Exceptional

And you succeeded in using run in a variety of ways. A great free verse, emotions showing through in a very descriptive poem. Enjoyed it, Zue, cheers.

Comment from Janet Foor

Excellent

A sad and poignant poem. You did a great job using the word run and running. Not sure I could do as well and still have it make sense.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

This sounds like a very poignant and reflectively wistful in its articulate content. Perhaps thoughts dwelling on the "what might have been" or if you had walked through another door, and if you might have been born an hour later, where would you have journeyed to, but if you're anything like, content with the pastures you have walked in. Beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

This was a sad, heart wrenching poem, dear Susan, and aptly illustrated. I suspect some of it's true or known to you. Time seems to be extended when the heart is broken. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the challenge,

You did a wonderful job with this 'run' club entry. I doubt I could've used 'run' in so many ways and make sense out of it. I could've done a nonsense poem. LOL. You not only met this challenge but surpassed it. Great job.

This is very interesting. You certainly have a wide range of meanings of your chosen (or imposed) word. It makes this club entry seem attractive to the reader. Thanks for sharing. Kate xx

You did a good job, Zue, with your free verse for the
club. I liked the color scheme, the perfect picture, and
the use of run in many of your lines. Your poem flowed
smoothly with a sad tale of lost love and remembered pain.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

The author's words are deep, heartfelt, descriptive and creative. I found
these words expressed with strong and clear details. I pondered on the
last stanza and found it filled with emotion. The poem flows and connects
well. The artwork goes well with the words and theme of this poem.

Hi Zue,
This is a valiant effort to use the word 'run' in as many ways as you can. My only problem when reading it, was that my mind kept wanting to change it to 'ruin' or forms of 'ruin' in several places. Usually ghosts... 'ruining my sleep' or 'ruins the air I breathe'.
I don't know that I could have fit so many 'runs' into a poem.
Well done :)
Susan :)
