Nominated right off the bat Larry *raises two fingers of Jamesons*

It's funny I don't remember reading a nature piece from you before, I mean I know you've written them I jist don't think I've ever got around to reading them. Your structure and rhythm as usual are spot on amd I love your word choice and "voice" in this write....forgive me for not breaking it down but the Jamesons is a wicked mistress!!

Ben.

Larry, loved this! The visual of this person walking into this lake to end things and suddenly a trout swims by, life! It's amazing how life can startle you into actually living. So well done-

Larry,

A wonderfully rich and detailed write that put me in the woods and had me unsticking mud from my boots!
I think Brenda hit the nail on the head with her comment.

Excellent poem.

Ben

Congratulations, Larry. There's nothing quite like nature to lift a person's day.

Congrats Mr. Larry

That ending as well:

When all you needed was a glimpse of eternity in the scales of a rainbow"

Congrats on the win!

I could have sworn I commented on this,but obviously not lol my minds playing tricks.
Absolutely fantastic, well done on another fantastic piece and congratulations

It's interesting that when I wrote the line about Bob Marley I felt uncomfortable & it was the very line the judges decried. I thank them both for their candor & urge to improve.

Even better.
