    As a piece that is literally three lines and eleven words this is a true representation of the poet's skill. There is a scene detailed enough to give a stage yet forgotten in such a way that every reader finds an entirely different meaning and tone to the actual setting/ story here. Not that either is universal nor ambiguous but it truly is left to every reader on their own in the way that this gives the poet's take on a moment - a thought in it's own stunning fragment. The word choice was utilized to the very fullest of anyone's ability given the format of the form. Stunningly penned.

    Short, simple, effective... love it!

    I like how you didn't need to explain the link, although the lines of the poem seem unrelated, but come together at the end. Also, it's nice to see new forms being used, refeshes a person. :)

    Samia...how you have grown as a writer since you disappeared from this site for a time.

    I read and nominated this as a taxi was blasting it's horn impatiently outside waiting to take me to the airport so I didn't have time to leave a comment but I'm so glad the judges saw this little gem and loved it as much as I did!

    Let me just say that the contradictions you placed in each line really caught my attention and left me thinking about each line separately and...together. So good to see you back sweets...
