    Thank you for reading my poem and for the suggestion. I deliberately don't highlight them, although I know some do. I just like the poem to flow naturally and not look like I was forcing words. Does that make sense?:

this is a lovely idea to wash our hurt and troubles away. I think it is a good idea! It is difficult to move forward after such pain- mostly because we dwell on our hurt.

    Yes, you are right. But life moves on even if we don't, so we really have no other choice then move with it and leave heartache behind. Thanks for reading my poem. :)

Congratulations on your win, grief can certainly grip our hearts tight at times.

Just one suggestion for you:

This line is out of metre:

"and walking alone by the sea."

"Alone and walking by the sea"

Love Dolly x

This is a grand piece. As I begin reading I thought how can they use soda but you pulled it off magnificently. I hope others will read your work and I wish you well in the contest

A very well-written story/poem using the described words. Sometimes the best way to heal a broken heart usc to let go of the thoughts that keep hitting your heart and soul.

A very well constructed poem with a theme that uses all the required words in an unforced manner. The rhythm and metre flow well, as does the rhyme. Very well written.

Really good job. You put effort into this and it shows. I read through all the submissions and your entry is by far the best just by effort alone. My vote added to your commanding lead.
