An interesting entry, Lea. It does read a bit staccato but I take it that was intentional? The poem certainly goes well with the image. All the best of luck. Ulla xcx

Thank you, Ella. Yeah, I had to follow a certain syllable count. On only 4 lines, of course, one person gave me a crappy review, thinking that they weren't 4 lines that there were 7. And i'm like, no, the page didn't allow me to create it all in one line, so I went back in and shrunk the font. Now you gotta really expand it to read it.But this lady did say she thought it was seven lines. We can't win them all. I guess, but that's okay too. I can handle it. Thank you once again Ulla! I so appreciate your attention to this series. Your great review. It's much appreciated along with your time. I hope the New Year brings you nothing but joy and happiness. Thanks again!

The way this contest entry is formatted is very interesting. The single word at the end of each line gives that word importance. I enjoyed reading. Thank you for sharing this entry with us and good luck with the contest.

Hi Lea,
This is another excellent poem, but you have six syllables in the 2nd line. If you remove 'a' the sentence will still mean the same thing and you won't be disqualified. Good luck in this contest, my friend. :) Sandra xx

Thank you so much. I made the correction.You have an eagle eye.That's perfect, thank you for pointing it out! One lady thought I had 7 lines, so she didn't give me a very good review. Unfortunately, but that's okay. I can handle it. I made the font smaller, but it's hard to read now. It is what it is. Thank you again. ISO appreciate your time. Your great comments, if awesome rating and that you are reading along with this series is great! I hope your christmas was grand and that 2025 holds nothing but happiness and joy for you!

You are flourishing with these unique beings you are creating! The line "Grey cracked granite skin" is especially descriptive. And that image you made! YIIIIIIIIIKES!! That is one seriously formidable presence!! Good luck in the Four Line Poem contest! xo

Thank you my friend! Thank you for your awesome review, your great writing and your time. Most of all, you're a busy lady, so I appreciate this. I think these people are gonna end up in a book. Like the manitary, the uh, man of stone I think gonna be no, they're gonna be a manifier, a man of a man of water or man of wet.I'm not sure yet. We'll see how it goes. Thank you again, my friend. I hope this coming New Year. It brings nothing but happiness and joy!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
From trees to rocks, presumably falling (rumbling) from up high, your hybrids now have a more menacing appearance with those "captured eyes" staring out from their granite sockets. Checking on the contest prompt, you've complied with the syllable count in lines 1,3 and 4 but not in line 2 which has 6 syllables instead of 5. This could be easily amended by excluding 'a.' An eye-catching and memorable entry, Lea. Well done and good luck! Debbie xo

Thanks so much Debbie. Yes, I did make the change. One lady thought I put 7 lines there when really there wasn't enough space to make it all on 1 line. Even though it looks like it does on the post, but I went ahead and shrunk the font anyway, but unfortunately she I felt that it was a uh, a big mistake and so gave me a low rate. But that's okay I can handle it! Want me to change to the font? However, it's a bit small, so people will have to just blow it up to read it. Thank you, my friend. I appreciate all your words and you're great reviews, and you're fine rating too! I hope Christmas was amazing and may your New Year. Bring you all the joy and happiness! Thank you again!

Lea,
This is another great poem in your series. It's perfect for the four line poem contest. You must have a great imagination to continue your line of characters.
Great job and good luck in the contest

Thank you again, wow, i'm privileged, so appreciate this! Yes, I'm thinking that it will be a story within poetry. With all these hybrid creatures that i've chosen the manitree and the manistone. Appreciate this so much! I hope that you and yours are well and that you enjoy your evening!
Comment from Tim Margetts
Ooo, a new character, Lea.
Now we introduce a stone golem in the form of a manitree. Awesome sauce.
These, at some point, are going to need to be gathered into a collected work. The Book of Manitree.
You may well have done this, but if not, you may find it useful to make a compilation f the different phases of manitree and how one is linked to another, a bit like a manitree family tree :-)

Ah what an image, I wonder how the two collide, because I was saying in scripture, trees clap hands and the rocks cry out, what a great mixture, well done, Lea, blessings Roy
