Comment from Evelyn Fort Stewart

Excellent

We never attempt to review on poetic styles as we are not poets and that would only show ignorance on our part. But, we can say this is one of our favorite styles of poetry. We like the feel and flow of the rhythm. Good luck in the contest. god loves you and we do too.

Hi, I like this a lot. It meets requirements. I especially like the first stanza. The poem is well crafted and has well chosen rhyming, and I particularly like the steady, even pace of the piece. Good luck. xxxx nannabot. xxx

I love the picture. I love the poem. You have all the tools ready. Now all you need is the inspiration. An idea pops in the mind and does not get much further. So you have several more to bounce around. Tools are ready. Inspiration is not. You can not do much until inspiration kicks it up. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

You did a wonderful job with this challenge. Atmosphere is full of vivid and delightful descriptions. The theme was good. The flow was very nice. The artwork complemented your poem.

I saw no SPAG and no typos. It was very clean.

Your art is a picture of a pocket protector. I know because I asked my husband and he is a computer geek. It went well with your poem.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Oh, this is a very delightful pantoum - I especially liked the thought of bringing those pens and pencils out of our pockets to play! Wonderful! Best of luck in the contest! :)

The rhyme and rhythm of your verse is smooth and make for enjoyable reading. Now as you say the inspiration is inside you so keep those pens and pencils handy and more out of your pocket that in. Best of luck in the contest.
