Got here late but that's an advantage because the votes are in and you tied for first place...which is perfect. This is a mantra I wish the entire world would take up. Too much division and not enough justice. Great job summing up a societal mess in 17 syllables!

This sacred bird is flying, soaring through the skies. He is displaying the quietness of his flight. Peacefulness and tranquility are what he is sending from the heaven above.

Your poem gave me a feeling of calm, almost like a prayer. Your poem has a religious vibe to it. The picture is perfect it reminded me of the holy spirit. Whether intentional or not. It is a great poem.

Comment from Bill Schott
This 5-7-5, The Fire Within, has the right set up and emphasizes the journey to find justice. The justice sought and the use of the sea gull are unclear.

Bill, Thanks so much for the kind review. The justice sought is justice for ALL, and the seagull symbolizes freedom. Thanks for reading.
Comment from Patty Palmer
Your poem says a lot in these few syllables allowed. When will this madness stop. How many crimes have to be committed and how many innocent people (including children) end up dying for no reason before someone steps forward and says "That's enough!!" Someone needs to start running our country instead of killing it. Good luck with the contest.

An excellent spiritual analogy with fire, and hopefully the desire for justice and actions which promote it will be a constant fire within many. Best wishes for your thoughtful and fine entry.

"The Fire Within"
This is a 5/7/5 Fire Writing Prompt Entry.
Rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
...
The Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
Good luck with this one.

Comment from juliaSjames
Yes indeed! There is something inside our spirits that keeps us motivated in the struggle for justice.
This entry resonates with me and hopefully with all who are moved to vote in the prompt..
Personally I think it would be more effective if you switched the first and last lines.
Good luck!
Stay safe and blessed

I found this to be a most creative and interesting poem. The artwork is perfect for the subject of the writing. Hope is one thing we can always carry within no matter how bad things get. I wish you a world of luck in the contest.
