Notes About The Poem

Written 6 March 2026 for Poem Your Voice Poetry Contest of Charles Messina

Shining Voices-JU


Many voices ring clear, true,
Carved in verses sparkling new,
For a moment held in sight 
To catch the fast fading light.
 
The brushstrokes are soft and deep,
Like a rippling stream, they seep:
Do voices of equal shine
Bear same weight in space and time?

Back with my congrats. I suggest not centering your lovely poems. See if that's the reason the lines get split!

Thank you dear poetess for your kind wishes and for your suggestions. I have left centered the poem. Grateful to know if the lines still get split. Sorry for the late response as I had to move to and fro and be by side of my adult son, who underwent a delicate surgery this Wednesday. He is now on path to recovery. Wishing you the blessings of light.

This has a great ring to it. I am wondering why sometimes your lines get divided up and go to the other side of the screen. Is it for using a phone to post poems? I see this with some other poets too. Anyway, you used lovely imagery in this one

Thank you dear poet for your observations and for appreciating the above poem. In fact, I post all my poems on Poetry Soup, using my latop. Perhaps, the fact thet some poem lines get get divided and go to other side of the screen may be due to manually centering them or manually indenting them using the tab. Wishing you a blessed day.
