The first 2 lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last is is
eccentric! I tried to picture the walls stretching and am still pondering on
these words! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome
and compliments the words in this poem!

love this poem that sounds like a bad ACID Trip as you go down the proverbial rabbit hole of reality as the drug scrambles reality all around you taking you to dark corners.

An amusing poem with a very find presentation and picture. I must admit, I had trouble with the last word of the second line (lol).

Good imagery, visuals and superb presentation. Best of luck in the contest.

This is most menacing as the place seems to be in another dimension, and possibly alive too. Clever use of sdrawkcab, and then followed by the stretching.

Well done with a most unique entry. Best of luck with the voters.

This 5-7-5, Malfunction Hopefully, has the right set up and creates an odd scene where one would hope they are in a dreamscape that will disappear when waking. Whew!

Very interesting writing. Makes me think of a preoperative countdown. I like the use of the reversed backwards. Very effective. Nicely written poem. Looking forward to more.

This is like a horror senryu, which is certainly something different. Combined with the image, you had me visualising all sorts of chilling movie scenes. Awesome stuff :-)

You've certainly got the right amount of syllables, but I'm bamboozled as to what word we have here, my spellchecker doesn't like it, nor my interpretive text, but well done, good luck, blessings Roy
Query: Sdrawkcab?

    Thanks for the review, Roy. the word is "backwards" spelt backwards!

    Of course it is, perhaps explain that in your notes for dummies like me.

This is an excellent 5-7-5 poem for the contest
with very good use of visuals like "backwards" and "glows"
appearing that way as well as "stretching."
Malfunction or just a test, either way an excellent entry.
Good luck in the voting.
Robert
