The art you chose works well with the words. You go from the gold to green and then to a fades shade of green. IT is no doubt true that the history of golden past is just what you say, half truths and fiction. The present doesn't sound like it is so great since there is so much indecision. Talk is cheap and promises are often broken. I hate the think that int he future our last green valley is behind us and we're only left with faded glory. If you're taking about our nation that's depressing. You're taking about each of us as individuals, the last verse makes sense as we reach old age. You could be referring to the three stages of our life. I"m not sure. But your poem is thought provoking.

Comment from juliaSjames
Intriguing write.. Philosophical? Spiritual? Political? All of these? I guess it depends on the reader's perspective. Or perhaps it's an ekphrastic poem based on the artwork. All in all, it's clever and well scribed.
Best of luck in the contest, Bill.
Stay safe healthy and blessed

Comment from Earl Corp
I don't know if you intended the green to represent clean renewable energy or not, but that's how the second stanza read to me. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
Another work that shows the depth of your talent. I enjoyed the beginning the past is built from half fact and fiction. It is a true statement of how we embellish our history both from a personal and national level.
But then you give hope that the present has more promise and hope before we fade.
Well done in displaying this in the image going from gold to bright green and then to our faded glory.
Good luck in the contest.
Regards
Mary

Good reflection. Old time verbiage. Good visual imagery created. Good alliterations all working together. You met the syllable count requirements and repeated it into a poetic suite story. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest :)

I enjoyed your contest entry. Your lines read well--I like the color scheme, the art choice, and the smooth flow of words. I believe you are saying that it's u[ to each person to make sense of their life/our interactions with others etc. before it's too late and one is headed for the afterlife based on their beliefs. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Gloria ....
I like how you've organized this. Yes, the green present, really is full of potential. I can honestly say for the first time in my life I wish I was younger to participate in this political renaissance.
But as it happens, we arrive and our eyesight isn't as good as it once was.
Great publishing, great poem, great luck to you. :)

Comment from judiverse
Another great one. You describe the past as half fact and half fiction. This is so true. We have a lot going for us, with lots of options and decisions to make. Then before we know it we reach old age, and we've run out of choices. Beautifully stated. Best of luck in the contest. judi
