Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is a fine ekphrastic poem. The old post in the artwork looks worn and the barbed wire appears ineffective. This could have other meanings besides the obvious one. "An old barrier crossed so long ago." could mean someone's boundaries have been neglected or ignored. This is one to ponder. Well written and perhaps, thought-provoking.
Take care, Jesse

Comment from Mistydawn
What a well-written, thought-provoking poem. An old relic like this does make you wonder what happened to it. What was the area like years ago. Maybe even picture images in your mind. Very nicely done.

Whole lot of pondering in this one, Bill -- love the air of history and mystery you place in the mind of the reader... :) ;) Thanx for sharing that stark reality with reflection... ;) Yvette

Hi Bill, what a nice image. The poem reflected it perfectly... old fencing... broken down quite some time ago, by what, one can only guess. :)

Comment from Teri7
This is a very well written 5-7-5 poem you have penned about the lone fence post. You used very good words about the fence post letting us know why it is special. Very nice imagery from the art work you chose. Blessings,Teri

Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this thought-provoking 5-7-5 which, I feel sure, is about more than a fence post.
It reminds me of the boundaries of my early adulthood--some of which I ignored, some of which I crashed through!

Comment from Earl Corp
You chose a great graphic to accompany this poem. It actually had me feeling nostalgic about fences I had crossed in my past. Very nice job.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Well done, Bill, you certainly found some brilliant lines for this poem, you should have put this one in a contest. All I would have seen was a broken old post in an overgrown field, but you really came up with the goods. It was perfect wording. Well done!! :)) Sandra xxx

Comment from Tina Crute
Immediately I wonder who or what crossed the barrier. I just read Yvettes poem about tumbleweeds. I like to read about ordinary things with a different take on it, so I enjoyed this!

We?ve all crossed one barrier or another at some time.
Comment from BeasPeas
Hi Bill. What a lovely image to accompany your well written poem which is thoughtful. We have all crossed barriers that perhaps we wish we hadn't. Nice job. More like this, please. Marilyn
