You are the first to see the new version so I am glad it is now clear.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/19/2014 4:15:00 PM Hilarious note at the end!! Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/19/2014 5:23:00 PM hahaha. I just read your poems for the second time. Now that you explained that one line for me , I can see what you were getting at. Let's see if others can!!! Maurice Yvonne Date: 11/19/2014 4:50:00 PM So you are saying you like my third crystalline the best. Good only great poets can read that one.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/19/2014 4:14:00 PM Oh, why did you not enter the bonus one? That one is my favorite of the two!! In fact, I LOVE it. Soupmail! Login to Reply Maurice Yvonne Date: 11/19/2014 4:49:00 PM The bonus is simpler to understand. The first one is an attempt to use creative imagery. Remember that the title also counts with a Crystalline.

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Date: 11/19/2014 3:06:00 PM Thanks for the extra crystalline, Maurice! They're both wonderful. I had trouble coming up with one! Good luck in the contest. Love & Blessings, Rhonda Login to Reply Maurice Yvonne Date: 11/19/2014 4:47:00 PM My first one is more difficult to understand but I am trying to break out from the crowds.

Casarah Nance Date: 11/19/2014 2:44:00 PM haha you are so funny. I did like the hard oak cystalline, though I don't really know what a crystalline is, I'll have to investigate, but honey it read well. :) Login to Reply Maurice Yvonne Date: 11/19/2014 2:57:00 PM How do you mean Cas better than the one I entered in the contest? Maybe I should flip them.
