Loved, loved, loved this. The mysterious tone wrapped itself around this poem. The words we write can hide truths, spill confessions and ignite passions. Beautifully written, Shelley. Gretchen

It is a very well-written poem, and the picture is very apt. I enjoyed it. If you haven't already, please add to the book "For Kathy" she will be in for a while. Karen

Yes. Totally agree with you. The words can dive deeply into one's psyche. That's why they could be very powerful. I hope your words will move people and make them laugh and cry. I think you often do.

Well done.

Like your poem. The feelings of fingers are sure present in this poem. Writing a poem takes a lot of handwriting or tapping of the keyboard so this is a poem that qualifies for the contest.

This is a very well written ABC poem you have penned for the writing prompt contest. You used very good descriptive words and very neat imagery from the art work you chose. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

I'm not really sure that you comply with the contest rules as I see your post. I doesn't look to me that each line starts with an alphabetical progression. Saying that, I did enjoy the imagery.

Hi
This is a nicely done philosophical poem describing writing and the effects you get from it. You can get a lot more out of a poem if you try to read between the lines to find what is in the shadows.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Happy Holidays.
Joan

I loved this poem. The ABC structure worked well, and didn't make your poem feel forced. The difference between what is written, and what's written between the lines, is always an interesting study. The picture you chose with the black-and-white colouring highlights the stark difference.
