). But beyond that is the Milky Way, silent distant sparkles as background for the star performer, The Moon (brushed "with a delicate wing"). The Milky Way and the clouds both move in spirals. The clouds are just more obvious.
Nicely penned for the 20 word poetry contest! Good Luck!
Hugs,
Kimbob

Nice ode to poetry. So true! I like the flow, the rhymes, the imagery and the visual presentation as well. Nice alliteration of B and consonance of S and soft C.
A good entry!
Good luck!

Comment from June Sargent
I love the presentation here of the beauty and power of poetry. The ontrast of a storm with that of a delicate wing is perfect. Perfect artwork. It should do well in the contest.

Interesting description of how poetry comes. It may be with brute force or with a delicate brush. Great contrast, and I think it is true. Ideas come to us in different ways. Beautiful artwork to accompany this. Best of luck in the contest with this thoughtful 2o word offering. judi

So true, Melissa. :) Poetry written can change a life. It can bring tears of joy and happiness or tears of pain and sadness. It can hit you with the truth and make you hide. It can touch your heart in many ways, but the best way is with a tender kiss. :) This is a good offering for the 20 Word Poem contest.
