Comment from Jesse James Doty
Poetry can help one feel there is no doubt about that and I love the way you use thy and thou when writing in the old English style of poetry. This is excellently done and I love the picture of the English man with the old-fashioned dress and the wig on for good measure.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the great review, Jesse. Yes, I love the old English. I wish I was better at it. Once I came across this picture, I just had to use it, knowing it matched perfectly. I really appreciate the generous stars, friend. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have yourself a great weekend.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
This is so eloquent in words and presentation. If one was to ask what the poet's job is no better explanation can be given but to share their soul and heart in verse so that others may feel it.
Good luck in the contest.
This should be a contender.
Best wishes,
Mary

Comment from Jim Wile
Excellent 5-line poem. Such an accurate portrayal of a poet's job--to share his soul so that others may feel it. It was also beautifully presented with the Renaissance era painting and the font you chose. A great poem in every way.

You are very welcome, Ron. Your new profile pic made me smile. You have a great weekend, too.

I created that pic myself.

Thanks for sharing. You might be interested in a post by Debra White called "A Challenge (for you!)" Her daughter created the artwork. Hope you check it out. I'm writing a story for it and posting Sun.
Comment from Wendy G
Excellent, with an old-fashioned feel due to old English. Just wondering if you could continue the second person throughout "while scribing thy heart in verse" - just a thought. Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you for the great review, Wendy. I gave thought to that before I posted it but I figured 'one's' was just as poetic. Lol. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have a fantastic weekend and thank you again.

Indeed. Very pretty words trying to encourage poets to keep sharing their work. Your picture intrigued me. Man or woman? Good luck in this site contest. It should do well.

Lol. I don't really know. I took it as a woman but from what they're wearing and the hat, it could be a dude. I'm not real sure. Just a pic I figured went good with the post. Thank you so much for the huge sixer and good luck wishes, Lynda. I'm glad you liked my little contest offering. I hope you have a fantastic weekend. Thank you again.

Comment from robyn corum
ds,
OoooooOOooo.... Me likey!!
This is an elegant, more *old~world* way of stating things. I mean, there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying things in the more modern way, but there is a sweet romanticism that is lost in the translation.
Your syllable counts are perfect in each line, and though I have not read any other entries, I have to believe this one will rise~like cream~to the top!
Regarding the *blessed*~ I actually agree 100 percent with what Jim said... that most readers will decipher that from the setting and contest requirements. But when I personally have been in this situation, I have always hyphenated the word, as:
bless~ed.
Yours to use or toss, as always. Other than that, I think you have done an awesome job. Btw, one of the really cool things I like~and almost forgot to mention !~ is your choice to speak of someone ELSE*s writing. Kudos!!!!
I think our tendency a lot of the time is to kinda focus on our own??? (Well, I guess I may be guilty of that, anyway... shhh... you do not have to spread that info around.)
Thanks so much. This is a lovely piece to dwell on. Good luck!!

Hey, Robyn, hello. Thank you so much fore the awesome review. I love old-world language. I just wish I was better at it. Whenever I find someone who can pull it off brilliantly, I take notes. Lol.
So Jim is Pantygynt's name? I never knew that. Thank you for that info. Plus, sadly, I'm sure somewhere on here, someone would want to question how many syllables I want my blessed to be. Haha. So I was just covering my back.
I dearly appreciate the kind review. The best one of the bunch. I'm glad you liked my little contest offering. Have yourself a wonderful weekend and thank you again.

Comment from royowen
There's one thing that remains true, writers sympathise with writers, so I know when I write, they will empathise with that writing, this is a most sympathetic post, it deserves a good chance, well done, good luck, blessings Roy
