Thank you for taking me to a place of serenity even if it was far a moment. Your words just soothed my soul and the picture added a touch of magic. Sounds like a winner to me. The entire package gets a thumbs up.

Hello anonymous

Beautiful entry for the
5-7-5 writing prompt contest. How did I miss this prompt? I love to write 5/7/5s. Yours is well written. Good syllable count and connection between lines. I like the play on words.

Love the gift-rapt play on words! Clever and perfectly suited to the scene you are describing in your 5-7-5! Wouldn't mind spending a lifetime or two there myself!--Karenina

I love the way you use your words. The phrase "muted in mist" is a very clever way to express the way they "Peaks" are covered.

Magnificent. The wordplay on rapt earns your stars in itself. Lovely alliteration Muted in Mist...and lots of Ts throughout. You may have a winner. Cheers. LIz

    Thanks for appreciating the wordplay. (I've noticed on previous occasions when I indulge myself in wordplay some people think they are typos!)

    Tell me about it! I posted a satire piece consisting entirely of gross errors in usage, misspellings, grammatical atrocities, and utter illogic. Despite the hints in title and description BEYOND ALL HOPE OF REPAIR: SENTENCED TO DEATH, and despite that the nonsense starts three words in, and despite the punchline, and despite the confession in the footnote--half the readers STILL took it seriously. Some auto-fived the monstrosity, politely expressing confusion and pointing out a few of the myriad errors--a few high-fivers seriously lauded the writing. If you want a chuckle--check it out--you don't have to slog through the mess if it's not your kind of fun--just look at the punchline and footnotes and peruse the reviews! I cannot BELIEVE anyone took this at face value!

This is a beautiful five/seven/five that follows all the rules. The illustration, of course, pairs perfectly with the words as it sets up the serene feeling. It is very nicely done.

Your contest entry is in great form, Mystery Author. Your syllable count is correct per line, the image is beautiful, and your message is strong--nature can and does calm us when we stop long enough to immerse ourselves in it. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan
