Marvelously done Yvette! This such a beautifully crafted statement(should be used as a template of a boardwalk) this is wonderful with the picture that hides the flowers and lovely table and furniture surrounding it. I love it so much! What imagery what symbolism just marvelous. Bravo Yvette!

I'm enjoying clearing my messages, and particularly reviewing your well written posts, Yvette..
This contest entry is no exception. Like the multiple applications of "blinds" . Prejudice doesn't allow us to see the whole or true picture.
Good luck in the contest.

Hey there, Julia! :) Hooray for getting caught up.... I'm not there yet - LOL! ;) But I am glad you enjoyed this one -- seems the shorties are all I've time for right now with MidTerms this coming week... but the light's at the end of the tunnel, yeah?!!! ;) :) Have a wonderful week! ;) Yvette
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
As does prejudice,
vertical blinds curtail our
view of pure beauty
I had to reread this as I could still see the beauty but then I remembered the word prejudice and that alters everything. Nicely done

Wow! This is absolutely beautiful and so very true. The artwork you chose really draws it together and brings the meaning home for me. Thank you sharing.

Comment from Susan Larson
It's not just the vertical shades. It's any lines, divisions between windowpanes, support rails on the screen porch. When my husband and I sit together, looking outward, it's amazing how often were not seeing the same thing!

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
Very well said and displayed. The metaphor is profound. So when you nudge our conscience like that, we see all around us other things that curtail our vision of real beauty. One step further is our mind. What is there that keeps us from our true talents?

You have the job I wanted when I was a teenager. I quit school too early. Later I went back and even got some University in, but marriage and four boys thwarted my ambition. Ended up the President of a business.

They certainly do, Yvette. Well thought out 5-7-5 poem, my friend. The picture is perfect for what you've conveyed here. I enjoyed it. Well done and good luck in the contest!! :) Sandra xxx

This 5-7-5, All Those Lines, has the right set up and throws me off a bit as the view through the window looks like a marijuana patch.

Comment from Bill Pinder
Great job with this 575 poem using the metaphor of vertical blinds distorting our view just as prejudice distorts our view of people. Of course, sometimes blinds are good to block your dog from seeing things outside because they cause him to go crazy barking.

Yes indeed gems of Truth pervade this poetic minnow - a succinct format affording us a moment of reflection on what really matters ultimately - nice visual to accompany
