You have certainly followed the rules of this brand new form
Your words are all a good fit to the dictionary word
Compared to most of your poems, this does nothing for me

    In these contests, I do love to stretch my ability to hone down to the minimum use of words. Has always helped me get better in writing. And I enjoy the exercise to see the outcome. Thanks for your very honest review, Sue

Interesting style to work with. I like how it follows certain rules and also makes a distinctive shape. I think you picked the perfect subject for this style. Tea can represent the close bonds shared by those that participate in "tea time" with friends and family. :) Great style and form. Thanks for sharing!

Well done again Sue. Must admit I had to look up consanguinity in the dictionary first! :)

A great choice of words for this poem. I can see how the words form a tree as they link together from one line to the next.

The choice of art is also very apparent with your family tree link.

Im a big family guy, so the closing line is very close to my heart.

Good luck in the competition Sue. Hopefully I can give you a run for your money in this one. :)

This is an interesting format. I am stuck I think with rhyming couplets. I seem to think in them. Well we all have our burdens. You must have a wonderful relationship with your family to inspire this one. joan marie

Great word! It was new to me, so this was a double treat. Your poem worked beautifully, and you described it so well. Good luck in the contest! Rose.

wow, what a writing. 'Teacup Dictionary?' I think you did a very good job with this, Sue. It has to be in the shape of a 'teacup?' I'm lost there because I have no idea what a teacup looks like. Is it like a coffeecup? I've come to the conclusion that most of this stuff is the result of somebody with too much time on their hands. lol

Good luck in the contest, my dear friend.
