Don't be so hard on yourself. Staying optimistic and smiling is important as we age. Otherwise, wrinkles will overtake your face. Just joking around. Good message in a short poem. Strong visual imagery. Creative. Good luck in the contest :)

Welcome back--I have missed your work and was delighted to see your name pop up on my screen while I am traveling in Columbia. I like the Cinquain form and admired the emotions you captured in this poem starting with the title and evocative artwork. I hope your poem takes on a persona and is not biographical. Sighs- Joan

This sounds like a very sad and lonely life. The artwork looks like an old American Indian chief lamenting life before the white man came and sent his tribe to the reservation which is also mirrored in the words

Good luck in the contest.

Keep writing

A good Cinquain poem for the contest.
So much said in so few short words, not easy to do.
Well done.
And the picture is beautiful.
Good luck to you with the competition.
Sharon
