I feel the emotion in this poem. ‘‘His collar has been revoked”– I like this play with words- something the poet shares with Father Francesco.

this piece captures the surreal quality of the painting. Interesting musings in the waiting room.

the title drew me in to read your poem. I like the sense of rhythm. I can hear a drum beat all the way through.

I love that goat- it is quite a character. I do hope the heroine gets the outcome she desires. I am very impressed by her dedication to her chosen work, which comes across in the story. I think her fiance to be might be a bit jealous of her goats.

I enjoyed reading this. I liked the way it stopped in places and went into more detail, giving it depth. The part about dealing with imaginary bags was great. Something about the MC made me think of Austin Kleon , his books and his parenting.

I wondered how the hermit crab form would work for a 1500 word story and this was very effective. It is also a kind of memoir or biography. Very inventive piece.

zannierose commented on the post, A GAIJIN IN TOKYO!! By Charles R. Bucklin 1 week, 1 day ago
I like the tone of this. It made me think of the 40’s PI stories.
”all I wanted was to dance and sweat Okinawa out of my body and soul”- great sentence.
I was surprised by the behaviour of the police though. -

London 1880

I liked the premise of time travel in your story. I think you showed a lot of imagination in it. I especially loved the perma wave hair styler doubling as a time travel machine. Poor Edwina.
-
Hi Zannie
I like the imagination in your story. I wonder what is there in this month’s prompt that drives writers toward imaginary stories.
Thank you for writing this. -
I liked the story very much. The time travel is quite interesting and Edwina was way past her thinking abilities and most did not understand her. Thanks for sharing Zannie

”end explore the through games and books..- I did not understand this part of the sentence.
”You are Angel sent from above”. I wonder if it would work well to add ‘You are AN Angel sent from above’
I love the theme you chose. It is a great idea to let a newborn know how much they are loved with their very own poem.

‘Clean me up, wrap me up
in toasty towels of Your kindness’ – this is an unusual phrasing for beseeching. I would not have thought of it. It seems to blend both birth and baptism. -

Hi Zannie
Very authentic description of an old ceremony. It is commonplace in other eastern countries as well. I have seen it many times in Iran. Well written. -
Hello Zannie,
I like the way you have laid out the poem. Also the implied danger of such a prosaic activity as tea-making – ‘careful’, followed later by ‘hot amber liquid’. The title is great, too. -
Beautiful poem. Elegant and delicate. I love the form you used, and feel it really brings in the whole feeling of the tea ceremony.

Hi Zannie,
This is interesting. It’s the second acrostic poem in this prompt I’ve read and seems to fit well with the descriptive demands of the ekphrastic poem. A mind-blowing read. Thank you.
Hi Zannie
I appreciate it is not at all easy to write an acrostic poem, so much the more when it is considerably long.
Great work. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Zannie,
You chose a fascinating picture as your subject. I see that Yayoi Kusama is the subject of an exhibition currently on at the Tate Modern. Your poem makes me feel a trip to London will be necessary to see this work of art. Thank you.
Wow, acrostic and ekphrastic! Great cross-over of forms. Your picture drew me right in and I think your poem is just as mesmerizing.
A wonderful poem and you have skilfully described this magnificent artwork using two different forms. Well Done! Thanks for sharing:)
