Hi Diane,
Nice rictameter. It takes a special person to close those doors while forgiving and listening to those echoes. Your poem flows well with a clear meaning. Good luck in the contest and God bless and best wishes!

You have a good contest contender with this rictameter poem, Mrs. KT. "Echoes" is the perfect opening and closing. This one really gives the old heartstrings a tug. It is already polished. Good luck in this contest.

Mrs. KT, I like it. I'm having trouble forgiving my late husband for his many cruelties, and trying to zero in on the good memories. I'm glad you can close the door on sadness. I think I can, also, with time. Very nice. pat

Am so pleased you enjoyed my offering. Some doors are easier to close than others! diane
Comment from behindthesmile86
Excellent poem, very inspiring to all those who have closed the door on love. It's as if the echos are memories from a past love. Expressing the though that the most powerful relationships are memorable... leaving you with a permanent imprint; marking a moment in time that will be erased. When these moments are no longer insight, you'll carry the memory of them always.

Comment from Jack Burbank
I couldn't even figure out what a rictameter 2-4-6-8-10- ya-da-ya-da-ya-da was until I read your poem and saw the symetry of it. Very nicely done, clever transitions and it all made sense. Even touching, I would dare say. But I'll stick to mysteries as they're a lot simpler. JB

Comment from Nescher Pyscher
As I told another entrant in this contest, I'm not at ALL fond of the form. It seems to me to be a pointless exercise in syllable counting, leading far too often to poems made of and about Twinkie filling.
Nevertheless, you played by the rules. Good luck in the contest!

Well, Nesch, Twinkies have a long shelf life; in fact, some folks consider them to be a one of the main food groups.
As a wrter who tends to be more than a little verbose at times, structured formats challenge me to convey emotive thoughts, imagery, etc. using a paucity of words while exploring the varied technical nuances of our language.
Afterwards, I usually celebrate with a fine glass of chardonnay. Don't believe I've ever explored the finer nuances of Twinkies...but perhaps I have and didn't realze it.
Bottom line: subjective emotive response takes precedence over form any day.

Hello Mrs. KT,
I thoroughly enjoyed your nice nostalgic well written rictameter which is filled with charming thoughts. "Echoes" was a great first and last word.
Thanks for sharing this lovely poem. Best wishes and hugs to you,

Good entry into this contest. The subject is also very good. When love is lost and all you can remember is the good times that still echo in the walls.
