Form? From? Typo? At any rate a concise free verse that goes perfectly with the pix this artwork, which mystified me for a spell, trying to form a poem around it. Excellent post.

A very well-written poem about the pix this challenge's picture and a very good interpretation of the physical picture the tears form rivers and the bridge helps us to get across.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your entry for the Pix This challenge. Your words are so defined, yet they are nebulous, too.

I enjoyed the poem and the images it conjured, as well as the way it went with the picture chosen for the challenge.

Your poem is very sad, but also very beautiful.
Just one thing: in the second line where your wrote form, I think you meant from.
Thanks for sharing.
