Comment from Earl Corp

Excellent

I've seen cactuses bloom and I agree with your description of it. You picked a very beautiful picture to accompany your poem. Very nice job. Merry Christmas my friend.

Good

A write that really gets into some strange - shall we say - lingo. I don't think the cowboy thing is as effective as your standard writ ing technique....

Excellent

This is a very detailed and eloquent poem you have written with vivid imagery and the theme of a cactus that did not bloom until later. You matched it with a great photograph that was perfect. Thanks for sharing this with us and have a Merry Christmas.

Comment from Jim Hirtle

Needs Improvement

The added commentary is obtrusive and takes away from what I thought could be a good story about a hapless cactus. Very difficult to follow. Hard to "pay attention".
