You did a great job, Liz, with your contest entry. Your word count is correct, the rhymes are great, the image pairs nicely with your words, and your message is strong.
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.

Hello again! Alas, so many knights are dicks in disguise. Cheers. LIZ (Contest long over; I didn't win, never have.)
Comment from Alchera
This mono stanzaic poem is perfectly rhymed throughout its structural syllables counting and within its beautiful lifetime dreamt Prince's narrative storyline content. Well done and best wishes for the contest.

I am awed! Delighted, of course, by the bonus, much more so by your words. I shall have this review bronzed! An extra surprise was seeing this poem get reviewed now--it's long since rolled off the active list. Wonder how you found it and if you even got a penny! Thank you for this. LIZ

Liz, I review for my delight not for money as you did with my poems. I am agaist this system. I would like to pay only once for all what is necessary to go on. You deserved that review that I really felt. I hope we become good fanstorian cultural friends!I don't often review prose because I prefer poetry on one hand while I have started writing my first international thriller, translating my Italian original (La Buca Blue) The Blue Hole using the chinese box technique. I am still trying to find my narrating voice. May God bless you!Tony

Prince? lived in Minnesota most of his life. It was sad to think how he passed away. Help is always there for people who are addicted to an abuse substance.

Thanks. The Prince photo was per purpose of whimsy--I searched fan art to find a pic of a prince and I got him so I took him! I must content myself with a lower-case prince--should I ever find one! Cheers. LIZ
Comment from Iza Deleanu
I love the rhyming of this little poem:"die hard-gravely on guard- interred-forever deferred" It adds solemnity and gravity. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Thank you, Iza. Serious poetry--as opposed to my usual limericks and the like--is a new endeavor for me. I appreciate your kind words.

This is a powerful poem with only 20 words. I like how your image and the poem come together to share a powerful picture. Excellent word choices. Well done.

Angelina--
Thank you for your encouragement! Poetry is a stretch for me--I find I'm enjoying the challenge. Mainly I write bawdy limericks! Cheers. LIZ
Comment from Mackenzie Schmidt
I Await the Knight was amazing. I'm kind of speechless. Your poem brought joy and a feeling of longing. The picture was perfect. The color scheme and formatting enhanced the visual. Your poem was exactly 20 words and was a fantastic entry for the contest.

I'm kind of speechless myself--fortunately, I can still write, so THANK YOU for your review. Six-stars! Blew me away. I rarely write poetry, other than Limericks--please, check out my profile page for my latest (only if you like bawdy humor!) I just posted a 5-7-5 titled Shredded Dreams. I believe it offers pump potential. Cheers. LIZ (Your bonus star may bump my ranking up a tad--currently in the 600-sector--half-a-hair north of the South Pole!)
