You do write well, Carolyn. As for me? I write as best as I am able and hope for the best. Time and practice make forx really successful writers in my opinion. That and if a person wants to be successful as a writer....they MUST read. One cannot be achieved without the other im my opinion.


Good job. thanks for sharing.

I think you are right. Someone recently asked me if I have published.
I replied , you first must write it. LOL Perseverance and a desire to do
well, with the acceptance of others comments, have helped me a lot.
I always appreciate your words of encouragement and look forward
to reading your fine work as usual.

Carolyn, a good entry for the contest as we all are writers and can relate. Something we ask ourselves over and over. Good job with this quinzaine

Your poem meets the format of 15 sylls count. The poetic form has line 1 as a statement, line 2 and line 3 ask question relate to line 1. Line 2 might be a question to ask why you want to write to question to line 1. I question on the need of an illustration for this type of question. Other than that, your short poem is nice to read. Best.

Hi, Roy
It was a strange little form to be sure. I figured might as well try. So I did half and
now you have to do yours. LOL ..
Have a great weekend... it is beautiful here this morning in Missouri, USA.
God is so good.

A very well-written Quinzaine poem. You really do write well without a doubt. Yes, I write and not very well at times but I am always learning and willing to improve.

I've heard it said, 'the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.' LOL
That is why I keep trying these strange little forms. One day I hope to be good.
I love your work too Sandra, and always look forward to reading.

I think you have hit the sentiment all of us on this site advocate bang on the head. We all want to inspire with our pieces. One thing however that I have learnt is not to take negative responses to heart. There is a heroic quality in sharing work that comes from our souls. We're never going to please everyone so self content is key. Yes, you do write well ;-)

Thank you, joannakruk
When I get a negative comment, I turn it into a positive reply
for the reader. The comments are sometimes so long that
I know it took a long time for that person to put down a poem
that might be a 3-5-3 or a 5-7-5... LOL
Also, have you found that some feel they have to understand
every word, and every punctuation to get 'this deep-deep meaning' out
of a very lightly written piece. It amuses me at times.
You are always appreciated. .
:-) Carolyn

Is this a photo of you. If it is you are a lovely lady.
I like the words to your poem and the answer to your question.
I think I'm improving little by little.
Have a safe week-end.

G'day Carolyn. Again I have no sixes left, sorry. Yes my friend, you write very well. In fact you are one of favorite authors of all time and Delia's as well. We both get a smile on our faces when we see your name pop into my inbox.

I don't know this form, but in my opinion, it's a fabulous contest entry and I wish you all the luck in the world in it.

Cheers Fez

Thanks Fez,
I appreciate you so much. This is a form that the 1st line makes a statement, next 2 ask questions relating to the
statement. BTW: that is a selfie of me saying Kumusta to you and Delia. My daughters are always wanting pictures
so I barrage them with selfies just for fun... LOL
Love you all, and thanks also for the good wishes..
:-) Carolyn

Hi, Carolyn

= I like your entry. Interesting format.
= Good luck in the contest, my friend.

Hi there, Jackie-Jax
yes it is me.... My daughters are always wanting selfies so I send them pictures of
everything just for fun. What I have painted, what I have cooked. Food plated ready to
eat...LOL, and one thing that has changed. My hair is naturally silver now. No color for 2 years..
The hardest part was growing it out from the color.
I am glad you liked this strange little form.
If you haven't done it, read the example given in the contest description.
I figured I couldn't do any worse. :-)
:-) Carolyn
