Left: Departed or Remaining?
A contronym poem6 total reviews
Comment from Tom Horonzy
I now have read all the contronyms in the contest before realizing what is it the originator wanted. Perplexing. Who would think of that? Yours fit perfectly and I appreciate the defining of each line.

Well done. I only dabble in poetry, but this was an interesting format. I had to read the definition of a contranym twice before I understood what you were trying to accomplish. Then I reread your poem. I liked your writing and word choice, and you achieved the defined contranym. Nice work. Good luck in the contest and stay well.

Thank you for taking the time to review my poem and for the excellent rating. I'm glad you found the format interesting. I'd never used the format before nor did I know what a contronym was before reviewing the contest, so this poem was a challenge. I appreciate your encouragement and kind words. Have a great day!

Hi there,
Firstly, many thanks for entering the competition. You will need to alter your last line to meet the requirements of the challenge. The last line needs to a single word contronym (the same one as the opening one). It needs to be on a line on its own.
All the best

My mistake. I interpreted the instructions as the last line had to contain the contronym. I will fix it now. Thank you for pointing this out!

This is rather sad writing. It tells a story in the poem and is easy to follow and understand. You have done a great job with the writing prompt. I wish you tons of luck in the contest. Nicely done.

Thank you for taking the time to review my poem and for the excellent rating! I typically prefer to compose more positive pieces, but this evolved into something sad on its own. Thank you for your kind words. I hope your day is wonderful.

The poem was sad, but the use of the words was clever indeed. I never really contemplated the many meanings of the word "left." Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you for taking the time to review my poem and for the excellent rating! If you are interested in words with multiple meanings, look up "right". That's a fun one, too!
