Ciao mystery poet, you now have 10 votes!

I love the idea of painting your life on canvas.

Coloured pictures that capture the joy, the strife and the spice that filled your life.

I like the last statement .. life is a gift and sadly too many waste theirs on drugs, alcohol, gambling, porno, war etc.




The artwork is cool!

This is no easy brief with those prompt words and I liked the way you wove them into a short story about your life which, despite its ups and downs, has been a beautiful one. Your lovely image perfectly complements the verse. Just one small edit: vin(e)gar. Well done and good luck! Debbie

As an order, they enjoyed your presentation here very much. I also enjoyed the wording that you used to describe your life using those four words that were necessary. Have a wonderful day and may God bless you and good luck in the contest. Patricia.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Very nice, upbeat and airy. I liked the rhyming, it felt natural, not strained. The last line added a sweetness, perfect ending. I read all the entries, yours was my favorite. You painted a nice word picture for the picture you chose. That earned the extra star for me.
Good Luck!

You use a neat metaphor by painting your life! You were able to fit those words in naturally and in a way that made sense.

Vinigar should be vinegar

Thanks for sharing!, Julie.
