I'm reading and thinking to myself, she's writing about Dan Vasc again, isn't she? He does seem one who paints "dark-edged hearts" and is chimeric and his singing is powerful! Best wishes in the contest!

    No, it's not DV this time.
    I love the guy and his music, but he has zero empathy.
    The guy I'm talking about has ADHD and talk openly about his mental heath, which I find refreshing.
    Thanks for reading.x

Daydreaming is not a bad thing, but so many times we tend to get caught up in the maybes and what-ifs, while missing out on the opportunities of what could truly be real. Afraid to take a chance. Unwilling to put ourselves out there. Holding back, as time marches beyond our grasps. :-) Thanks for sharing.

This is very strong and emotional and well written. It grab my attention and held it from start to finish. The graphic fits nicely here as well. This is a solid piece of work. Good luck going forward.

Sometimes dreams become reality.

It sounds like your narrator has come across a kindred spirit who understands and comforts her. The "nectar on my lips" but unattainable except in dreams. For now.

Nicely penned, Maria. Are you on break from school now? Good to see you around again.

    I'm on sick leave, Pam. Too much stress. I've always loved my job, but the local government is making it really difficult for us.
    At the moment there are demonstrations going on and quite a few teachers are on sick leave like me.
    Thanks for your lovely review. xxx

Gosh, I wish I had a six for this one. It's fabulous! Sometimes dreams are so real as you have written here. A fine entry for the contest, my friend.

Advice from one who knows. Write the poem and create it line-by-line with spaces as you go. If you write the entire poem in a clump and then sub-divide it, you'll end up with this look. I know, I've tried it both ways. I hope this helps you in the future.

Sending you my best today as always and my very best wishes for the contest.
