I enjoyed your contest entry poem. I like the way you formatted your lines. Your words are well-chosen and make a great statement. I agree with your words, too. We should look past what we see on the outside and find a writer's soul.
Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Hello, my friend,

Nice entry for the 34 Syllables writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines that flow nicely. Good presentation

I like Japanese poetry because you have to say what you want to say in a few words.

Well done!

The author's words are engaging, descriptive, clear and creative. I identified well with the word of this poem. Writing helps the reader
display what I want to say. The poem flows and connects well. There
is a great message in these words. Have a great day!

A very well-written thirty four syllable poem about saying something effectively in a few words are a real talent. Many people believe more words have more impact but I think many words are lost and gave no real impact.

The reader, if they are writers will identify. We struggle with the right words and in some of these contests, we have to measure the nimber of words to fit the rules and yet to be able to make sense and say what we need to say. This is well done.

Sometimes it is hard to say all that you need to say. It is true that there is not enough space to speak the truth that you need to get out.
The second stanza confuses me a tad. I see that when you see the words you should read them I just didn't get the "fitting form"

    It?s more a WRITE than READ assertion. Some need a ?Leaves of Grass? platform and others get it all in a haiku.

First I was confused with your authors opening comment "a 34 word poem" as it is only 31. But you followed the criteria for the contest. Best of luck with your entry. Those that are poets never lay a pen down unless they're done. Best regards.

    Funny story. I wrote a 34-word poem and then saw it was a syllable count, not word. The other poem I posted under no restrictions.

I am a big believer in people having their say and letting others decide what they think, this is what we do as poets and the mechanics of it all are cleverly explained here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Yes, this fits the 34 Syllables writing prompt and states the obvious for many of us who just simply want to go on and on when they get started writing as their thoughts and ideas plug in the form of context of which they are trying to achieve. Buona Fortuna in the contest. giovanni
