... who's heart has us readers,
Picking up pages time, and time again!!!

This is a sad write...
Yet, it holds so, so much beauty...
wisdom too!!!

At a first glance,
i noticed your words form
An hour glass type shape...

So I thought...
- is time on your side?
- is time against you?
- or a transition in/through your time?

After reading your poem,
I went with the latter of the three...

See,
I can't help but see nature and beauty in your words,
As they free flow across my screen like a small breeze,
Usually effortlessly and much welcomed :)

You may feel defeated at times,
And that you have to dust yourself off...
Pick yourself up and start again...
But forgotten tales, NEVER!!!

All 776 pages of you,
Live dearly on a shelf in my heart...
Frayed around the edges or not,

You are beautiful Andrea <3

Well.... Wonderful poem Andrea aunty.. And congratulations on your win. ^_^

Yay! I'm so very happy that this was a winner. Congratulations! Well-deserved.

Congratulations on the win and front page with this piece! It deserves nothing less with it's simple imagery and the way it reaches out to every reader in a slightly different piece. Beautiful write in every sense of the word, especially in the way you took such a sad feel and twisted it into something so stunning.

Wow.

Wonderful write !!!!!

Congratulations on the win !!!!

Judging Comment:

This piece is absolutely stunning. Andrea has completely blown me away with her use of spot on imagery (found in all her works but definitely highlighted in the simplistic detail here). There is a voice in this piece that truly captures the audience in ways they would not anticipate when they sit down to read a piece labeled "sad". There is an honesty in this piece, a sort of openness that authors (along side any artist) strive to offer within their work that Andrea has mastered this week in ways so many only dream of. This piece definitely goes down as one of her best thus far.

Beautiful and precise imagery creating an effortless read for something so pregnant in symbolism.
