My window is filled with hopefulness. It is blocking out the exterior view, thankfully. I walk by faith and not by sight. A fine entry and it looks like the winner to me.
Sending you my best today and best wishes for the upcoming contest, Yvette,

This is a beautiful presentation, YM. Your syllable count is good per line, the image is super, and your message is loud. The colored fonts add to the enjoyment, too. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully with Love, Jan

The long cold winter with its icy grip can dash all hope at times, but not in your world as hope is very much alive through this window, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

The human mind is a fantastic piece of equipment, it is like a computer with incumbent wiring so incredibly and intricately designed to figure out problems and store away swathes of information. Well done, an excellent entry in this contest, good luck, blessings, Roy

Interesting. I had to read it a few times before I got a sense of meaning, but I think that was just me. Suddenly I thought of "lasting etchings" as maybe cuts or scraps that have been made making it hard to see out through that "hopeful window" that I believe to be the heart.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the things we see daily which everyone has their own perspective and perception of what and how they see the object.

That is the truth. Especially when we need to totally come up with some new memories that are good to overcome all the terrible memories from the past. Thanks for sharing this message in a creative way with an excellent combination of color in your writing and the picture.

-Very nice artwork
and presentation.
-The syllable count is good.
-Effective imagery and
use of one continuous thought,
as well as alliteration.
-"Etchings" is a good description
for memories.
-A good concluding line, as well,
that points out they can leave
scars if we let them.
-Good luck in the contest.

This is a particularly evocative 5-7-5 poem. I'm sure most will be able to relate to the heart finger-drawn on the misty window. You've used the duality of meaning of the "hopeful window" to create something that will challenge the more observant reader {thumbs up}.

Best of luck with this when the voting booth opens {smiles}.
