GregoryCody--Pious preface, personal title, awesome artwork
and biographical author notes complement scribe's succinct
write. IMHO, this is what the Omnipotent intended for this
rib taken from Adam. Good luck in the contest. teafor2

Mmmmm, very nice write, GregoryCody. I love the last line .... we swam to the sun. It's beautiful.

Yes, she was sent to you for that very reason .... to help you swim to the sun. :) May you both always be in the sun!

I hope so! Yes she definitely was. I thank God for that everyday. You're the best, thank you Connie. Really. I didn't mean to make you read that, it just lost to a joking piece. Oh well. But thank you!

Hi, honey. Even in a 5-7-5 you move me like no other! Always, I feel your heart. How are you? Much to my regret, I've only had time lately to jump on for a few minutes and then jet, but you stay close in my thoughts. Those notes were just the sweetest! You are always so real and open when you write, and it is the most beautiful thing. Your poem was so vivid and you told an amazing story there of love and salvation in so few words. It is so deserving of my six and IMHO should have won this one. I'm so glad you have her. Keep her close. I know you will. I hope you are doing well. Please do keep in touch when you can. Hugs and blessings. M

Thank you so much. You wouldn't believe what won. Seriously. Just above mine. Check out the voting booth under Love 5-7-5. So frustrating. Hey what is your email address btw. You can always PM me it. Truly thank you for everything. I'm on day 12 of going off that medicine. Today was the worst so far for some reason. I'm getting there. Just hard. Today was really sad for me. I just gotta remember its these damn chemicals getting out of me. Ill get better. Thank you...

I did check out the booth, and the poem wasn't very original, wouldn't have won I don't think without the pic. Humor is often tough to beat in the prompts. Sometimes that's ok, but I don't care for it when great poems from the heart lose to them. Yours was beautiful!

Congrats on twelve free days, honey! You are doing it! I'm so proud of you! Hang in there! xx

Very nice 5-7-5. It has a great message that I find rewarding. Your author notes help to assure the message into reality. Best wishes.

Great illustration, this beautiful image fits so many expressions, a good fit for the poem, there's a nice rhythm in those first two lines, and the last line ends it well, nice read, good luck.

Elusive imagery that just swims in surrealism. Love the last line: "we swam to the sun" Very creative. Good luck with the contest. Best regards, Les

That's beautiful. Everyone loves to think that there's a special someone out there who'll find them and extend their hand of love and hope. It's also a poem of togetherness. Through life's adversities, you can reach out to the one who will walk with you towards that sunshine, the light at the end of the tunnel. Excellent poem.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it ;) this is a true story, I truly believe God sent her to me, to find me. I was in a scary place. She's given me a new life. I thank God for her everyday. Thank you again!

reply by S A Bullen on 16-Oct-2013

I believe he sent her to you too. I'm waiting for him to send me that special one. It will come, I believe.... Good luck Greg. Have a happy day. Actually, shouldn't you be in bed? It's breakie time here :-)

reply by the author on 16-Oct-2013

Its 2:03 pm.:) could you tell it was me bc you know my story in my reply? Hopefully you didn't put it together before. I think my notes are actually pretty generic.

reply by S A Bullen on 16-Oct-2013

No, I wouldn't have known that was your poem necessarily, but now that I know a few of you quite well, when I read your poetry, it is just so special coz I can feel your heart, I know where your mind is. You do get to know the style of your favourites. That's why they're your favourites; it touches you, it resonates. I love that.

In but seventeen syllables you
have penned an artistic and
moving song of love that meshes
perfectly with the art work you
have chosen.
Well done and good luck
