kahpot,

This was a beautiful romantic entry in the Sedoka Poem contest, that I believe ought have received a first or at least a second place finish. Both stanzas are well written and capture the theme of this contests where each poem show the same scene from two different perspectives.

All the best,

Eugene

Hi. This contest is very confusing because the writers prompt does not match what you guys are turning out. The writers prompt says it should be 575 but you guys are turning in 577 and the examples are also 577 so somehow even though the writing prompt says 575 you guys all know that it's really 577. If I have time, I'll get in touch with the contest coordinator and see if she can fix that.

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that.

I especially like the part about the evil spider even before I knew it was a metaphor for distance.

I also liked this part

" pon instant return
I'll build our castle of love
raising, drowning emotions"

Did you mean rising?

" pon instant return
I'll build our castle of love
raising, drowning emotions"

I saw no errors

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

This sedoka, Walking Upon Drifting Sands, has the proper formatting and uses the metaphor of the ocean and sands to speak to the wide separation and unmaneuverability of the situation.

That's lovely, and we might have a winner here. The turn-around in this one is stronger than in some of the others I've read, and the picture you chose is most fitting.

Nicely written Sedoka, I like the metaphoric expressions describing those poetic seasons of love's outgoing ness means that one can the seasons in an emotion, well done, good luck blessings, Roy
Typo : you (abscence) finds me. Absence?
