                                                    Sorry
                                              restless itching
                                           As a fist in the face
                                    it scrolls replay on the canvas
                                  Reflect on the value of memories
                                      divided emotional thoughts
                                             Complexity of life
                                                pollute the air
                                                     sorry

Sam Kauffman August 5, 2025 at 10:54 AM 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! Anne-Lise Andresen August 6, 2025 at 7:56 AM - We had an incredibly beautiful July ... August started with rain and storms ... wet, cold and gray - Thank you very much for your comment :) - hugs

Jay Narain August 5, 2025 at 10:51 AM Nice poem. Win or lose, you contributed something. Anne-Lise Andresen August 6, 2025 at 7:54 AM - I like writing for contests, Jay ... fun to win... but I don't expect anything... take it as it comes :) - hugs

Connie Pachecho August 5, 2025 at 4:51 AM 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. Anne-Lise Andresen August 5, 2025 at 10:40 AM - Don't think about it, Connie ... it's "just" a contest... I'll leave mine as it is... "lose and win" with a smile :) Connie Pachecho August 5, 2025 at 8:22 AM 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. Anne-Lise Andresen August 5, 2025 at 5:10 AM - Thank you very much, Connie ... I often get confused about the rules of the contest ... thank you for your friendly response, much appreciated :) - hugs

Valsa George August 5, 2025 at 4:16 AM Memories produce mixed emotions in us. Powerful penning ! You are so good at writing short poems like haiku and similar type. All the Best dear Anne. Hugs! Anne-Lise Andresen August 6, 2025 at 7:52 AM - My teacher always said: "Write short and simple" ... and I love it :) - Thank you very much, Valsa :) - hugs
