Fabulous picture,
By a great photographer.

Like the poem.
Except I thought it was about
seawater
till I read the notes!

I dare not recall my times of tears.

Excellent!
Great creativity incorporating blue font while simultaneously spelling an imperative word to resemble a falling teardrop;
Nothing like a good cry to make us feel better.

As much as I find the presentation of this little poem fabulous, I don't find the message that interesting. "Pills" is an odd word to describe a tearful vent, though I know it's appropriate syllable count. I believe the poet was going more for presentation than substance.

    Hi val, thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the presentation, although I promise that I did think about the content of the poem as much as the presentation! The word presented vertically is "spills" not "pills". I always appreciate your comments though ;) kindest regards as always, Debra

I love the picture. I love the way you formed the poem. Yes, tears spilling can bring you comfort. They wash away the pain. Tears are cleansing water. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

This was a cleverly written poem. The poem is well written, and flows well.

clever use of formatting as the word spills spills down the page
I like the alliteration of salt/spills/soothed
perfect pairing with the photo of the tear

some times crying seems to that the pressure off of what hurts so bad... a small poem that says so very much...so very well written...

This is a quite creative presentation, with the "salt water" spilling down the page. I enjoyed reading it. Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer

What a great picture and innovative presentation of your poem. There is nothing quite like a good cry for cleansing the soul and putting us back on track again!
