This poem, Manistone, centers the story on Manistone, who created this future world which is specifically made to house and shelter this new mutation of life.

Ciao!

Manistone reminded me of a series I saw and loved about gargoyles who are creature in stone during the day and at night come alive.

I love your tale of Manistone who seeks to free his siblings from the stone cave.

Creative, unique great rhyme.

I thought you did a brilliant job of drawing me into this world with this piece. I love how imaginative this is as well, particularly as there's nothing i can compare it to. An excellent piece, Lea. Good luck in the contest.

Hi, Cecilia.Thank you again! I appreciate you! I have lots of fun making the pictures and the story around it. Almost like an art project in high school or something I kind of feel. Do you know what one ocean said to the other? Nothing they just waived. Haha! Ya...I know. Thanks again, my friend. May You have an amazing date.

This is so cool to learn how these new species came to life. Birthed right from the stone, he emerges free and powerful. Now he helps to free the infanstone from the cave. Such beautiful, striking artwork accompanies your fascinating poems too, Lea.

Jim, i'm completely glad that you're liking these! Great affirmation for a writer as you know. I always happy to see you here. I might be repetitive in some of the things I say, I mean, every one of them. Morse, good stuff coming down the Pike. At least more mutants anyway. Lol thank you again, Jim.Have a great day!

I really love your pictures, Lea, and the poems are a perfect fit. Manistone helps Infanstone to find his way out of the cave. That's what fathers do, help teach their young to branch out on their own when he feels the infant is ready. Another great poem, my friend. Good luck in this contest, :) Sandra xx

Hi, Sandra. Amazing review, as always from you very encouraging. This is a great thing for a writer. As i'm sure you know, I also equal value.Any mistakes that i've made that are brought forward or suggestions for change and open to all that too. It makes for a better rider.Then hear it from the reader in this case yourself. Thank you again, my friends. I hope you're having the best day

I'm super glad you liked it! Thanks for coming and having a read and offering your encouraging comments! Thank you so much. Have a great night!

Still love your characters, as this one tells us a story of man's struggle,
(the way I read it) in a way man has had to become harder and more adaptable, very well written and presented, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Man has always strived for freedom, so it makes sense that Manistone would do the same. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and once again the words you chose were very strong. Good luck with the contest.
