This is a very well presented and written Tetractys Contest. Art is always a a mystery and a phenomenos and hyour choice of words is very good.

Oh, these short ones are tough because the editor expects more than the actual piece! This is very cleverly done and absolutely true. well done Sue. How are you today?

In a few words you created a work of art by
choosing a picture that helps define the type of poem.
I hope I explained how I felt about your poem.

You did a very good job.

Amen, sister. Art is so subjective! I sometimes read the stuff that gets published and wonder what the hell?! Then I submit a piece I think is fabulous and an editor things, WTF? Ha! Guess we have to all be true to our own art, do what speaks to US, and know that somewhere, someone else will be moved and if even only one other is, then I say it's worth while. :)

Very clever use of the art form. The message is absolutely true, too. There seems to be as many poetic forms as there are poems. You do a tremendous job with your alloted number of words. Best wishes. Ray.

Boy is that ever especially true with "modern" art. LOL This a well-written, thought provocative poem. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece with us. Cheers!

Excellent piece of piece of poetry. I liked the message and think it's very profound in its delivery. I have noticed no room for improvement.

Sue - this is a really good tectractys. Perfect form and better than that, a really thought provoking message - I like it!! So many of these syllable things end up just being something to say that fits the syllables - but this is quite profound! Brooke

    Brooke, I like these syllable-count thingies to LEARN that each word must count! Great exercises, they are. So glad you liked this. Saying it is "profound" is the biggest compliment I can even think of. Thanks so much for your awesome review! Sue :-))

I love this! The concept is wonderful and the words you have chosen really make sense. The fact that the syllables work the way that they do is amazing to me! How long did you work on this?

    Ikatka, so glad you really enjoyed this! I do love a tetractys now and then. Love being highly selective with word choices. I just thought of the word "art" and it took about 10 minutes for the first 4 lines, but after I saw those lines, the last line just flew out. It made so much sense! HA! I was thrilled. Thanks so much for your great review and comments. Sue
