Beautiful photo, and a thoughtful expression in your fifteen syllables. I agree that poetry, when well written, touches the soul, not just the mind, of the writer and the reader. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings. Carol

This is a wonderful piece of poetry in only fifteen syllables! I think you're right that authors are never content. I love your words. They ring true. Best wishes to you.

Comment from KJ
15 syllables but you managed to turn a concise phrase into a glimpse of a larger theme. Enjoyed this brief view into the writer's world.
ps. I'm fascinated by punctuation (yes, I'm weird). I bet you played around with the question of "ellipsis or no ellipsis?" quite a few times before you posted! I definitely would have!
Good job

Thanks so much KJ... the ellipsis encouraged the reader to linger with the intent that there is more, and there is so much more as hinted at in the notes. Thank you.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
I like the poem and the picture. I never thought about putting pictures with my poems until coming to this site. It is amazing how those pictures can make you feel. And the more you write, the more you think about writing something new. Thank you for sharing.

This is so true. The more we write, the more we have to write. You're a refreshing poet...and your thoughts are satisfying not only your thirst - but that of your readers.

Hello June... thank you so much. I was reading Pablo Neruda this morning and got inspired by reading him... he is so good. Hugs, sweet June.

Comment from Pantygynt
You're like Oliver Twist. He asked for more and got more than he bargained for - not just another dish of gruel but a whole musical that was turned into a film. I think I'd better work it out again!

This fifteen-syllable poem, Wanting More, has the required syllable count and shows that good verse feeds on itself and grows.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
I read it once, and then again and thought it was very good until my subconscious asked a question what is it that poetry leaves and unquenchable thirst for more... what? Still, worth five stars.

Hi Tom... an unquenchable thirst for more poetry... flow of verse.. expression in writing. I guess it is a little unclear... sorry about that. Thanks so much for the comments.
