I certainly enjoyed the entire verse and it was quite visual as it was
like a slow walk of love and agony, as like a glimpse into one's diary. Well written and I thank you for sharing. Ed

Oh, wow! No, this must be the winner, right? This is worth all six of my stars, Jill. Nicely crafted! I love the overall disjointed, shattered theme, and your artwork is perfect.

    Yes, this is the winner. I had a lot of fun with this. It's not biographical other than I was in a supposedly empty apartment recently that had lots of trash in it and obviously I've experienced heartache over the years. I just wanted to write a poem about the dying daisies and tequila bottle.

There seems to be a lot of hurt in this poem. I am sorry about the pain you have endured, but at least it drives you to create beautiful art like so :)

Well done. You have created a whole story of a broken relationship and its sad, devastating consequences, leaving the reader wondering where the person is, and if s/he is alright. Very well written. Good wishes for the contest.

That is such a sad story. I like how you brought out little details that later led to a bigger picture when all the pieces came together. There are far too many who have felt this pain.

This is a sad write for sure. It speeks a a tumultuous life that was lived yet no evidence is left of the one who lived. This is a good write for the contest.

Some persons make promises for the pleasure of breaking them. The broken promises are like knives that pierce your heart. But one has to forget them, come out of the trauma and move forward. Life is beautiful. Good luck in the contest!

It sounds as if disaster struck in this abandoned apartment. Such a sad poem; true in many cases I am sure. You have created a feeling of curiosity as one wonders what could have happened to create such chaos. I also feel for the poor soul who was so badly hurt. Good work! Excellent illustration.

Creates a feeling of mixed emotions; hopelessness, frustration, apathy, loss, deep sadness. I think it's a good poem. It leaves me wondering. The picture you chose works well with it, also. Best of luck in the contest. :)
