Your poem is by far the best in my opinion. It touches my soul. Everyone on Fanstory can relate. Great picture and the background and font gave your poem style. Excellent presentation.

Love all the senses that this poem conjures up. There's music and the feeling of despair and the soothing of lapping water bringing restoration as the poetry releases the despair. Best wishes in the contest!

Hello Author,
I love this 20-syllable entry. Right on the mark with your syllables, the story is complimented perfectly by the photo. The words of the poem couldn't ring truer as well... I think they'll ring a bell with everyone here, for sure!
Great job! Good luck in the contest :)
Susan :)

I like the fact that the graphical structure of your poem corresponds with its rhytm and speed. I have read your poem aloud, it sounds so fine :)

I've found that writing, or rather creative endeavours are the most settling things one can pursue, and to merely to create something that hadn't occupied a space before is tremendously fulfilling, beautifully written well done, good luck, blessings Roy

This describes poetry and what it means to be wonderfully and it sounds like you feel the same way too. I love the last three lines saying how poetry becomes the balm of raging waves soothing at the core of my soul. I couldn't say it completely but this is my retention of it as it speaks to me.
Thank you for sharing a poem that tells it like it is!
Jesse

The author's words are engaging, descriptive and creative. I liked how the
author describes poetry as music! I pondered on how we use poetry
for celebration, fun and despair! The poem flows and connects well. The
artwork is awesome and compliments this poem.

I enjoy this 20 syllables poem about poetry. I have the feeling about it. It helps when you are sad or happy, even during a peaceful time of one's life.

Well done.

The font is a little hard to read.

    I changed it once. Perhaps, I need to make it not be cursive. Thanks for the view,
