This is an adorable form, and your poem is an exquisite example of it. What a warm and inviting word you chose. Interestingly, when I look at your presentation, it almost appears that your art is the steam curling from the cup!

I never saw this form before - I love it. You really do learn something on this site every day. This is a wonderful entry. You've adhered to the rules well and produced wonderful words and a great picture to accompany it. I love your saucer statement. It really does clarify and sum it all up. Good luck in the contest.

Hugs

Morning, Sue
Thank goodness you saved me a trip to the dictionary. Mind you, I forgot the word already ;-)
Love the last line twist from 'Family matters'. - clever.
Looks like an interesting format and sorry I missed it. On the other hand maybe it's a good thing as I'd probably have come up with a naughty word. LOL.
Excellent entry and I wish you the best in contest.
Love, Ray xx

Very, very nice entry for this contest. I couldn't find in the rules where the words had to be related to the dictionary word, but that must be the case, otherwise why call it a 'dictionary word', right? Do you know anything more about the form that what is given in the 'rules' This is a great entry, and your art and colors are fantastic. Love the 'tree' theme, given your them. Good luck.

    Marcia, I'd never heard of this type of poem before. I just 'googled' it to see if there was anything on it. Nothing there. Thanks for commenting on the artwork, as I liked the "family tree" painting. And thanks for your very kind review. Regards, Sue

    I thought about googling, but I think it's newly created, not mainstream at all. Thanks for the reply. Always a pleasure to read your work, Sue. Take care, Marcia

A very well written poem with a unique structure. The smooth flow of words makes for a very easy read. There is good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Thank you very much for the notes, without which I would of still been scratching my head. Once I'd read the notes the penny dropped and the creativity of what I'd just read became obvious. You DAZZLE, take a bow!

Great use of format. Fun. Loved the word you picked...it roles off of the tongue. Clean,simple and straight forward.
"Families Matter" is a great ending.

Sue, you are great at writing poems with rules that dictate what meter, shape or rhyme is required. I am thankful that you always use author notes to explain. I have not been that daring in that I still just write rhyming poems. Great job.
