Congratulations on your winning work in the contest. Way to go. Sara K

I came back to say congrats in the contest. I don't think I had ever gone through that particular winners' list. WEll deserved win. I hope you know that I always want to comment on your poems I read. These days we have resumed teaching at my school building and my time is even more limited than it was in the spring!I sure do miss the time I used to have for more comments, etc. nowadays I seem to be making most of them on my weekends!

I remember reading the original, John, and I so happy to see this excerpt on the winners list, congratulations!

Sincere congratulations on your win in the Liberum Divisa 5 Poetry Contest, John - thank you so much for entering! This was a very tough contest to judge as there were SO many wonderful entries - I loved reading your submission. Blessings! - the bard

The ending line is powerful, nice extract, John:) thank you for my placement in your summer love contest, I worked hard on my poem and to see you surprised by my efforts gives me great satisfaction:)

Hey John, I can feel the torment and woundedness in these lines. Nicely done!

WoW! John, Your four lines are very good by themselves. Now I have to go read the poem that these four lines were taken from. They're a great contender for the contest. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great evening:-) Alexis

I loved this John! Short but sweet and amazing!:)

wow, the end of line 4 has great impact, John. Great imagery!

Thanks so much for the placement in your contest John.

It stands well on its own. Well done John.
