Hello wierdgrace.
I just love your poem. It conveys encouragement and a sense of family in that final line too. This is definitely a lovely upbeat read.
Fondly, Rebecca

I liked the poem. It is hard to say a lot in a few words but I feel that you did it. The picture is good and the verse flows well. I found no editing needed.

That is so beautiful, Grace. The artwork gives the appearance of a bright and colorful quilt and your words are so perfect and so true.

wierdgrace,
your free verse is short and beautifully written. Cool art work of Angelhearts you've used. I enjoyed all of the lines:

Our spirit is like a diamond in the rough.
It is there, hidden, for a while,
waiting to come forth and shine and
send forth its brilliant light.
This is home ties.

I love the philosophy in your free verse. Your poem is an excellent entry in the free verse poetry contest. Good luck. It was a pleasure and a delight to read your free verse.
Melissa.

The picture is unusual. I like the comparison of the spirit to a diamond in the rough. Like the diamond our spirit can be made to shine. Our spirit is who we are.

What a spirit you have. The poem simple, warm and lovely. Your family is composed of diamonds- in interests literature and love. It's good to have good critics. I hope that your treatment will lead to remission. Your portfolio speaks for what you have done. I hope you write as often as you have until your family takes over. Which I hope is a long time off.

This lovely free verse comparing our spirit to a rough diamond, is very well thought out.
Simply said and showing how our spirit can only be seen in little bits at a time.
The more pieces unveiled the more the spirit shines, just like a diamond.
