well, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm in a fog, here, madame, as to your meaning, though I've read it several times. You are too smart for me. I think I know what you're saying but not sure. Guess I'll leave it at that and hope for enlightenment. :) (much needed)

Thank you for hanging in there, my lady, and especially for giving it a go even though you weren't sure -- you are so awesome!! ;) :) You know these nutty blondes get sometimes... and now you have a nutty blonde poet - lol!! ;) ;) Take care out there and have a wonderful remainder of the weekend! ;) Yvette

you, too! Our weather has finally gotten gorgeous. How's yours?

Went the ENTIRE month of October without a drop of rain... and now can't seem to go three days without - lol!! But when the sun's out, it's WONDERFUL!! ;) ;) Gotta love the South! ;)

yessum!! We really need rain, however. Dry as a bone. Going out to supper for a friend's birthday at 5:30. We're at the stage where we're home by 8:00. I used to laugh at that.
Comment from Tim Margetts
Would that war and violence could be stilled with a voice crying enough. But we live in a world where greed, or politics, or religion, or a warped amalgam of all, bring constant conflict to our lives and our doors.
This is a good poem
Thank you for sharing it

Thanks, Yvette.
I shall do my best to do so.

Comment from June Sargent
Always war, never peace. Humanity's cries of despondence drowned out by the shrieks of warmongers. A powerful entry for the contest! With the perfect artwork.

Always good when you meet a deadline! Great little poem for the contest. It flows well, has all the components you need for the 3-6-9 format and has heart. Good luck

Comment from DonandVicki
Your poem sent my mind wandering about the second line: "'bove cacophony's reign." The world we live in is in chaos and your poem speaks to me about this.

Comment from lyenochka
I'm glad you let your muse speak and I can't help but feel your poem speaks of the different voices of different political parties and different sides of wars. We need the Lord to reign over us.
Great 369 poem! Hope it does well in the contest!

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Since my two favorite artists are Norman Rockwell and Vincent Van Gogh, I thought the painting you use is Picaso. I never could figure out what he was painting. It meets the 3-6-9 style. It takes real skill to put polysyllabic words into fixed meter verse and make it fit, and be meaningful. Gotta give you a six on this one.

I think he must have been 'touched' (and not in the angelic way)... His work always seems to scream at me rather than call for interpretation... :-) :-) Thanx so much for the review and especially for those awesome stars, sir -- definitely helps to put a little starshine into the bit of 'darkness' I know that this one wears... :-/ Hope you have a great remainder of your weekend, Z!! ;) Yvette
P.S. (off topic here) Has my vocab changed since I was on a few years ago cuz I've gotten a number of comments on that over the past few offerings...? Inquiring minds want to know... ?? Thanx!
-
As far as vocab changing, I would just say you're using a lot more polysyllabic words. I noticed that earlier. I'm just guessing that some readers might have a little trouble understanding some of your descriptors. It seems like some of your writing is a shorter format than three years ago. That would be my personal observation.

Oh, well... as Popeye sez: I yam what I yam... :/ :) :0

That's no criticism from me. Some of the people here won't understand you. HAHAHA Z ;<)))
Comment from Shanbreen
Yvette, once again, your language amazes me. Yes, when reality is a nightmare, nightmare becomes a reality (from the internet). What you have written is dark--"'Tis never enough!" but unfortunately, it is a reality. Well done Yvette and thanks for sharing.
