Beautiful Imayo poem, Jessica. Thank you for participating in the Japanese poetry club event. Great entry with a good connection between lines and an imayo poem form. Beautiful presentation.

Good job,

Gypsy

I am not familiar with IMAYO poetry formats. I will be sure to look that up. However, with that being said I really enjoyed your poem. Very few words but the message is clear. Well done. Thank you for sharing. Cherish

Jess, This is fabulous poetry. Yours looks better than the online examples. Perfectly split at 7/5 syllables per line. I like the pause it creates. I must try this!

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the poetry challenge.

This is a gorgeous poem and a gorgeous entry. I love the presentation pictures and colors even the font you chose I quite enjoy as well.
I quite enjoy your word choices as well quite delightful.
I see no issues with your poem grammatically speaking nor do I see any issues. Aesthetically is it quite pleasing to the eye. I find no errors and I find this to be a wonderful submission to the contest and I wish you best of luck. Thanks and have a great day

When I see your name in my PM box, I smile because I know I am going to get to read a good poem. I was not disappointed with this club entry. I am NOT a poet and I'm sure this will mess up the syllable count, but I read this line as: "welcomed by stone steps" (welcomed by steps of stone) Like I said it probably messes up everything.

    Barbara, first of all thank you for the compliment, it made my day! And second of all- are you sure you're not a poet? I was stuck on that one line for quite a while, and I absolutely love the sound of "steps of stone". Honestly, it's those little details that make such a difference, I find... Yes, you are correct about the syllable count (has to be 5) but I genuinely love your suggestion and think it's worth working in... What do you think of...
    "Met by steps of stone"
    Or
    "Steps of stone welcome"

    I really like both of them, but I think I like the first one a little more.

Well, this is really cool I like the imagery and how your memories feel uneasy and the picture and color of the background works well good luck in your future. Hope all is well. Have a good day!!

A very interesting poem. I can picture the house rather well, thanks to the first three lines and the last line makes me wonder what happened within to leave the memories shattered.
