Nice alliteration. Good luck in the contest.

What magnificent imagery this poem stirs in the reader. Even though you don't specifically allude to any particular I sense a powerful allusion. Well thought out.

Hello Yvette. You did a nice job of creating a lune poem with a story and meaning. I know I'm not artistic I'm just a hillbilly writer. I leave artistic writing up to people who know how to do it. Well done. Z ;)

Good luck in the contest Yvette. I liked the picture you used and perhaps there is some similarities lol. The words are so true for not only you but anyone who writes, I have seen your mystical creations and the pen does do magic.

    Good morning, Alie, and what a lovely review -- you made me blush (although I will deny this tear if asked after this moment)! ;) Thank you, THANK YOU, my lady, and I find myself looking for your name in the 'message listing' for some 'quickies' (you know just some flashes or the like) on the different decorations there in the RV Park -- please surprise us with a string of 'RV Artistry at Christmas' (or something like that -lol!).... Take care over there in the Great Southwest! ;) Yvette

I didn't notice the "fella"
until I read your author notes!
-I can surely empathize with you:)
-A very well written line with
effective use of one continuous thought.

-A good entry; good luck.

Nice short 'i' assonance in 'mystical' and 'vision.' Great 'w' alliteration in weave and way, and great 'p' alliteration in 'poet pen.' I think this lune touches on the sense of magical mysticism poets often feel when they begin to write something that feels as if it is literally inside a writing utensil and begging to be let out, and of course 'poet pen' can be a metaphor for the urge to write, too.

Your mystical visions certainly do, oh 'Queen of Golden Pen.' Christmas break nears for you and a break!! You can have some real time to sit and write. Wait, real time? I don't know how you do it dear lady. It's been quite a year for me with many challenges but Ive been able to get in some good writing and hone my skills. Thanks for being such an inspiration.
My best forever, and for the contest,
Sal xo

This work has reached the exceptional level

Yvette,

A very, very nice Lune poem entry with a terrific illustration to accompany the same.

You composed an elegant poem with vivid word imagery. Almost every word provides us a glimpse of your thinking as mystical poet (-;

Mark
