Amazing word choice, flow and imagery. You have a clever way with words. A well deserved win!

What a pleasure to read a well written, intelligent poem! This is wonderful.

The only line that made me stumble a teeny bit was

Life's blood staining booms

It does not dance lightly on one's tongue!

What a beautiful poem, Debbie...you have used such beautiful words to paint this picture in the readers mind. It is no surprise to me that you have won, again hahaha

Hugs,

5/5 Ingrid
