Your color scheme is good, aligning with the idea of tears. This gets the message across but it's a little clunky. A couple suggestions to smooth it out:

-Crop off the Shutterstock tag on the bottom of the image. You can do this in any image editor, or on a phone. Put that shutterstock notation in your notes instead, where it is less distracting.

-Keep the middle line as one cohesive clause. For example:

she cries in her mother's arms

crying in her mother's arms

she sobs, inconsolable

Hope this helps. If you edit, let me know and I will bump this up a star. Thanks for the read!

You got the syllable count correct for this contest, and your poem was very relatable and heartbreaking. I know how this feels, and you've captured it beautifully. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

It can be hard to put a lot of impact in such a short poem, but you did it! You also have a perfect syllable count for the 5-7-5 writing prompt. The picture fits it too!
