I love the simplicity of your poems. Reminds me of someone just walking down a street, no worries, but full of care.

Nice one Andrea. Like the feeling of an empty envelope with no stamp.

Oh my gosh, goodness, golly, gee-wizz-fizz - how poetic is this? A masterpiece, absolutely. The feel you deliver, the impact, I haven't the words, Andrea THIS IS EXCELLENT. The sponsor is going to find an assorted, hodge-podge of contest interpretations and I'm blessed to have a friend who pointed out what I failed to point out, thank you. You WOWED me, my muse won't stop jumping up and down ... CayCay

Its really one of the most creative takes on the prompt! But i always get confused with envelope and envelop. The spelling confuses me and how did you come up with such a clever take! Just brilliant! This should score high! I hope! Best wishes! Sending you light always
