    I've looked at all 3 of these contests. The first two out of sheer curiosity -- the third because of how stunning I thought the artwork was for the first two... I am so wishing I had some time to put something together for these. ... sigh ...

      Thanks. I'm quite amazed because i've never really tried painting and while it's computer generated it is very similar to the real thing I believe.
      I hope to see something from you but realize time and the illusive muse play a part.

      Thanks... It was like one of those poems you write in five minutes and is better than the one that you struggled for hours with.

    I have been trying to keep up with you here. You are a very entertaining host. I say this because when you admitted to commenting under the influence.. I chuckled.. thinking to myself .. "That makes us even,, I wrote my poem while ... drunk!"

    Thanks for hosting a thought provoking contest

    Although, you kind of skipped mine. I like the depth of comments that you give

    I'm unimpressed. Maybe it's my supposed artwork. This is the last contest of this type I will hold.

    I sense that. What one word would you attribute to your picture that you would like to see expressed in your contest?

      It's not so much about the painting as it is about the poet. To be quite honest I didn't see much poetic devices linked with good rhythm and flow.

      Yea, I thrived on the occasional quickies of before but after it became the 'in thing' that seemed to turn me away. I've never been one to jive with today.

    Quick can result in sloppy

    it does not give the prompt time to marinate and spark creativity. Although, I cannot gripe too much, I am als a victim of the quick and numb
