Notes About The Poem

Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud ~ ALL THAT GLASS Poetry Contest ~ Date Written: 6/8/2026

Glass Half Empty

I hear them say, is the glass half empty? But is it really? I find the glass to be half full, full of goodness for all. The glass half empty people, seem to be negative. The glass half full people seem to be positive. Which one are you?

Hi, Paula! You penned a very nice piece here. I am definitely a glass-half-full guy - trying my best to always appreciate every day for the gift it truly is, looking for the best in everything (while also still confronting reality, no matter what it is). [It sounds like you are, as well. :) ] Congrats on your placement in the contest, too! Blessings & very best, Bartholomew

I truly don't know which person I am. I can't remember ever referring to a glass either way! I like your take in this contest. I did the same theme. Just didn't post it yet

Well, I have always been one to say my glass is still half full so don't add any more drink This one reads like a good contender for a contest to me. Way to go. Sara K.
