Excellent

A well-written contest entry. Your words flowed well and combined easily forming the message of the poem for the reader. I think your artwork completed the piece well.

Excellent

This tyburn, Irises, has the correct set up and really adds movement to the otherwise staid artwork. The words plumes and blooms are perfect for nailing the image of flora to the action released in your verbiage. Nice.

Good

Dear Mystery Writer,

This is a fun poetry form. I think you've written a pretty good contender for the contest - with one minor issue. I don't see ANYTHING 'gloomy' about this painting OR this poem. I do NOT think that word has any place in this poem. Though, of course, that is only my opinion (and we both know what that is worth.) heehee

But, if I may offer a suggestion?
1.) Vibrant colors flashing, dashing gloom
--> Vibrant colors, flashing, dashing plume(s)

And then maybe add an (s) to the last line, as well.

Anyway, good luck in the contest!!

Good suggestions. My intent however was to show how colors dispel gloom, smashing it. Tyburns are a challenge. But I will keep trying.
