Dwelling in the realm of poetry,
the written word our guide.
Hearts and tales
make us different,
yet the same...

This SO deserved the gold!! I think I am going to bookmark this page and read it again and again. You know how they say that sometimes only a few words are able to express a million things? This poem is a perfect example.
Congrats on the gold!

Very creative and unique take on the prompt...How wonderfully true are your words, we are so different as writers, yet we hold a common ground in words.
Wonderfully done.

Amera, Thank you for the applauses and your lovely words of praise as always. This prompt just took me to that place and I was so happy when I opened the contest from my notes to see that there were still two spots left to enter it. I'm very happy that this one spoke to you as it did. And I sure am glad too. Love you my friend, Joyce

such a unique take on the prompt... i really like how you used the meaning of the idiom. thank you for a wonderful entry.

going, Thank you for the lovely words of praise. That prompt just started screaming out to me. When I saw the notes come across after logging in and how long ago it had been I only hoped I wasn't too late. You didn't give us many words to use and I wanted some reference to the coin thing in there. Thus I had the "hearts and tales" instead of "heads or tails". Thank you for the gold trophy and for the inspiration you gave me. Love and God bless you always, in all ways. Joyce

This is the first of your "quickie" poems that I have read, and I think you should write more of them. Your words are succinct and intriguing. We share common experiences through our poetry, yet always bringing a unique perspective. Good luck in this contest, sis. Peace, Liz

Liz, Thank you for the lovely words of praise you gave to me here sis. The prompt called out for these words to be written and I was happy that there were still spaces available in the contest. When we only get a short amount of words to use we have to take full advantage of it. I'm very happy that this one spoke to you as it did. Love and hugs from your sis, Joyce

JUST LOVELY!!!!
Yes, each and every one of us lets our feelings and thoughts be written in our poems yet each of us though different in thoughts and feelings have this common thread of not being afraid to let our true thoughts and feelings come forth in what we write.
