Comment from Lucy de Welles
This is a real Wow! How do you think of interesting stuff like this. Each line of this acrostic is beautifully composed. Nostalgia, sentiment. Vivid colors. Green text on black is striking. Art work matches the scattered bits.
Nothing to improve here.
A real gem!

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This vividly descriptive series of rapid-fire images is colorful and widely-varied. I'm so glad I read the notes before I wracked my poor feeble brain looking for a profound life lesson! LOL!

Comment from Bill Schott
This acrostic poem, HERE AND THERE AND EVERYWHERE, follows the vertical letter theme and covers about neverthing. Remember, tell them a hooka-smokin' caterpillar has given you the call.

Comment from Susan Larson
Yes, this is certainly a collection of random ramblings, and I probably needed that just now. Today the kids and their friends came for my husband's birthday. The 2 year old $45,000 boat wouldn't start. He bought a new battery, which started, then left them stranded on an island. Our neighbors (who have the exact same boat purchased a week after ours) went to rescue them. My husband cut his leg on a piece of metal and his calf swelled up like a balloon. He was in so much pain I took him to the emergency room at 4 PM. It's 6:31 and he's still waiting for an ultrasound. But no eraser crumbles on the floor. Just bits of cereal and an entire box of Kleenex the 18 month old strew all over the den. Think I can get a poem out of this?

Comment from Bichon
You did a great job with this poem, Yvette! While it had different topics, I really liked how they all flowed together in harmony. Sometimes things need to be a little crazy!

Comment from suep
This was a very fun and enjoyable read! I absolutely love how you refer to dust bunnies as 'Nifty nests of nothingness'! Interesting subject and you do a great job with these fun ramblings and tidbits. Just the right amount of rhyming sprinkled in and beautiful presentation with excellent artwork choice. Nice work ... Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Patty Palmer
Agreed! I paid no attention to what was said in your poem. It was totally without plot or story. I just read it because it was there! Good luck with the contest. I agree that every line started with the right letter.

Comment from estory
Nice job fitting into the acrostic in this kalaidascope of jumbling tumbling images. Very colorful, and nice echoing effects in the rhyme scheme too. The images pull the mind into all kinds of directions in this surreal fantasy piece. A poem of possibilities estory

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Well, it was fun to read because it was well-written regardless of the 'theme.' I enjoyed the presentation--the image, the use of alliteration, the touches of rhyme. Sometimes it is great to be able to enjoy something without having to analyze it and/or think to deeply. This was for fun. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan
