I am not sure I am reading the rules right so erring on the higher side with this one. According to the rules, each line needs to contain both internal and external rhyme and this does not accomplish that. It is a lovely sentiment and I hope it does well for you.

The author has followed all of the rules for the writing prompt, with very nice internal rhyme and ending rhyme. The message flows naturally and it is a beautiful one. Words are powerful and can never be taken back. Nice job! Good luck in the contest. Blessings ~ Pat

Very well written and so meaningful. You need to put this on a 3M sticky note for your mirror. You are talented! I will share this with my daughters to remember too. You will be a hit in the contest!

Such harmony of blending of words, color and picture. Surely a remedy for healing. This looks like a hard form to write and I wish you well with the entry.

Join the club - I sometimes regret opening my gob before engaging my brain. :-)

To avoid 'passive' gerunds ('ing-ending' words), maybe:


'to mend our broken hearts
we need blunt those spoken darts'

Just a humble suggestion, and I won't be offended if you completely ignore me. :-)

Excellent message that compromise, apology and generally talking things over, is needed to heal the wounds.

Best wishes, Ray.

    Hi Ray...good morning! Thanks for your great ideas but the essence poem must have only six syllables per line. I sure appreciate your kind words.

    Thanks for your gracious reply, and I apologise for not realising that.

    Cheers, Ray.
