Just like my short stories. No padding, no fluffing them out. Nice pithy poem. I haven't seen you before. I will look for you now. Have a good week. Karen

LOL... No filler, no push up, no injections, no poetic prosthetics...

What we see is au natural!

Not sure why this makes me giggle, but it feels adorable!

Might you become a stalwart at 5-7-5 or 3-5-3? Good solid stories in such short order challenges one's creative grasp on Webster's library of adjectives.

Short and sweet . I also like short to the point poems. syllable count perfect, well set out and delightful picture. Like to know more about you, where you live apart from writing your hobbies etc. All the best to you and good luck with the contest

    Thanks so much for the great review and stars. I just re-read your poem Dancer which I did review. I am a very frustrated dancer. I had the correct body, talent etc. but not the opportunity. I was born in 1942 so maybe in the next life. Take care Jen. X

I appreciate reading postings that come straight to the point. It is refreshing after reading a few others that would benefit from undergoing a lot of serious editing. While I write a lot of short poems, I do mix it up a bit and post some that run short-story length. That is one of the great things about FS, there is plenty of variety to choose from. Best wishes with your excellent entry!

You have accomplished what you set out to do. It's really neat that your topic is reflected in the physical simplicity of the poem and straightforwardness of the words, even the plainness of the font.
Nicely done! Julie

I think that's a fair comment for a shortened syllable response! I think there's a time and a place for brevity and another one for being expansive and exploring ideas in depth.

Good morning,
I think this is a perfect 20 syllable poem...with the use of perfect rhymes.
Sometime short and sweet is all that is needed in a great poem.
