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.

Blessings Julia
to the whole picture

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

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!

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.

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.

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
