Susan Ashley November 13, 2018 at 8:29 PM The effective and striking contrast between your title and the word ‘betrayal’ in the broken heart shape is ingenious, John. Beautifully done and congratulations on your wonderful win. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan John Michaels November 15, 2018 at 11:23 AM Thanks for the glowing compliments, Susan!! Most generous! All the best, John.

Darlene De Beaulieu November 13, 2018 at 6:42 PM Hello John, how did you manage to do the poem in a heart shape? It must have taken you a few hours to do the poem this way. Have a nice evening my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu November 17, 2018 at 9:27 PM You did a great job creating this poem into this shape. It is late, i will turn in....Good night. John Michaels November 15, 2018 at 11:08 AM Hi Darlene. Yes, it took a little while - and more than a few attempts to get it right. Even then, it looks different on the site, than it did in Word, so had to make a few last minute adjustments! Seems to have worked, though!! Thanks for the kind comments. Regards, John.

Line Gauthier November 11, 2018 at 1:22 PM Ouch. Superbly done. Strong message. The crack in the heart is striking. Congrats on your well deserved win, John. John Michaels November 15, 2018 at 10:13 AM Thanks so much, Line. I wasn't sure how much space to leave in the middle, so glad the crack was clear enough. Regards, John.

Andrea Dietrich November 10, 2018 at 6:07 PM OH MY, I was not expecting that word!! I sure would not want to be the judge of this contest. I think I do not have a prayer with my entry after all the good ones I am seeing! John Michaels November 11, 2018 at 3:36 AM Thanks, Andrea. I wasn't sure if the title was meant to be the same as - or different from - the "one word" in the main body, so went for a twist! Regards, John.
