I'm surprised you didn't have a picture, a visual of the mountains, pagodas, etc. to illustrate what you're referring to in the poem. Beautiful imagery. Great job of fulfilling the requirements for the QIYAN JUEU form. Yes, great architecture does mirror nature. That's synchronicity. The red and black is a bit much for my eyes. I have been using special drops six times a day for my sensitive eyes. I'm about halfway the treatment, which lasts eight weeks. judi

    I did have one, but, for inexplicable reasons, it didn't transfer when I originally posted. I contacted tge FS Powers That Be, though, and now the image has joined the words. All is right again with the world!

    Thank you for your affirming review. Xo

    Ah, yes, now I see it. The pagoda in its towering glory. Beautiful. judi

Well done - and by not using an image you compel the reader to use his/her own imagination, which I think is preferable. The words should be enough to convey the writer's intention, and yours are. I enjoyed your thoughts here.

    Thank you for this, though there was supposed to be an image projected with it, but it didn't go through.

    Oh? Can you edit it, and reinsert an image? I do sometimes think poets depend too much on an image - having said that, my next poem has an image to go with it!

    I talked to Tom, and now it seems like the image has manifested.

    Oh yes, that is a powerful image! Very striking!

    It's Gypsy's that accompanied her assignment for us.

This is nicely worded when you listen to it however, I cannot see it to read it because the black on the red just does not show up with my vision problems. Maybe if you lighten the background to a tan or something like that it might help for more reviews.

    I'm sorry, Patricia, that the coloring made this difficult for you. I chose the red because it matched the picture. Thank you for the affirming review. xoxo

    At the time I reviewed it,it did not show the image that you used with it. I understand why you used the color you used.

    I know!! I was so baffled about that. I contacted Tom, who righted the situation, though, but it took a good five reviews before that happened.

Rachelle,

This is great poem. I would have given you six stars, but they don't give us very many of those little gems. The three line are organized well and speak volumes.

Great Job my friend.

Cecilia

Hi Rachelle.
I read your description of the style of this particular form of poem and as I read it, it conforms the style quite well. I appreciate the effort you put into the form and design of these exotic styles. This is nicely written, and it is easy to follow the pattern in your words.

    Thanks, Z. Somehow, the graphic did not go through on it, and that mitigated the impact. I asked Gypsy for assistance, but so far, crickets. I think I'll try Tom now. Xo

    I don't know how all of this web site works after all these years. I have never communicated with either of them.
