Wow, Brenda! Just beautiful! And pristine, just like the lake you're describing! The word radiant!! I haven't seen or heard that word in awhile, it's so perfect! Another succinct gem written by you! Maddy

I love these little poems. Succinct, pithy, and stuff. I like it, of course. My brain is just tired. I just wrote "The Elevator" for a contest. It is suitably snarky. I cracked myself up with this one. Send me good wishes please for my move on the 20th. I will be going to Houston to get my stuff out of storage for 25+ years of memories. Half will be donated, You can't put a 3 bedroom house in a one bedroom apartment. It will be tough, but then it will be over. I can finish nesting and get on building my new life. I will be happy here. My sister's seem to adore me. What good taste they have! :-) Karen

    Hi Karen. Thank you for the review. Good luck with moving. I moved about a year ago. So much work. I'll be moving to New York within the next 6 months. I wish you the best in your new place. Love, Brenda

    We are selling our house. We have land in new york. We want a smaller place. Our house has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is getting too much for us. Addison, New York

    Do you have family there.? Take my advice, ddon't live in the house as it is being built. Rent or buy a trailer you can resell while your house goes up. That way you can be somewhere clean and tidy where everything works.

    Thank you for your great review. I'm glad you liked it. No one voted for it in the contest. Sometimes, I can't figure out their choices.
reply by Wendy G on 10-Jul-2024
    I too am frequently amazed at what places and what is not placed. Sometimes people vote for what is "different" or funny or original, in preference to what is beautiful.
    I have almost given up on contests. One spends a lo to ente and promote, and then if places are tied, one might get back only a couple of dollars in prize money. One just has to write to please oneself in the end and be satisfied just with knowing you have created a beautiful piece.

    Thank you for your advice. I think I'm going to stop entering contests for a while too. I'm just going to do the best I can.

This 3-5-3, Beauty of a Sunrise, has the proper formatting and provides the words which lead to the image of the horizon exploding with light from the new day's sun. Nice.

This short little poem is very descriptive. Your choice of words expanded my thought train exponentially. Good job. Good luck with the contest. I hope you have a blessed day

    Thank you for your review. I was thinking maybe I should have changed the words. Oh well, too late now.

I like the contrast between the radiant poppies and the calmness of the lake even though they both receive the same radiant beams from the sun. You have done a good job in your 3-5-3 poem. Best for the contest.

I keep counting "radiant" as three syllables, but I guess it's two. I liked your poem for the "nature 3-5-3" contest. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Your haiku captures a moment beautifully. The imagery is so impressive. I could see the sun's radiant beams and the still lake. You share the beauty of this so well. Well done!

I get very beautiful imagery from this piece. I wish it could be expanded upon but I understand the confines of the rules of the contest. Thank you for sharing and best of luck.
