Excellent

This is a nice use of repetition to get a point across. That everyone needs to help to get the world back from the it is seems to be falling into. Too many are being killed for no good reason. This has got to stop before the tears stop.

Hope you do well in the contest.

Keep writing

I liked how you humanised the teardrop. Could've been better if there was a little more feeling in it ie why was it weeping and why only 1 teardrop?

Thanks so much for your review, the poem was written based on the artwork selected. As their is only one teardrop reflected in the artwork, this poem was written based on that as well as the feelings coming from my heart. Please tell me how I make it a better poem, your suggestions will be greatly appreciated in order to receive a better rating. Thanks so much for you review, kindness and consideration. Blessings my friend............................

Comment from William Ross

Good

This is a wonderful free verse but where is the competition it's a free verse prompt about competition, competing in something, sports or something. That is why I gave a 4, it does not meet the prompt specs. very nicely written though, have a good day.

Well done, an excellent free verse entry in this competition, the theme of a single teardrop is slightly different fo carver of tears. Unless it's a singular reference, it which case well done, I think the theme and the wording are an excellent one, well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

Excellent

An emotional plea for mankind to act civilised.

I could find no fault with this poem. Indeed I think it's well written.

Extremely well presented with the teardrop scream. The colour blue is appropriate.

A good contender for the contest. Good luck...
