Hi Glena, I was able to find your poem again. It is a learning curve when using a new site, isn't it? I enjoyed the sentiments of your poem. From a style perspective, I do not think the last word in each line needs to be in capitals. I wonder why you chose that? I agree that sharing and caring would make this world an easier place for us all to live in.

I am afraid your poem is not written in iambic pentameter Glenda as your stresses are in the wrong place, but maybe this is not required for the contest. Good luck with the committee with this one, I enjoyed the sentiments, love Dolly x x. x

    Thank you so much, Dolly, for reviewing and for your kindness. From uploading to going over thoroughly what I've written, with having to enter a university hospital tomorrow, I hope to soon be able to do all of these criteria. I really appreciate your input. I'll try to look at it again if I have a chance before the aforementioned.

"Doing Good" Cliche, though it is, it's always good to be doing good.
Good aabb rhyme scheme to your quatrains.
Indeed, indeed, we should share more with the poor.
Good inspirational poem. Good luck!

Yes I like this poem. Doing Good is a lovely topic and the image and the formatting make it an interesting presentation. Wording is relevant and rhyming. Should do well in the contest. Take care and have a wonderful day.
Cheers

Well done, good luck in the minute contest, the poem men's it has 60 syllables total, this may be disqualified, but try again, well dine, blessings royn
By the way this is not pentameter, it needs ten syllables per line, 8 syllable is tetrameter, four syllables is dimeter. Iambic meter da dum da dum da dum da bum

    Thank you so much for your input and catching that. I will look at it again. Being new and not going over this poem as I should have, entering a hospital university almost two hours from home tomorrow, I hope I can get it all together. You are right. I've just recently begun refreshing myself on these truths. I appreciate your input very much.

A few words to say a lot! Wouldn't it be wonderful if we lived in a world where people loved, liked and shared their lives so that all could live the good life too. Sadly, the message doesn't reach everyone, but then if we keep trying...maybe it will.
Smiles, Carol

Pleas you got it sorted. It was worth the wait. 5 stars. Sorry unable to read this I have zoomed in as far as I can and it is illegible. I never thought I would ever give a one star review because I have always said I would give credit for something. In this case there really is nothing to judge. I will be more than happy to reassess this if and when you are able to get it sorted. I wish you the best of luck.

    Thank you. I didn't upload it correctly
reply by Mark Jackson on 11-Apr-2024
    Let me know when you have been able to correct it and I will happily read and re-score. You might just have to type it in.
reply by the author on 11-Apr-2024
    Thank you, thank you for rereading and correcting. I have reloaded it but somehow the little version is on the bottom. However, the poem and my art are on white paper and in a more correct format.
reply by Mark Jackson on 11-Apr-2024
    I don't think it matters about.the small version on the bottom. It is clear and readable now.

    Thanks so much again. I was able to upload but need to check it to be sure what the criteria was. I really appreciate you reading and re-scoring.

Hi Glena, I actually can't read your poem. I use the magnify option and it blurs out. I thought maybe the graphics option was intentional, but I could not view your contents. Do you think you can adjust this? Thank you so much.

    I am going to try to reload it. Sorry but thanks.

    Thank you so much, writer friend Dimdale1. I have reloaded- and you can now read it. I am sorry the smaller version is on the bottom. I hope to get the format right soon. When I pasted it in that box, it indicated that I was in view mode only. Thanks so much for your help. Except for one poem I already have with a copy of my oil painting on it, I'll try to pick up art from FAR, including mine.
