Oh, wonderful artwork indeed, and the romance is captured by your well-chosen words as well. It was refreshing to see this contest, and you've created a beautifully sentimental poem for it.

You have made effective use of all syllables in this 7-9-7 that
movingly and accurately pinpoints the theme of the work--that only the
kiss of true love, which was foretold, could preserve life.

A very well-written 7-9-7 poem about sleeping beauty, that is our beauty sleeping within us, waiting for the perfect right person to awake us with the way we need to be awaken.

I like the poem, although it seems to differ from the original story, since it was true love's kiss that was to wake her up, not just a kiss from any person with a kind and honest heart. Also, the contest prompt says that the poem should be in the character's point of view, whereas you seem just to have written a poem about Sleeping Beauty.

    Thank you very much, I understand what you say and have altered some, but isn't pure honesty -true?
reply by samantha0930 on 26-Jan-2019
    Not necessarily--someone may be an honest person, but that doesn't mean that they love you.
reply by the author on 26-Jan-2019
    Then that is not pure honesty,? as my words state
reply by the author on 26-Jan-2019
    as your reply says it was true love that woke her not just pure or honest?

A clever rhyming 7-9-7, and I personally enjoy these short writes when they rhyme. Few words great meaning. The fairytale brought to life with a kiss, love Dolly x

Nicely done 7-9-7 poem which rhymes throughout and has alliteration in each line. I especially liked the second line - "requires honest lips." But in that picture, Sleeping Beauty doesn't look really impressed. lol.

This is a good job of telling as much as you could of the Sleeping Beauty story in just twenty-three syllables. Your description is vivid, and your well-chosen words are emotional and powerful.
