You will find short pieces are harder to review because the "editor" requires longer reviews than the actual piece!
This is very nice Sue. It's stark and hopeful. excellent

Sixteezkid,
I like the expression and power you have put into these 21 syllables. Strong imagery in 'The feeling's mutual'. Good luck in the contest.

Funny...after I wrote this piece, it took just a second to get that title. I looked at these words which are relevant to me right now and I said to the canvas, "the feelings mutual". Ha!! So glad you enjoyed! With regards, Sue
Comment from Christina Steiner
Four lines and a title. It tells the story of a moment. It reflects the mood I have sometimes when the words elude me. The last line is especially good because of the double meaning for sound Maybe it could be plural geniouses or a genius.

Christina, I am SO appreciative of this "exceptional" review! Am so glad you liked this work!!
I hear what you are saying about the plural or "a genius", but the double-entendre of "stroke of genius" is almost the essence of the work. BUT, I most certainly welcome any and ALL comments and suggestions. God only knows it has helped me grow so much here.
Again, I am very honored you felt this piece deserved this esteemed review.
Warmest regards, Sue
Comment from Minglement
Ah, a lovely entry for the contest. Loved the theme and the implied parallels to other elements of life. Great illustration and the poem itself has a nice rythm. Good luck.

Comment from luna
I like this. That's how I've been feeling about my writing lately, like the paper is just waiting there for me to write something on it. You expressed my feelings well.
Thank you.
Yours,
Luna *smile*

Luna, don't we all love to know we are "not alone" -ha! It can be tough. I have not painted for a couple of weeks now and am, quiet literally, looking at a blank canvas. Maybe getting this out will help me (hopefully!!!). Your words will flow across that blank sheet very soon! with regards, Sue

rmdelta, thanks so much now for your "vote of confidence" in my work!!! I just had to enter this contest, as the challenge to learn this "new-to-me" genre was to irresistible. Makes one work very hard. Your review is most appreciated! With regards, Sue

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
This is a good piece of
freeverse, cleverly thoughtout,
and albeit short, the words speak
volumes.
Good luck with the contest,
Margaret.

Margaret, thank you for your very kind review and specific comments. And for your well-wishing for the contest. There is a lot of good work in that one! Glad I signed up for it, as it taught me this new genre. Trying to develop a "no fear" attitude!! Ha!! With regards, Sue
Comment from Winslow
Dear 16,
Ya, I guess even a blank canvass can dream. Excellent poem, it makes me think of a baby waiting to be taught by his parents. If only all parents were geniuses.
Warm regards,
Winslow
