Inside the lines

Meme has used a variety of colours along with metaphors to portray her message inside this write this week, and it worked very well indeed. Each stanza was short and clear, adding an extra point to her story each time. The title was also very creative, as it refers to staying inside the lines of colouring in a picture on paper. The ending was a great way to end, showing that mindset of what the author is really hoping for within the situation.

Judging Comment

The creativity in this piece, taking an old phrase "Color outside the lines" and twisting it into something so much more personal and even more inspiring than the usual optimism as this piece is heartrending while still holding on to a sense of hope that innately lies within all of us. Her use of colors is simple enough to allow each reader to determine the shade for themselves while still being vivid enough to set the scene and tell the story. Meme pours her heart out in a way that most modern poets are afraid of; she writes a universal, well formed, silk-flowing, simple read that still manages to capture its audience. The final stanza especially blows them away.

Really love the last verse. Great job! (:
