Yes, that happens to me too. Maybe my mind is too simple. But you have made a humorous and witty three line poem from it - well done. Best wishes for the contest. Your piece will make everyone think!

i like this short and snarky poem about the adage read between the lines which sounds good but is difficult for many people to really comprehend or follow particularly those people who are literal minded

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is very well done, kahpot. Succinct, visual and a great closing line.

I think you might have the winner here, so I am more than happy to give you my last six star of the week.

Best of luck with the Contest Committee.

Haha, I see nothing between the lines. I know that's
the way you intended it, Kahpot. What a creative
contest entry. You presented this perfectly with the
color scheme and your perfect word choices.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

Read between the lines seems very relevant to the story. It makes the imagination go wild wondering what has been said that I am not seeing. This is very intriguing and makes the poem all the more enticing. Super job!

I can relate to your words. I often attempt to read between the lines but not come up with anything. Excellent theme for a poem that many can relate to.

I love it! This could be the winner as you summarized the difficulty of poetry interpretation so humorously and honestly. Sometimes, we do completely come up blank. This is a nice word play, too because between the lines are blank lines! Hope this does well in the contest!!

    Thank you very much, believe it or not, I was trying to write some more prose when BLANK! oh well, as always very much appreciated****kahpot

    Oh, I can understand it happens with prose, too. There is a "purple prose" which uses a lot of poetic devices that could make it hard to understand.

Excellent entry for the 3 Line Poetry Contest .

I like the simple but nice presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Goodluck

Hello Kahpot, LOL. Some things in life will always remain a mystery. Good three-line poem. You made me laugh and gave me something to think about. Of special note: Yet still come up blank. I like the white fonts on the black background--if only life could be as simple as black or white?
It's all the shades in between that make it complicated. Well done. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Yeah, me too. This is an excellent haiku, which vividly expresses what a lot of us feel every day. I have recently spent some time studying this format and your post checks all the boxes. Well done, my friend. - Jamison
