This 1-10-1, Glimpse of the Day, has the right set up and blows the right words our way to open us up for a sweet springtime experience.

I enjoyed your poetic use of homonyms in this 1-10-1 form, along with your use of alliteration and the parallel photograph. Best wishes in the competition and be well- Joan

They captured my attention from the start making me think soon we will be able to enjoy the freedom we have missed.
Thank you for sharing

I
no longer possess a perceptive, keen,
eye.

Would this qualify for this contest, Yvette?

Hi there Dear Friend and Teacher, Are classes out yet, or can I ask a question or two please? My hand is up, and awaiting your attention! Lol.

I have no idea how one enters such contests as this, or others, Does 'reserving' a spot, automatically post your poem in that contest, or is there another area I have yet to find? One other query: how does one 'vote' for a particular posting? Sorry if I seem dumb Yvette but I find it very tricky to find my way in and around this site. I am thinking it might be best to move on. My vision is getting worse, I fear, and the 'experts' tell me to expect even worse. That is something I doubt I can handle. Sorry if I seem a little 'down' this morning, but yesterday was a hard working in the garden day, and my deteriorating vision, was brought home to me very strongly! I am thankful I laid out my many paths - two persons wide - but there's a ton of cleaning up to do now Spring seems to be coming back - fast! Sorry. I didn't mean to sound depressed, but life is losing much of what I have taken for granted for so many years, and my dear wife needs my help more now, than ever. Hope you're keeping safe out of harm's way? fondest regards Denis.

That poem came out wonderfully. Nice accompanying picture. Also, the form is rather odd. You made it work. Great alliteration and play on the words blue-blew. Good s-word alliteration too. Nice work. Good luck in the contest :)

This is a refreshing little poem. I especially with the cirrostratus cloud formation showing in the breezy photograph. Color schemes always catch my eye when they're synchronized with the message. Best wishes in the contest, my friend!

Oh, you make me want to go outside and enjoy the sunshine and blue skies. Yesterday it was all gray and threatening rain. Nice play on words and excellent alliteration.

    I'm not sure if it's a blind contest or not. You join a lot of contests so sometimes I just pop into your site to see if I missed anything recently.

Homonyms are such fun to work with. There are so many of them.
You chose blue and blew and created a very good1-10-1. poem. Very well done. Good image.

I like your homonym poem and the presentation. That blue really pops out. As far as I could see it was perfectly done. Great job and good luck in the contest. Shirley
