This is a good entry for the 5-7-5 contest. All syllables are in check to relay a meaningful message of perseverance, strength in unity and hope. Nicely done on this strong entry.

Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Good luck in the contest. Yours is the best.

A very powerful stand-out winner (in my opinion, though I haven't read the rest!) I really appreciated your skilled and rhyming 5-7-5! The sentiments all the stronger for their succinctness. Thanks for sharing and good luck! Debbie

It is a pity that one leader of Russia wins the Nobel Peace prize and another becomes a despot. I despair for the Russian regime as it has taken a step backwards. Putin will go down in history as a maniac just like Hitler. A poignant write, love Dolly x

Hi there,

This is a good piece. It's very provocative and emotive. It's a good, strong piece which will probably do quite well.

I agree with the sentiments in the author notes, it's much the same way i feel whenever the US interferes in the affairs of others for their own gain.

All the best

This poem is concise and to the point; I love the image and the illustration's eye-catching colors and illuminating. It gave me something to think about. The Ponder one is lovely and understanding.

Excellent form according to the contest rules. As to content, you have expressed well your disdain for Russia's leader who is so typical of avaricious bullies in many countries. Vivid illustration, well chosen.
Best of luck in the contest.
