I believe this was best entry for this contest. It was wonderfully written and very, very unique. For the uniqueness alone, you'll get my vote. Well done. Good luck!

Comment from Selina Stambi
My favourite line: at least it's a colour that will truly belong only to me ...
A lovely picture to complement a very well written poem. You have some pretty lines in there .. the cellophane boundaries ...
Good luck in the contest. A great poem.

Comment from Tina McKala
Sharyn, I believe this has been the best poem I`ve read from you (and believe me I love your works so much!) but this one touched me somewhere very deep on those hidden places we try to keep covered even in front of us...I feel like a chameleon for most of the time...I know that feeling...you captured it so brilliantly! Thank you so much for his amazing piece of art!

I love the poem. I have met some people with no emotions of their won. They can and do imitate other peoples emotion. But they are like a soul thief. Great work.

I understand your poem very well. I was married to a man for 30 years and I would wake up each morning and ask him how he was doing, knowing that would be how I was doing too. Great picture. Nicely done.

Neat picture selection to illustrate your theme! You use a fascinating premise about being a "chameleon". I particularly liked your "cellophane boundaries" and "fear" descriptions. -Joan

Comment from Jean Lutz
I think the color inside just poured out in ink. A soul of many hues. Don't be sad, be you. Then you will find it is those around you that become chameleons. Best wishes with the entry.

Comment from October21
Wow! I love the idea of being a chameleon to show that people who are sad just tend to blend in. Very clever. Also I thought Mayr a red background would have suite the poem.

Comment from Benjamin Valencia
Hello. I found your poem interesting even though, I wasn't thrilled with the format. the wording was a little large and spaced where it made the scrolling down a little of a nuisance. The picture you attached is appropriate and I liked your use of a chameleon. Indeed. We are walking mood rings ready to adapt our moods according to the society in and all around us. We and our moods are a product of our society. Kind regards and good luck. Cheers.

That would be truly sad, not to be able to feel your emotions. I think this is very interesting is not true for you. Well written and good luck!
