Release these earthly bonds holding me in despair,
deliver me to heaven’s door without remorse or care,
for I endured and paid the price, but also lost the fight,
drowning in a bed of tears by your absence every night.

A beautiful poem created from an appealing picture reminiscent of Ophelia. The skill here is in your use of so few words to tell such a story.

Thought provoking piece
you have here Bazza, I can honestly say that is had a powerful impact to me and hit close to home in some related situations Ive gone thru in my past and that of my friends/family members. You have penned this in the most amazing of ways, and I thank you for sharing the creativeness from deep within. Congrats on the trophy, well deserving.

AFTERTHOUGHT!!!
Kindly permit me to copy this poem with due reference to your authorship and allow me to fix it by the framed picture I bought at the Louvre??? What say you? DW -
STUPENDOUS!!!
This, dear friend, is Royal Poetry! Short, precise and to the point without losing the poetic effects that so obviously are emmanating from this very fine work; I really am inspired here Bazza ji! The picture, by the way, hangs in the Louvre and I saw it; I also managed to get a copy of it, and it now hangs in my livingroom: every time I will look at it now, your excellent poem will come to my mind: thanks for the effort and input...

It's funny how we each relate to the prompts differently. Your take is beautifully done and the rhythm and flow are flawless. Good luck.

Excellent work mate! Good luck in the contest!

This is beautiful. It expresses so much of what I feel that I cannot begin to put it in words and I'd hate to bore you with the details. Nonetheless, this was a greate piece. -R.T

(I'm going daft, Bazza - I had a comment for you on this poem, and I pasted it into a comment field for someone else. I hate computers!)
This is a nice piece of work - short and sweet, and very restrained for you. I hope it does really well in the contest.

Mathematics and poetry
Ha ha it HAD to be short .... 40 words or 15 lines ..... och lassie, i din nae able to put less than 40 in a single line (or a couplet as some say ...)so I had tae do it. The painting pulled a few cords ... just had to give it a bash...thanks for the applause and compliment too. How are you ?? just getting back into AP but every time I leave someone does something that makes me try again ... will read more of your wonderful work too as I get a chance, but it is hard sharing the computer line with 6 people.
