    Oh Sherry this is beautiful! I love the graphics here and only wish I could do something like this! What a fine talent! I can't even manage to get a background on my poems... lol Love it to bits. Hey I tried to read three other of the shape poems but when I clicked on them, they showed blank except for the comments. What's that all about... a glitch somewhere I guess! Anyway if they are like this one... I love them already! Huggles,
    frogz~

    I like your shape poems, Sherry. I think they'd make great advertisements! Ever thought of sending them to ice cream or gumball companies? (Might be a bit much to ask a fish company to stamp that on their packages, dontcha think?)
    Good luck and thanks for entering!

    Haha, authors quote..anyways, this is somewhat artistic. I love how you shaped the words and it actually had something to do with what your words were shaping! Once again, thanks for entering

    Double Bubble Gum Machines… wow… they also come in different shapes and sizes… the colours are so enticing to the youngsters…
    any concrete poetry requires an imagination and is a time consuming… I liked the way you’ve arranged words in circle… thank you for entering the contest and good luck…

    Thank you very much for reading this and I'm glad you liked it it is something new I'm trying. I had seen shape (concrete) poetry and wanted to explore it. Well I did it more different in background colors and a little more detail to it. I have done three others they are in a list collection. Yes I like the Suzy Zoo things. Although here they aren't around my grandmas in Lajolla CA near Sandegio where the artist is from.

    LOL!! I kept looking for the poem that went with the picture. I had to go back 3 times before I realized where it was. How cute is that! Obviously you're very talented. I visited your author's page and there was Suzie Zoo! She's my gal-I have her all over my classroom. Again, this was brilliant!

    You're creativity never meets an end. So lighthearted and happy, I always love reading your shape poetry!!

    This reminds me of a little mini gumball machine that was half made by one of my best friends. She gave it to me for my birthday a few years ago. It always has something tasty inside. In fact, I just may have to go raid it right now!!

    Anyways, delightful, as always.

    Dearest Myra,
    Thank you so much I hope you will be able to use as many as you can for your book. But even if you used one it be a blessing and I be greatful. I never wouldn't want to seem selfish or greedy. Its just these I would be honored to be published and accepted because I have acomplished something challenging that isn't always easy. Thank you for being you Myra and for always seeing the positive side to life and me. Love you much, Sherry

    Lovely creative work

    Dearest Sherry

    I am amazed off the way in which you've become a creative artist -- in such a short time. I can see the effort behind this work of art. You are a clever Gal, did you know that?

    Thank you, too.

    Myra
