I enjoyed your fascinating introspection in this 5-7-5 poem. The artwork you selected is a neat "statue of perfection." Best wishes in the competition- Joan

Hi Joan! I'm glad you're alive and still on FanStory reviewing.I wasn't sure what to think. I was scared afew days for you.Well, I found the picture first, because it's not emotional writing just creative writing. Thank you. Hugs, Alicia (aka Sunnilicious)

Thanks for thinking about me. Fingers crossed for containment by Monday--still without all services for the long haul...

I appreciate your letting me know that the picture helped to inspire this post. More hugs- Joan

Hi Alicia,

So nice to see something from you again. Using the robin as a symbol of perfection is clever, and you grab your reader with the very first word of your 5-7-5... "stop". Yes, stop and take a good look. Your query in the last line makes your readers take a look at themselves. Nature is truly beautiful. We can't help but to stop and look and wish that we were as perfect.

Best wishes in the contest with this clever entry.

Hugs,
Connie

Hi Connie! I want to exclamation mark, "Stop!". However, people aren't talking that way anymore. Also, because of the sentence structure it's not grammatically correct. You're nice. Thank you. Happy Veteran's Day. Hearts & hugs, Alicia (aka Sunnilicious)

Hi Alicia, that is perfect, deep, and very cute att the same time. I liked the picture, with the comparison of the human kind. Well done. Win it. Terry xoxo

Cute one, Alicia! I love watching birds and this robin does seem to strike the pose of a statue. They also have that confident attitude that really seems to say, "Stop and look at me."

Hi

Excellent little 5'7'5 poem.

Perfect syllable count across all lines and I love the refference with the bird standing still as a garden statue.

Great job

Regards
Tia

How sweet this is. Image does look like a beautiful statue. I love birds. Your poem is well written, makes a statement and asks a question provoking self evaluation. Much luck in the contest with this great entry. Marilyn
