What a beautiful photo and one line poem. Yes, it is a warming sight to see. I wonder, is this an ekphrastic poem, or did you find the photo, after you wrote the poem? Either way, it is well done and very heartwarming. Thanks for sharing this lovely family scene.
Take care, Jesse

Hi Jesse, most of my poems are ekphrastic. I look for pictures to accompany my poems, but collect others I like ?just in case? I can use them. I love nature, because animals treat their young better than humans do. This picture took me back to my birth family?s habit of eating together. Eating time is supposed to be a reaxing time. Not full of arguments and
abuse . Thanks so much for your complimentary review
Hugs, Trisha

Hi Trisha
Collecting pictures you like, for future use, is a great idea! I agree with you--animals nearly always treat their young, better than humans do. My family had the same habit of eating meals together. We ate and talked, and I usually learned something in the process. Fortunately, that is one of my fond memories of my family. I am glad you liked my review. I was really impressed with your piece.

Thanks for your supportive comments. That system of picture collecting work to take last minute stress off me!
Have a self-positive week Jesse

My weekend was very stressful yet, positive for me. Collecting pictures sounds like a great way to relieve stress, as well as last-minute stress.
Enjoy your week, as well.

Also expressing how events affect you (in a private journal) is cathartic Hope everyday brings a new positive of self

Yes, I journal several times a day, on average. It listens with an open mind and doesn't judge me. It is very cathartic. Thanks. And, I hope the same for you.

Lovely picture and lovely sentiment, it is a very warming sight to see. As a one-line poem, it reminds me of the hikers Style so is easy to read, and conveys a very enjoyable message.
Blessings,
Brother Badger

Great job writing a one line poem. You picked the perfect picture to illustrate it also. Keep on with your writing! I like the use of the word "warming. "

Comment from Debbie Pope
I really like this. You may have a winner here. It made me smile big time--hence its got the humor element that the monostitch rules recommend. What a charming photo to work with. I like the colors that you use to emphasize it.
Since I think that this is good and $100 is at stake, I will offer one suggestion. I would change the title. The description of the One Line Poem says "The title often plays an important part in the poem since the poem itself is so short." Since your poem uses the words A Warming Sight, I think that you are missing a bet by not adding a stronger title. I have no idea what. Something like FAMILY TIME or BONDING TIME. I don't know what I like. I often use words from the poem as my title, but why not use extra syllables to your benefit here.
Good luck in the contest, Trisha.

Thanks friend, but I would not be true to myself if I won with someone else?s winning suggestion . I only enter for the contest subject.. I really don?t care about the $. Your enjoyment of the line is what counts to me as a poet
Hugs, Trisha

You will probably win with it just the way it is. I spend way too much time with the presentation.

Hi meeshu! I am honored by your kind review. The picture reminded me just how far away from family meals we have come. It?s a shame!

its a disappearing communication bonding habit. I agree that it could be any family, but I liked this depiction of the idea in nature. Thanks for your kind review.
