Very interesting. . .I'm not sure what midst life's pain refers to and I don't see any notes. What have I missed here? You did great in the contest but like some say. . .no nickels? Or, something like that. :)

    Not really into interpreting my own poetry as I leave that mostly up to the reader, MoonGirl, but, when written, 'midst life's pain' referred to the context of others betraying our trust... :) ;) Thank you for stopping by -- always enjoy our interactions, ma'am! :) You take care! :) Yvette

    I enjoy our chats too Evette. I think that was my thinking but wasn't totally sure. There are always those who betray. . . it's just their nature. *~*

Wow! I guess this was an anonymous contest so I didn't get notified of this. Great words, Yvette. In life relationships of fallen humanity, "Bold Trust" is precious! Congratulations on placing in the contest!!

    Thanx, Professor -- and, yeah, it was one of those 'author's name will not be displayed' contests.... I'm finally taking some time to get back into some sort of normalcy - get the 'baby' (all 6 feet plus of him!) graduated this coming weekend and summer can actually start! :) ;) Thanx for taking the time to review this one and have a great upcoming week! :) Yvette :)

Seeing that I feel I have 'trust' issues, I can certainly appreciate this perfect 2-4-6 rhyming poem. I really love how you described trust as 'gold dust midst life's pain and fraud's rust'. Exquisite and full of truth.
This is an excellent contest entry, and I do wish you the very best :)

This poem speaks a good message of value, when trust is bold, trust keeper gets a gleam in life's pain; well said, well done. Write to inspire, change -- DR ALCREATOR

As always I am in awe of those who can tell a perfectly legible story with so few words. I really liked the imagery and thoroughly enjoyed your poem. Good luck in the contest. PM

Glitter can mask the trust, but it makes us happy even if just for a few moments. Well thought out. Clearly written. Creative with wisdom. Great verbiage. Good luck in the contest :)

Love the picture with the words! Very appropriate! The words emphasize both the beauty of true/truth as well as emphasize the destroying nature of rust, fraud and lies. Well said! Good job. I like it a lot!

Trust is one of those sought after emotions that we tentatively consider and once there is a bond of trust then you have truly found gold, best wishes, love Dolly x
