Comment from Derrick Payton

Excellent

Those few words took me to a place I've never been, except through books, movies, etc. I love how you automatically spark my imagination into feeling the breeze blowing over the sand and agitating the surface of the water. With work such as this how can someone appreciate such a creative imagination.

Exceptional

Good job setting the scene with this poem. I like your choice of words you use to describe the setting. I almost has a chill run up my spine when I read the poem.

Hello Ginda, darn, I'm out of 6
stars, so a 6th star falling from heaven to you. A beauteous poem on the
timelessness of Egypt. The
photograph is so lovely. My
very best wishes for the
contest. Many blessings to you and yours. ~

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
says it all! I never though about how old the water in a River is! But
I will from now on! Thank you for the author's notes - something to
ponder on! The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem.
Have a great Sunday!...Maria

This twenty-syllable poem, As Old as Time, has the proper syllable count and imagines the scene of this exotic place, at close of day, and the beginning of fables.

Excellent entry for the 20 Syllable Poem contest.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize. But the poem is about a indigo sky and your sky is yellowish amber.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

Hard to find an image to match my poem. I decided the moonlight on the Nile was the more important.
