    Hello Jan. Thank you. It did challenge me because of the limited syllable count. :). I like challenges!!

Hi SugarRay,

Your 2 line poem is excellent with a wonderful image of a dreamer inside her daydream! This form isn't easy but you have your internal rhyme and end rhyme placed well within your six syllable allotment per line. Quite a restrictive form that can kill creativity, but you excelled here! Very beautiful and well done. Out of sixes but you would get one here.

You'll do well in the contest :-)

This contest entry is a lovely thought expressed beautifully over two lines and compliant with the doubled rhyming requirements as laid down. I like the juxtaposed words beside and inside.

An adorable picture. i admire that you did double duty with your rhyme--beside and inside and streams and daydreams. It's tricky to achieve and your rhymes are in keeping with the mood of the poem. It is a rare occasion to find such a lovely place to engage in daydreams. Neat idea about living inside daydreams. This is wonderful for a two-liner and best of luck in the contest. judi

    Hello Judi. Thanks so very much. The internal rhyme and end rhymes are a requirement for this prompt and make it quite the challenge. It is fun to have to push and pull words to make it all happen. :)

Love your two line poem and the feeling you create with your words. I like the line "I live inside daydreams", it gives me a good feeling and has a fantasy feel to it. Excellent two line poem.

I can remember being a dreamer when I was young, sitting down under a tree and dreaming of a life that was truly free of anxiety and "immediacy", I liked that little boy! Beautifully written my friend, well done Melissa, good luck, blessings Roy
