We open up our hearts in our poetry and tell tales of sadness and of happiness and memories and many identify with our words. We hope to ruffle feathers and make others think, there's a lot of truth in your words, love Dolly x

You did a wonderful job with the challenge that was presented to you. The flow was smooth. Well chosen words are excellent. The theme is strong. Your feelings are expressed well. Your arrangement looks very nice.

There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Yes, all of what you've written here is very true, Anonymous Poet. However, that's only if you have something to hide, and let's face it, we all have a skeleton or two in our closets.
Those who claim they do not are either lying or they're fooling themselves.

    It is true, Getting rid of the skeletons is what revives us. Plus others often have similar skeletons in their own closets just waiting to get out. Thank you as always.

Absolutely true. And we don't tell our stories, for fear of ...shame? Yet, when we do, we discover that others share the same story, and others still, can top it. Because we are all human. Loved this, blessings...

Certainly this author had put forth a work of exceptionally deep thought and consideration. I always appreciate when a writer reaches deeply into their thoughts, their reflections on life that motivate expression that may bring light to others who may not think so deeply. I enjoyed this and thank the author for a very thoughtful work, and I'm sorry to not have the sixth star I believe this work deserves! HIS GRAYNESS: Vance

    wow, what an honor you have given me. I don't care that you had no six, to tell me you want a six is all I need to continue writing. Life is so interesting and I have made many mistakes but I have also touched the world in positive ways. Thank you for your understanding.

Your piece is quite engaging and relative to me as the reader. Being the middle kid in my family, I take to heart the lesson of control and insight to truth being expressed here. Sometimes, I, too, wonder if I should break the truth that would damage my family's fairy tale. Regardless, we are the captain of our vessel in this journey of life. Thank you for a lovely and unique treat!

What a striking color presentation you have here, laced with your words of wisdom! Absolutely amazing.

I particularly liked these parts:

The mirror is shattered
The fairy tale destroyed
Happily ever after
A myth that you were told

Replaced by tragic endings
Annihilated dreams

Pauses in the memory
Long forgotten schemes

A very striking work. Should do extremely well in the contest.

    Thank you so much, Facing yourself makes you become so much better. Fairy tales are just that, fairy tales, real life is much deeper, confusing at times and the biggest words in love are acceptance and forgiveness, but never denial and surrender.

You've written a great poem.
It encourages the reader to open up about deep, dark secrets (if there are any). Speak them and then speak life. Release what is holding one down or what one is holding on to.
I especially like these lines: 'The mirror is shattered
The fairy tale destroyed'- This tells the reader that one has been living in a fantasy instead of reality.
The image shown captures the meaning of this poem. The color of font goes well with the background.
Best of luck to you in the contest.
Thanks for sharing your version of Truth and Honesty.
Good luck with your future writing.

excellent-very powerful and dangerous observations. Treading lightly or put it all out there? An original and compelling poem for this contest. Great job.

    Thank you so much. I have a tendency to tell the world how I feel. I tried to stop once thinking I was too open about life and then I decided I am just me,/When we tell our stories people learn to tell theirs. What a gift writing is and the friendships I have developed with people like you who always tell me the truth.
