Gale Review of the Emerald City

The shine of emerald green blinds. Their narrow slats will pinch your eyes. Be moneywise - this trip’s not kind. The shine of emerald green blinds. It’s not for empty-headed minds, Nor yellow brick tail-biting cries. The shine of emerald green blinds. Their narrow slats will pinch your eyes. 5/2/2019 Celebrate May with a Triolet Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

I read some of your comments and Kurt's "cryptic' is the defining word for me here. I think you did well with the form. great rhymes! But I like things really lucid! Congrats and thanks so much for participating in my contest, Kim.(now I am seeng Caycay's comment. She is a "delver" and I am lazy when it comes to delving!)

This is such a unique take on the theme of 'emerald' - I especially like 'empty-headed minds' - best of luck in the contest, Kim.

I like your approach, it is unique and creative, plus it gives readers cause to 'think', delve beneath the surface of your imagery. Long after I've clicked away from this page I'll still be wondering why your triolet took me to Oz! Ii know that wasn't the triolets intention but I can't get my thoughts to leave while they're having so much Oz fun. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
