I like this one, it is a strong contender for the contest. the first time I heard of Kaie 21, and I like what meanings can be expressed in so few words.

good luck in the contest. Mary

This is a very deep poem & 21 words it tells a tale, that is one of truth & insight There are a lot of four stanza poems out there that make little sense, while yours, in 21 words, lets the cat out of the bag. Agree, definitely with this, Mirror of Life philosophy.

Hi Anupam,
How Zen-like, "halfness complements existence", speaks of ying and yang, I believe. For, how can we be complete without understanding both sides of a purpose? I liked the word play of "...reflection that mirrors life's simplest truth--" complemented by the stunning picture of nature IN reflection, and also, which ties the piece with the opening line, "Still life awaits...", well done. (Cool guitar, too!) Great job with your thought and projection. Hope you've penned a winner! Later, Bill

Oh Yeah! Karen dropped me a note last week... said she's only two-thirds of the way through her schooling and very busy. I know she counsels young men, but then she and her husband have a lot of land they care for, with a big garden, so I know that keeps her going. She said she still writes in her notebook and hopes to have more time to, soon. Anyway, hope you have a great evening, buddy, later, Bill

The presentation of the water reflection, creating a guitar is stunning. Paired with the poem it reeks perfection. I enjoyed this Katie 21. It must be a new form, I have never written one. Halfness complements existence... I like that.
Good luck in the contest.
:-) Carolyn

that mirrors life's simplest truth--
halfness complements existence,
completeness follows emptiness.

You take my breath away, and this new verse made me cry, its so real, so happening with many human beings, you are a God given excellent brain to come out with beautiful little words made of gold, and write what you write. Oh gentleman, what an amazing career you have as a writer, I will keep reminding you that. Bless you young man. Hugs Terry xoxo

This reads beautifully, but I would appreciate a little more accessibility, a bit more simplicity. You make excellent use of parallel structure: fluent perfection and quiescent reflection, and halfness complements existence, completeness follows emptiness. Your depth of thought is admirable. I'm sure you'll do well in the contest. judi

Thanks for another lovely review, Judi. I think I finished second in this one and I am on my way to holding record for most second-place finishes...LOL!

reply by judiverse on 06-Jul-2014

If you finish second that many times, you're doing better than I. Unfortunately, that doesn't pay. judi

Hi Anupam :)
Thank you for entering the contest :)
I really enjoyed your reflective katie 21 - it's one that make you think.
I like the way the first 4 lines rhyme and I like that you taught me another new word... 'quiescent'
Lovely and very well written.
Good luck in the booth. Best wishes as always, Debra :) x
