I just liked the picture used here so much. And the poem was lovely too. But what hail? I never made that connection before, but then maybe it's just me

Poet,
your essence is excellently penned. The black and white old time photo is perfect. But this isn't an essence poem. An essence is The Essence, created by Emily Romano is a short, structured form of two-lines, six syllables each with an end rhyme and internal rhyme. I found not internal or end rhyme, but your poem is excellent despite that fact so I'll go ahead and give you five stars reluctantly because in a contest we all should adhere to the requirements. Two the first line has 8 syllables and your second line has 6 syllables. Might I suggest the following:

Like blue birds love soars high
You sweet words make me sigh."

The internal rhyme is birds - words and external is high sigh." That's an essence poem. Continued success in future writing endeavors.
Missy.

Sorry, but I don't think you met the criteria of the prompt. In judging your piece, I do like the picture of the young children, but I am lost in your poesy. I am not certain what you meant???

This was supposed to be an Essence poem. My guess is that you didn't read the rules. I think it would make a good Free Verse.

Sorry to do this but your syllable count is out by far in the first line. you have nine and it should be six.
The second line you have six syllables but no internal rhyme.
If you edit and correct it I shall re-review it. Let my know in your answer after it complies with the requirement
