I seem to be missing so many contests these days, they're coming so fast I can't keep up. A stellar win for you in this form. Love the eroding and chosen art. Sending you my best today as always and best congratulations!

Hi Sally. I liked the challenge of writing a 1-6-1 and it is a bit difficult to have the ending rhyme, but a fun mental exercise. Thank you.

Who knew such few words could provoke such thought...and action?!
I also love how each line rhymes! What a well-crafted masterpiece! I'd love to see this on a bookmark or hanging in a children's classroom at school. Thank you so much for sharing!

A very true piece of advice! That is, write now; of course you will continue to write. I try to be organised and keep a notebook with me; now I just have to remember that it is there. Good luck in the contest, Julie L

A very nice poem for the 1/6/1 poetry contest. You fit volumes in these 3 lines.

Love the message.

Your poem had this upbeat flair to it and I found it energizing.

Great artistic presentation too. Good luck in the contest.

For writers, this should be a screen saver or a poster they have on their wall as a reminder to simply keep going with the process. Too many times we allow our misgivings to get in the way of writing.
