Beautifully written with excellent description of what is taking place. The full moon which lightens the landscape in a soft serene silver beams. Your excellent background enhances the written words of your wonderful 5-7-5 contest entry. Good luck!!

Tappity tap tap by Colin John

Excellent

Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

I like background color with white font.
This poem catches the readers eye right away. It has two primary characters which are doing the same thing side by side. Then old age called them home.
Very well done.

Baseball Season Started by l.raven

Exceptional

Linda, I really enjoyed exceptionally written very hilarious poem about the beginning of baseball season. It is funny at times the travails people go through for tickets to that first game. When I lived here before I left, we had some scrambling to get tickets. Well done my friend. Take and love you,,,,,,,Jimmy

I am recovering well after being grievously septic back in January. It has been one problem after another, but, I'm still here!!

They're Just Words by l.raven

Exceptional

Ms Raven, you chose a most perfect artwork to lead into this absolutely meaningful poem!I have lived and walked in His words. I do not go to church because I do not need church to know, believe, and love my Savior. To salvage one's soul believing and loving Him each will gain entry to His home Heaven. I know He walks with me each day and protects me from evil.. Well written my friend,,,,,,,,Jimmy

Contain me not... by royowen

Exceptional

Roy, the artwork is a wonderful choice to bring to life your words of this exceptional piece of poetry. You are such a great writer and composer. I truly admire your works.

I learned many years ago to never judge the looks of people because you never know if that could be me someday.

I have helped a few down on their luck folks and have gotten more back than I could have ever imagined. Great knowledge lies beneath the grunge and tattered clothes.

I am not on this site like people think I am. I only emerge for a couple of writers. You, my friend are one of them. Such excellent and profound thoughts you express which are filled with truths. If only people would really read deeply into the words you have penned.

Another great composition, Roy! take care my friend until the next time. Also, bless you and yours in this world we travel through,,,,,,Jim

Life Is Our Story by Alcreator Litt Dear

Exceptional

I really enjoy this picture you chose to accent and to bring to life this most exceptional contest entry.

Life and love should just about you and her. Too many times people get involved and this is when the fracture in the relationship occurs.

Congratulations with this very well written poem done in 6 words and 7 syllables. Good luck!

My best,,,,,,Jim

Oh What a Savior! by Teri7

Exceptional

Teri, 48 years ago, I became lost from the death of my first and only true love from ovarian cancer at age 21. Booze and drugs I used to ease my pain. One day sitting a on bar stool, a man sat next to me. He said that Beth was no longer in pain and wants you to be happy. The Lord Jesus, wants the same for you. Return to Him. I turned to speak to him and he was not there. I asked bartender where the man went and he said, "Jim, you've been sitting here alone."

At that moment, I gave up the booze and drugs and returned to Him.

Thank you for that wonderful memory.

Have a great day and enjoy your weekend. My best,,,,,,,Jim

Beautiful by Alexander Vasa

Exceptional

Love the picture that brings life to this exception poem.

This reminds me of my dearly departed mother. She was a great mom, wife and teacher of life. I am the oldest and the one of three who listened to mom. She was and still is My first true love. She taught me respect for all things of life, especially women. I may have gotten angry, but I never raised my voice nor ever hit them.

Thank you for this poem and the memories it brought back to me.

I wish you a great day and enjoy your weekend,,,,,,,,,Jim
