I enjoyed reading your poem, Mystery Author. Your did a good job remastering the original. Your lines flow smoothly. Your message is loud and clear, too. Your work shows much thought and is a great definition of fear. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes. Jan

Thank you! I'm definitely not classic, but this was a fun stretch.
I appreciate your time and your kind words :)

This is one of my favorite Emily Dickinson poems, too, Mystery Writer, and you did a super fine job with your rendition of it. Good luck in the contest. But whether you win or not, this poem of yours is great. xo

I like how you changed this up and created something different. Your artwork is spot on. I thought we could not use artwork for this contest? Very nice with the poem and good luck.

Oops! I don't know how that works-when I hit enter the contest, the form required artwork.
Is the Committee supposed to reject it ?
I'm generally a rule-follower (annoyingly so)

lol looks like you were good to go. I had artwork on mine and someone called me out on it and I got rid of it. Now that the contest is over I am going to add it back in.

You have done a superb job "remastering" the Dickinson poem.
I think the poem is realistic, in that even those with deep faith can,
at times, lose their hope. This prompt looks very challenging to me!

Thank you! I appreciate your time and your comments.
It was a fun challenge - going from light to dark is not my normal mode, but that's what came out :)

Hello Anon
This is a wonderful reworking. To attempt the opposite using the same skeleton, almost, is a sharp and well thought-out achievement.
The weight of your final line is immense.
This is a very creative piece and I wish you well in a very well-contested contest. The results are not that important - the quality of the entries has been tremendous so far, with your work included in that statement.
I wish you well
cheers

Thank you so much for those encouraging words. My heart appreciates them:)
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about fear that we have make our hope useless because it had the opposite effect and leave us with fear and doubt. While hope gives us something to look toward.

Comment from Miss Sherry
This is a very unique remastering of Emily's lovely poem. Your artwork is eerie, those tentacles are weird. You have a very good job here. I wish you the very best of luck in the competition.

It works!
Comment from royowen
I like the way you've done this, that hope is the opposite of fear. And hope, of course is married to faith, which is the root of love, without it, our civilisation will crumble and die, beautifully written, although Emily Dickenson wrote in classic ballad style of 8686 quatrains and abcb rhyming, but well done, yours was a great job, in mixed rhyme and meter, good luck, blessings, Roy

I liked your version which is the exact opposite and it is cleverly written with the feathers weighted with water, very inventive, I wish you luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Comment from Scarbrems
Interesting. I like the way you've kind of given us a dark reflection of the original, changing the whole tone. 'The frozen dove of peace can not be warm' - that's a chilling line. You've turned a positive piece into a negative one, which is an impressive feat. Good luck in the contest.
