Jessica,

Congrats on your first place win in the Free Verse Poem contest. You've penned a masterful poem about the wonder and majesty of a waterfall. Your words alone give life to the imagery imagined between the words as they comprehensively describe the mystery behind the fall.

You are one of my favorite writers/poets and reviewers here on Fanstory. Your posts are always captivating and full of intrigue. This is one of your bests deserving of nothing less than 10 stars.

All the best,

Eugene

    Eugene, trying to find the right words to convey the depth of my gratitude for your compassionate words is an impossible task. I was tied up and off the site for a few days, and upon returning, reading your words of encouragement has truly lifted my spirits. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Had I not read your flash story, I never would have even seen your poem. And although I read little poetry, and even less free verse, I'm glad to have read this one. Congrats on your win! Thanks for sharing.

Your poem reads and looks like a waterfall! Even the stanzas have this separation to them like moving water. It is beautiful. I have never been one to marvel at waterfalls and I don't know why, but your words on paper (screen?) describe the exact experience I wish I could see and feel when looking at them. Perhaps next time I will!

Love the poem. It really is beautiful watching water falls. The little drops unafraid and unaffected by the rough road it travel on, teaches to surrender.

Good luck.

Waterfalls are one of my favorite things. I could watch them all day long. Your poem presents them with emotions flowing down onto the rocks where a rainbow shows in the mist. That is very creative and poetically lovely.
