Small victories and so transient! I think most of us can relate to your reflection in your ABC Poem. I admired the parallel picture as well. Best wishes in the competition- Joan

Excellent entry, and best of luck. Questions keep popping up, and there are always things that can't be easily resolved. Great imagery with the shadows dancing. It's hard to escape those truths, even if they're concealed under hidden eddies. Great work. judi

Comment from Debra White
Hello :)
This is an excellent entry for the ABC poetry contest.
It is very relatable...
You create a mood that perfectly encapsulates the dark secret theme. The final line is perfect. The truth will out eventually...
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes, Debra :)

Hi Debra. Thank you so much for the great review. When I wrote it, I was thinking about how everyone has a memory they punch down when it pops up in their mind... I do not believe anyone is exempt from that truth.... I just thought it was a verse we could all relate to and understand. I appreciate your time you took to review.

Comment from Heather Knight
You have written a very realistic poem, I can relate to it. I think this is something we all do from time to time: pushing uncomfortable truths into the recesses of our mind.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

As I see it, Melissa/ be yourself and/ caress the souls that are/ depressed because life/ found the secret of youth.
Smile, and the world smiles with you./ cry and you bring the rain./ decide the direction and /enjoy life's moments/for you only live once.
I like your ABC poem it is a good entry.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is a superb ABC poem. You have effectively used both literal
and figurative language to describe the mindset of a person who doesn't WANT
to remember certain things!

Hi Janice... Yes, I think we all push truths back into the corners sometime. Just an observation

Oh, yes, I totally agree. I've gotten pretty
good at blocking unwanted thoughts,
because I pray to be able to.
Comment from lyenochka
That's a thought-provoking poem, Melissa! I guess we all have truths that we don't want to face and deal with. The picture is lovely and fits your second line well:
"Shadows dance in the fog and mists."

Oh, I like this!
I like especially...'under the swirling eddies to hide them'...very original.
You've even used 'V'...that's a toughie!
Good luck,
Blessings...

I appreciate your thoughts, Judy, and even though V can be tough, this one seemed to write itself on the paper... go figure???

Comment from Mistydawn
What a beautiful picture. Your message is something I'm sure we all can relate to at one time or other in our lives. Not wanting to face a hard fact so we push it to the back of our mind. Great job.
