Comment from BeasPeas
Your Constanza poem combined with the wording of it and the charming artwork demand a sixer. I enjoyed this so much. Your directions for composing the Constanza are clear. Maybe I will try one. Great job. Marilyn

This meets the Club Challenge splendidly as you deliver a technically sound Constanza Poem. The content is clever and will resonate with many here, but I hope you are just kidding about the quitting part because your words are an important part of the sharing here. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

Hi Monica Thanks very much and your words are encouraging and no I will not leave as I really enjoy this site and many friendships made But at times I feel a little disheartened with my writing and sometimes feel no matter how hard I try can never be good enough but will always keep writing and enjoy the challenges offered Cheer and hugs Chrisx
Comment from Pearl Edwards
Sometimes I wonder why I write - I think most of us start writing because it helps us, and if others read our words then that's a plus.
Your first lines read well as a stand alone poem Chrissy as does the whole of the Constanza poem. I'm sure you will push on through this phase, and look forward to reading more Potlatch challenges.
cheers,
valda

Comment from David R. Davis
Thank you for your words, thoughts and sharing. I hope you don't stop writing. I believe (no, I know) everyone has a story to tell and the story needs telling. I appreciate your questions. There are times it seems I have far more questions than answers. Well done. Go well.

Hi David Thanks for your review for Pen Down I was having a moment of doubt but back on deck now and yes everyone has their story Many Cheers Christine
Comment from Bill Schott
This constanza poem, Pens Down, has the proper format and witnesses the writer's contemplation of why and how much one's soul must bleed out onto the page.

Comment from June Sargent
Well, we can't help where our muse might lead us - she can be very persistent and hard to ignore! One never really knows why we write - we just feel the urge. So, pick up the pen and go with the flow. And when the hand cramps up, put it down... I enjoyed this piece for the Constanza challenge.

Comment from Patty Palmer
Wow! I'm impressed! A poem written with a second poem hiding with the first lines. And they even rhyme! You did a great job! Good luck with the contest you entered this in. Have a great day!

I love poems about the art of writing and this one is no exception. Your phrases are well penned. You also chose an effective background color and image to complement this piece.

Comment from Gail Denham
Very interesting form - nice. But I sincerely hope you don't mean what the poem says "put down my pen and never write again" - I don't think any of us can really??

Hi Gail Thanks for your review and no all good now However I do have times of doubt and this Constanza just seemed the right venue to air my negative thoughts but I will stay It is too addictive Cheers Chris
