This is a very impressive poem. That you came up with the 12 syllable count to comply and it fits perfectly with your first two lines is amazing. Great stroke of genius

Hey neighbor! Who knew? I'm about a stone's throw away from you....in Agawam! My son lives in Springfield...

Maybe we could meet at a Dunkin's one day and chat poetry...

Very nice 2-1-2-12...

Congrats on winning the contest.

An excellent presentation with a fine complementary picture. Your meaning is clear, as you convey an important message in a few words. Your little poem makes one think. Nice job.

This is well written, and presented.

I can see why it has earned the accolades that it has.

The message is, to me, one of honesty and denial.

Circumstances can present themselves clear as crystal, and it is a choice to either deny that it exists or embrace it.

Close mindedness is, in its self an affliction.

I should send this to a friend of mine. This describes her to a tee. Always focused on what she doesn't have. Sees what everyone else has. I wish she could see her own bounty. This poem was a warning to all. Be thankful for all. Beautiful words.

You said it, girl! This reminds me of an old saying, "There are none so blind as those that will not see."

The image you chose is captivating and your words compliment it nicely. Regards, Lilly

Yep, you're absolutely correct my friend, with naked eyes wide open we will never see as much as the alert inner eye, it covers the whole gambit, or at least the things that are out of the outer sight. Beautifully written, blessings Roy
