Is It?
I chose the letters I and T36 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This two-letter poem, Is It?, accomplishes whatb seems like a terribly hard challenge to write a piece using this restriction. I think you did a good job. My only suggestion would be to add the quotation marks where appropriate.
"It is ~ it isn't, Isaac(?)."
"I think it is," I insisted.
"Is it?" I thought it through. "I think it is!"
"Interesting, isn't it?"
I interjected.
"It takes time to think.
Though it is, I truly think."

Well, you seem quite convinced, lol, although I am not sure what it is you are so sure of. Imaginative, and well done. Best wishes for your entry. Wendy

Wow. I just read the instructions for this poem. If I had a six I would give it to you just for being able to follow the instructions. But you would also get a six because I want to know now. Is it or isn't it. Gretchen

Comment from Charles W. Johnson
Giving a five because I think its an impossible task to write meaningful or good poetry under the contest's criteria. Call me a curmudgeon but this may be a format that would be best if Fanstory not resurrect again. I respect the fact that you came up with something entertaining given the circumstances. And interesting photo choice.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice image and presentation.
-You did a good job with your two letters.
-I like how you make it a dialogue.
-It flows well and makes sense in a unique
way since you are only allowed two letters.
-A very good entry; good luck!!

You are welcome.
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Whew! That's a heck of a prompt. The text is a nice size. You have begun all your words with I or T. You used some of the words from the example and your poem reads more like a conversation or prose rather than a poem. The latter part does not make clear sense to me. I think you have given it a lot of effort, but it's not a poem. I don't get how a tree fits the text. You have time to revise it.

Comment from dragonpoet
This poem does follow the contest but never answers the question these boys are asking. I assume they are all boys. We don't even know what it is. What a mystery.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from J L Graves
I think it is. I'm still mulling this one over. I like the humor in your writing, and the picture captures the wondering even more. And, I think you did what needed to be done for the contest. I truly think.

It is what it is--interesting, Mystery Author.
I enjoyed your fun entry. Your words flowed
smoothly like a bit of a conversation using two
required letters only. THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan
