This 3-5-3, Air Tension, has the proper formatting and enters the poetic challenge with either a reverence to the thickness of the tension metaphorically, or a resolution born of stress.

Hi there,

I like this piece. It's pretty clever and works on a couple of different levels. This is nice work for such a short piece.

All syllables present and correct too.

Best of luck to you

Thus seems to be about a coming storm that can be averted by magic

In any event the abrupt last line effectively "cuts" the almost sing song effect of the preceding end rhymes.

Striking work (sic)

Good luck in the contest

Blessings, Julia

Very clever. I like the approach; a play on words. You have also rhymed. The final line is the winner though. I wonder how well it will do against some of the other more 'generic' entries.

    Thanks for your review, Mark. Glad you liked that last line because I wasn't sure about it. I hate it when you know what you want to say but not sure how to express it.

An excellent entry for the 3-5-3 'Air' poem writing prompt. As a former Floridian I know exactly what it means to cut the air with a knife! It makes me uncomfortable just sitting here remembering it. Nice poem using only 11 syllables. Good luck.
