A very well written philosophical piece in this short verse. I stopped and thought about it and agree that it is the unknown that causes us to fear and fear lost. Well done, Yvette!

Your message about loneliness and lost of self is profoundly stated. I enjoyed reading it and I wish I had six stars to rate you. Your artwork choice is exceptional and the use of it enhanced your message. Best wishes!

I can feel countless and endless space in this piece. There is so much out there that if we do not have a grounding point we will wonder for the rest of our lives never finding our way home. That is what this piece says to me.

Having an imagination is wonderful--a blessing, sometimes. When turned
loose, it can take us to a beautiful flower garden or a dungeon. It depends, I suppose, on what's going on in our lives at the time. Your poem is excellent--descriptive and thought-provoking.

Neat entry.... 3 powerful images in only 3 lines ..... like the use of alliteration .... also like the 4th image the art offers. ... Good luck

A very well-written 5-7-5 lost poem about the mind that sometimes getting lost while the body seems to function normally with an absent minded that doesn't know who or where they are.

Yes our minds are such a mystery both to ourselves and to others -food for thought here especially in these times we are living through as we struggle to make sense of it all 'fear's unknown fields'

-Nice artwork and
presentation.
-The syllable count is
good, along with the
effective use of
one continuous thought.
-A good topic and imagery.
-The message is a good one
as you describe the wandering
of the "untethered mind"
in "unknown fields."
-Too many are experiencing
this on a daily basis.
-A good entry; good luck.

It's an excellent poem which captured how lack of support can make one feel lost. Fine use of personification and metaphor. Good use of R consonance as well. Fine presentation. This should do well in the contest. Good luck!
