Comment from Sanku

Excellent

Oh great! you paint too. I liked your misty morning ,both the acrylic on canvas seascape and the accompanying word picture.I liked the idea of fog being a grey shroud and the sun struggling to tear it open.

Carolyn, I enjoyed this as a lovely pen-portrait of a scene. You veered away from the fog a little in the middle section, but that matters little.

Strong description utilising a number of sensory images that those familiar with the sea will recognise all too well.

Good stuff.

Steve

The acrostic, Foggy Morning, is well written. The presentation and the colour all serve to heighten the strength of your words. I like the line:

Gagging on the thickness and the morning stench... that was really imaginative! Good luck in the contest! xsx sandra

This is a really good descriptive acrostic for your entry to the contest. As it is 'Foggy Morning' I think your title should be just that. That it usually the way it is done. I cannot see the near rhyme, but then it is not necessary - this free style works well and the descriptive writing makes up for it and is an enjoyable read. Good Luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy x

Thanks so much, it is actually not an entry, however, I wish it were. :-) I appreciate your fine remarks, Carolyn

Sonali, this is a densely, pardon the pun, worded write that delivers strong emotional and descriptive words that puts the reader inside the sights, smells and sounds of the bay. Well done. :0 GracieAnn

Hi there GracieAnn, this is Carolyn, :-) I am so glad you enjoyed this one. Your comments always mean a lot to me, and I feel confident Somali would say Thanks as well.
Love, Carolyn

Well done. Both the painting and the poem. It doesn't read like an acrostic, but flows smoothly more like free verse. A+ personification of the fog. Excellent sensory appeal. Lavish buffet of rotting fish for the seagulls who give it a standing ovation. Great image. One of your Carolyn. Wish I have a sixer left. -

Thanks Shari for this wonderful review. I am so glad you enjoyed it and the poem. I hope to display more paintings and photos of my own from time to time. I will treasure the virtual six.

This sure beats trying to find an appropriate picture, If you can use your own artistic skill to paint one..Very nice & quite a compliment for your poem that I liked & particularly the last line of the last stanza.

Thanks for Sharing & have a Wonderful new year....Caressa

Multi-talented artistry I see, we share a little something in common. Love the artwork as it depicts the very essence of your wonderfully crafted piece you have delivered. Took me to the seashore.
God bless!
