enjoyed your poem and ponder the question as well. they require to write more but when enough is said, enough is said, again, "good job." Do you prefer poetry over writing stories? Just curious.

    I have written poetry since I was young and never thought I had the intelligence to write stories. I got the bug one day and wrote one and then I was hooked. It was fun and even more fun when I was able to win contests with them. I guess I would say it is pretty even now.

I find this poem to be lightly spun, with a deft hand. I enjoyed reading it very much, and my favourite words were:
The child can laugh
And spread her song

This No-restrictions poem, A Question, seems to ask, "Where is Truth?". The answer seems to be that no matter what life offers, it is only available on a limited basis and all will pass.

The ephemeral nature of everything. There is a time and a place for all things, but the time is always brief. This is a thoughtful piece, also provoking thought in the reader. It's a comment on life and its brevity - but is there hope? Well written, and best wishes for your entry.

The mistakes that are being made does not bring a smile to anyone's face unless they are selfish in wanting. Nothing last forever; not even a song; so we might as well make the most of our stay.

There is a lot that is going on in this short poem. Your use of rhyme and meter make this poem read very smoothly. It should do very well in the contest.

I think you've done a fine job with this poem, the free verse and shortness of the length seems to enhance the work, they can have great impact on the sense and imagery of the work, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

That was a good entry for that contest. Good imagery, visuals, the artistic presentation and the choice of an artwork.

I wish you luck in that interesting contest.

A poignant short poem. The pleasant rhyme scheme makes this very easy to read. Seemed a bit strange for the fist stanza to be in an almost 'old English' that isn't continued. In any event, well written and structured. Good luck in your contest. Bill

This No Restrictions Poetry writing prompt entry speaks a question for life from dawn till night, scarcity of regular food and nothing for refreshment; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this. ALCREATOR
