What a self-explanatory work. A mixture of well-chosen words coupled with an image to match. It couldn't be said better.
I loved the poem.

Comment from Debbie Pope
I honestly tried to not give you another one of my sixes, but I could not bring myself to do it. These 17 syllables are so deserving. You could easily win the contest.
I love your extended metaphor. To me, your doors are stages of life--turning points that represent a journey where hopes will be fulfilled or dashed. It's next to impossible to close those doors. To do so gives finality to failure.
Truly outstanding, Diane.

Hello Debbie!
Goodness!
I am so very sorry for being so late in my response.
I am very honored by your exceptional rating and complimentary review.
I love the challenge of short poems, but this one has a personal edge to it when I think of my family...
Out to the gardens again today; I can barely move, but I am so happy to be digging away!
Thank you again!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about doors of the past that sometimes don't remain closed and let some of the old things come through to make our present unbearable.

Diane,
Your selected artwork perfectly matches your contest entry verse.
I like the connection you established with the old doors and unhinged. Your intended rhymes just add to the effectiveness of your limited syllables - nice presentation for this day's read!

I love the symbolism of the door. I have a painting of a door in my living room. I think your word choice was very clever and I especially like the last line. Good luck in the contest.
