I like this one very much. I like the flow, the wry sense of humor, the sense of lost loves within a dream world that is more real than reality at times

Dreams are fickle and when reality dawns we are once again grounded. The structure of your poem is somewhat unusual, although you retained some mono rhyming there is no meter to give these words a melody, love Dolly x

YOu did an excellent job fulfilling all the requirements of the contest and, while I"m not normally a big fan of monorhymes, you did a good job capturing my attention and holding it to the end. :)
Best in the contest! I didn't see any errors or need for change.
Blessings,
Deb

A terrific entry for the mono rhyme. I don't recall ever seeing a contest of this type. I'm sure this was not so easy. It not only rhymes it actually makes sense. Excellent work. Very nice and complimentary artwork. No edits or adjustments necessary.

I sit here trying to determine whether or not your author's notes
detract from your monorhyme poem. After a second reading, I
believe the only thing that adds to it is the fact that the artwork
is a personal picture of your Once Upon a Dream journal. Your
poem is strong enough to stand on its own. Good luck in the
contest.

Your words have a musical feel and flow to them. Your two line stanzas have a smooth flow of words that give a dreamy feel to your poem. Your rhyme is perfect and steady. Excellent work.

This is a creative bit of writing and I enjoyed the picture as well as your words. As a poem, I felt that it lacked flow ansd continuity in many places. Nice job and best to you.

This tells of what seems like a wonderful love that is lost in a break-up. I like the repetition. I don't think you need the phrase the phase of redeem. It really doesn't make sense and it ruins the meter of the poem. Also you can take out "esteem for' . I know it adds eternal rhyme but also makes the meter jumpy.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
