Interesting poem, it feels like an internal emotional struggle.

This is a very good one and if for the contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. A nice still life to go alongside. Sara K

Hi Anne-Lise! What a wonderful entry for the contest! This form is a perfect visual match for roller coaster of emotions when forming an apology like " a fist in the face!" So visual and visceral. Best wishes for the contest! Blessings and hugs! Hope your summer has been warmer that ours here in CA!

Nice poem. Win or lose, you contributed something.

Anne-Lise, I could be wrong, but the r's pertain to the three subjects, and when I read Nette's example, I didn't see any alliteration. So, replying to your comment to another poet, I think that your poem passes. Your poem is really good.

- Don't think about it, Connie ... it's "just" a contest... I'll leave mine as it is... "lose and win" with a smile :)

After reading Andrea's poem, I'm lost. Hers has a lot of r's and alliteration. I might not know the rules here. I might even get more confused than you do.

WOW! I've seen two of these (Rictameter poem) today. I might add my first two I've ever read. Probably for a contest, so good luck, my friend. Bill
