It has been a while since I'd challenged myself to a footle form, Valsa, albeit your winning entry does tempt the "bard's" quill, if I may be so bold to say. Congrats, my friend, Aloha~William

Dear Valsa, your footles are wonderful! The story describes perfectly poets' trials in getting a poem to work, especially "pain dies, dreams rise." Congrats!

In your wonderful poetic way Valsa you have eloquently compressed the act of writing, the ways of inspiration and the feeling of satisfaction when a poem is completed. Wonderfully done dear friend. Congratulations on your win! Blessings to you and you brilliant pen!

An interesting Footle, Varsa. I love ~ ink spills, heart stills, and they dance, they prance. Good luck in contest!

Valsa, your skillfully written, expressive footles convey a powerful message about the cathartic experience of writing poetry. Janice

Thanks a lot Tom for your comment and letting us know of your probable absence for sometime. We will miss you ! For the next few days I too may not be active on poetry soup as I have some travel and other family engagements.

Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. I like these but they are not so easy to write. Your visit to my page was so uplifting. Sara

Very skillfully woven, my friend. In every combination, there is poetry! Valsa. I enjoyed the humorous content as well as the creative use of language. Best wishes for the contest

I can focus on this sort of easy forms. But Pantoum, Rubiyat, Open verse etc, I find very difficult. Thanks a lot dear Lasaad.
