Hi Art, your 20 syllable poem is beautiful with good use of alliteration in 'Splashes of succulents'. Good 'S' sound throughout. Your brother's painting is gorgeous and it suits your words so well. Lovely overall display. Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

I really enjoyed you twenty syllable poem. It has a nice summery feel and your word choice gave a nice warm color, yet the ending word "Divine" seamed to me a little off rhythm. Very nice piece.

Explore the path that is off the beaten trail! One never knows what you might find when you go that route. It reminds me that we all need to take the time and find those hidden treasures.

Your brother should be proud. You stuck to the 20-syllable limit while creating your own beautiful picture with your words, fully complementing your brother's artwork. Good luck in the contest.

    My sister can do amazing things with pen and ink, so I can fully relate to your being proud of your sibling's artistic prowess. You chose a lovely way to show it.

Sometimes the road less traveled is the way to go because it's hidden away and peaceful. Sometimes it's the hiddenness that makes it that much more special. I saw a post and it was conversation about why they took the road less traveled when they knew it'd be harder. The response was that they didn't see a second, easier road, sometimes we're just meant to find those things.

In my opinion, a gorgeous poem and a gorgeous painting - so reminiscent of my father's paintings - wish I could give you Ten Stars for this short and memorable poem - one written for the ages...

Awesome description of your brother's art. Your artistic poetry meshes well with the art itself. Outstanding. I feel like the picture came to life. It brought many feelings of warmth and pleasure when I read it. : )
