Simple yet the poem says so much. On gray days like your poem describes I feel sick. I know it's in my mind, but I can't help it. Your poem is very relatable. The picture adds that special touch.

This 1-6-1, An Obscure Day, has the proper formatting and brings the idea of a foggy afternoon to mind between the wording and the overcast photograph.

Wow this short format really captures the ambiance on an Obscure Day complete with lovely canine - so well told here and with added rhyming scheme- has my vote

This is a great poem. I love the rhyme scheme it works really well throughout this short 1-6-1 poem. The picture compliments the poem nicely.

Well done

Cecilia

What a spookily eerie picture you have used to illustrate your words.
While the poem describes well the scene, the image asks so many more questions. A good combination indeed.

Wow! I don't know what comes first (the picture or the poem) but they compliments each other so well. Makes me what to cozy up in my PJs with a cup of tea (or wine) and read a book or write something . Best wishes for the contest!

Aw, I think this is outstanding in it's simplicity.
The gray tones of the photo help set the scene.
Am totally feeling your gray tones.
Perfectly written!

I love that these six words are so descriptive. I can literally almost see and feel the day described. Great work! Good luck with this piece and thanks for sharing.

We see many days like this during the winter months in England and we tire of the greys and pray for spring when colour comes back to life, I enjoyed your rhymes as the colour drained from this poem, love Dolly x x x
