CayCay Godwin March 26, 2026 at 6:10 PM Words + image = A+ I hope formatting on the Poem Submission Form is easier for you than me. Your impressive mind bulb could have easily taken me an hour, something always moves, fixing makes everything else move, over and over until I don't want to play anymore. Kidding, I carry on but sometimes I cuss. Your entry is enjoyable.

Ink Empress March 26, 2026 at 12:48 PM Wow im in awe of this artistic illusku, inspired to try but i think i can never do it on my phone! You are such a beautiful and artistic soul dear sweet valsa! You amaze me! Truly! This is a fave for me! Sending you light always

Andrea Dietrich March 26, 2026 at 11:58 AM Wow. I wish I could such a nice one so clever!

Sara Kendrick March 26, 2026 at 6:21 AM I like your computer rendered drawing. Quite unique and the accompanying senryu is very nice and revealing. It is good when in solitude that a lightbulb comes on showing us the way. Sara K

Victor Buhagiar March 26, 2026 at 2:16 AM Lovely shape and haiku. Hope you'll get a high placement.
