Hi, Michael;
Thank you for sharing your free verse poem in response to the 'Pix This Challenge Group.' I enjoyed the thoughts of an outcast witch and realized this could apply to many people,

You always come up with something smart and unusual, Michael.
In this poem you cleverly portray that vulnerable part of all of us that remains a child, who yearns for attention and recognition, hates being ignored (would rather be kicked than treated like thin air!).

I could easily relate to this piece, Michael.

Excellent.

I was delighted to see this poem, Mike, it means you are in the PTC group. I love it. Your poem is very deep, my friend, I honestly don't think you'd have trouble fitting in anywhere, you have that sort of boyish charm about you! :)) I did like the way you expressed your thoughts though, it made so much sense to me, and probably to many others in the message it sent. I enjoyed it loads. :) Sandra xx

This is why I LOVE your writing. How could this picture make you think up anything but Halloween? But then, you come up with something so touching and different. I forget how unique you are, Michael. They broke the mold. Lovely. NG

Michael,

In your typical, clever and unique way, you give voice to that still small child in all of us that says we may not be good enough, may not wear the right things, may not look or act the same -- we may not be accepted. Lovely piece I think we can all relate to. Favorite lines:

if I don't fit in
where I feel I
fit in
then how will I fit
anywhere

Thanks!

A very well-written ekphrastic free verse poem and an excellent interpretation of the picture this challenge artwork. We often feel we do not belong, and we don't come to our potential, the only option is to spread our wings and find another place where we may belong.

hello Michael. Does it matter if no one agrees or disagrees with you or what you write. Does it even matter if their words are different than yours, or if theirs are closer to what they were thinking, vs. what you are thinking? I don't know Michael, but this reader likes what she reads here! Well done. xoxo Kiwi
