This work has reached the exceptional level

This is confronting and raw, uncensored and evocative. I like it a lot! This is a very well executed 6 word poem and a strong entry for the contest. Well done! Keep writing and keep safe. Ignatius A

A very well-written six-word poem about how long it take to jump from the golden gate bridge until you hit the water. Once you jumped there's no turning back either.

Well done on a very well written, concise little poem. Sometimes a poem does not need to be the length of a short novel to get across the point it is trying to convey. This does so brilliantly in three short sentences. Keep writing.

You have made excellent use of your powerful six words, the artwork, and the notes to convey a gripping, sad fact about those who give up on life and deliberately take that last step.

Hello Chip,
This is an excellent six word poem for the contest
written in the form of a senryu or haiku.
The gravity of the situation is well expressed
with the double meaning of gravity.
The rhymes adds to the poem since it isn't strictly a haiku.
Excellent choice of photograph.
I'm not sure how many would get the connection
without the explanation.
This poem could do well in the contest.
Best wishes.
Robert

Informative as well. Your 6 words poetry, frightening and true, when crossing a bridge. How quick you think what if, like a friend communication begins. We meet again. Hope I will see you again.

How did you find that out? I am sure those who have jumped, had plenty of time to wish they hadn't in that four seconds. No turning back. Well done, this was a really excellent six word poem, and gives us much food to think about it. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Sometimes I have pondered the idea of this write and how it would be without gravity on our planet. We can only imagine.
Best wished to you in the contest.

    Gravity isn't just a good idea, it's the law! (stole that bit of silliness from a meme or t-shirt) Thanks, Ben!
