How did I miss this one, Jimi? I won't miss another. Congrats on getting into the contest! And what an evocative, creative work here. I love the way you draw the reader in, teasingly, with your suggestion that your muse is MIA:) In fact it's alive and well and exploring the wondrous feats of nature as it take us on a journey from dawn to nightfall. Some impressive imagery (velveteen rabbits, shimmering black satin curtains) and personification. The visual reflects the concept of a painting in which you fully immerse your reader. Well done and good luck! Debbie

    Debbie, thank you ever so much.
    I was just notified of the booth.
    Of course you know your work is top notch. It doesn't surprise me at all that you were selected. Congratulations to you!

    Again a huge thank you!

    It's thanks to you dear Sojourner's in the contest because I hadn't heard of her before you suggested her:) So thank you.

    Debbie, if it would not have been Sojourner it would have been another. You are that gifted. Never doubt your unique ability and passion to bring iconic and legendary figures who are truly heroes to life. I applaud you.

    I hope one day you might try Pocahontas. Another strong Native who garnered peace between Natives and Colonist. It was no small feat.

    But I know your brain must be taxed and there are plenty of legends out there even in your country.

    Victoria,

    How are you my wonderful friend?

    The weather here has been atrocious! Bringing the shakes and turtles and baby alligators across the roads.

    Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I wasn?t expecting to be nominated. Of course, I don?t think anyone is. I am truly humbled.

Hello JL,
Your poem is there amid all the marvelous imagery.
What better inspiration than nature in all her
magical splendor and your words that bring it to life
once again for anyone to read.
Six stars of light.
Best wishes to you.
Robert

It is written that we are God's poetry, because of our potential to be like Him, He already has a perfect model of us in Christ, His Son. And the creation around us is is a reflection of Heaven. I tend to God who hung the stars on nothing, and the earth the image of Heaven, this is a magnificent free verse Jimmy. Blessings Roy

Lovely poem. Indeed, your muse was only resting for a moment marveling creation. You express yourself so well. The muse is within watching and waiting for you to take time. Esther

A watched pot never boils. Go away and make a cake! We can't force a poem, like an overcooked meal, it will spoil. I loved the super descriptive poem that you couldn't find! Your descriptions brought the poem alive. Well done my friend. K xx

    Kate, you are so funny and endearing.

    I've had a little trouble logging on this evening because of storms. Thank you so very much for your grand six stars and the positive energy you always give.

    Dolly,

    My muse does not visit so often anymore. Writing has taken a back seat to other priorities. Such is life. I remember a time when I could write daily and post daily, but it seems like eons ago.

    Thank you so very much for your review.

Your poem beautifully captures the journey of the search for inspiration and the imagery of the natural world. Each stanza paints a powerful image of sights, sounds, and sensations. Wonderful word choices. And this flows so well. I like how the opening lines set the tone with a sense of longing and anticipation, as you search for your poem.That is followed by these powerful images. I guess you found it! haha

    Michael,

    Thank you so much for reviewing and complimenting my work. For the last five years or more, I've put writing poetry aside because of other priorities and goals. I keep saying I am returning to participate in Fanstory as I did many years ago, but it has not happened.

    Thank you ever so much for a wonderful review. I am honored.
