To Whom Does This Come

To interpret a mysterious force, takes much thought and perception. Your most eloquent words have embraced the subject and depicted it crushed between forlorn fingers, petals held in contorted hands. I doubt anyone but you could render such clarity to this topic. Congratulations on your well earned win.

I am coming late to the table with my congratulations, Anaya. A very powerful write and every line moving one forward, thirsting for the next. FAVing it :)

Congratulations Anaya! This is a gorgeous poem,hiabun! Very cool thoughts on the theme USS gave. It's deep and thought provoking poem about what we leave behind for posterity. Xoxo

Anaya, congratulations on this write. It's hard to know what we are as essence. As you distill away various portions of our short existence on the planet, what do we leave? I think you capture that we would like something to be there. It's a very difficult question to ponder and you ease me into it. Very cool indeed. Smiles here just thinking about life's meaning!

Congratulations on a magnificent wrte, Hugs, Pangie

Congratulations Anaya on that great big trophy, winning a Seekers contest is no mean feat, some great lines in here (To whom does this come, whom shall it deem As father time allots and consumes) ain’t that the truth! great poetry, Also I see you you used the lilac quote to great effect, brilliant and deserved win. Cheers David

Hearty Congratulations Anaya on your trophy win. A well deserved one. The image too speaks volumes. The contrast between what is ephemeral and fleeting and what that will last, a legacy that lives on.... is so metaphorically and beautifully brought out.

Congratulations on your top win!!!!

Congratulations on your win. What a wonderful write from start to end. Great Picture...  Have a very blessed day/week writing away.............

Interesting photo Anaya... Fitting for Halloween... Your poem invites deep reflection on the nature of existence, presenting a delicate balance between acknowledging life's fleeting nature and the hope of creating something meaningful that outlasts it. The language is both lyrical and philosophical, combining introspection with vivid, sensory imagery.

Dear sweet anaya, I absolutely love how youv written this poem and take on the line of enquiry! Especially those opening lines are just so creative! “ What’s left behind is the fragrance of the lilac Crushed between forlorn fingers Petals held in contorted hands “ wow that hits so deep and is so beautiful! Fragrance of lilac and forlorn fingers really left me in awe! “ Manifesting myself by channeling a myriad of diverse and inexplicably bold personas “ love that and i am a strong believer of manifestations. Its so good to see you back to writing again! Best wishes for the contest. Sending you light always .

Very deep write Anaya and your words 'Pro tem I am, pro tem I am an irrepressibly creative force Manifesting myself ' - for the time being I am - a powerful sentiment - All the best for the contest. Maria
