After a weekend camping I wish I can clear my inbox to a blank page :) Mikey, as always, very well done. Good luck.
Have a great day.
Christelle.

I guess if there are no rules this counts as a poem of free verse. I have no objection to your poem. It is not for us to approve or disapprove. I had to look up gavotte, had not heard that word before. Very good use, Mikey. :>D Miss Sally. good luck.

I just loved the alliteration here. I also loved the way you have, so lyrically, expressed the experience of writing. It's a very good poem and I wish you all the best in the contest. I think it's not a 6 today because it's not my favorite of the poems I've seen of yours, so many of which are so rich with lyrical description. Also, they're often written in very surprising ways. This is still a very good poem and I hope it does well in the contest.

Very good non-poem poem. There are a million things we can write about, which is why poets never stop writing, I think. And when the page is full, your eye or ear will catch something else, and you start a new page. Kind of like life, in a way. My page is nearly full, so I hope I like what I wrote. :)

This work has reached the exceptional level

I love the poem. I would love to fill the page with many answers to the questions about thins beyond the stars. Would we be ready for it? It does not matter. I would be thrilled with my work. There will be a time when someone loves it as much as I do. Great work.

"It matters not, the page is full" was just the rightr remark to use as an ending. I am tired of the confines, rules and "nit-picking." Isn't poetry in it's most glorious state meant to be free?

Hi Michael. This is well away from the type of verse I expect to come from you. However, it has a lightness to it that makes me think you were really having fun, alf

Hi Mikey,

Another good write.
This should do well in the competition.
Sometimes it is enough to just write and leave it at that. What ends up on the page always speaks for itself in my opinion.

This is fine way to write for a contest like this. Simply write about how you filled the page. I loved the central section when you explode with an alliterative fest of celestial images, those that show your imagination is aglow:
it glows and dances in glorious gavottes
as puzzles are posed
riddles revealed
and reasoning resounds
Your ending is brilliant:
then--
a reaction
do you approve?
are you peeved?
it matters not,
the page is full...a great truth of this trade.
Excellent poem. Best of luck.
