Treasures fail
to feed the hungry
While wisdom
pries open
the understanding
of greed misspent

Wow, this was one of the deepest pieces that I've seen for this contest. You created something quite wonderful here and congratulations on the bronze it was well deserved!

Thank You!!
Thank You for Your entry: Peril
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading which I did several times~ I kept seeing a rocket ship~ blast off and hearing word: NASA-
also reference to toilets~ which I remember on the news but also there seems to be an underlining message in re: to material things and its worth like what are the necessities in Life-
Now I am being shown a pearl in a ring and it is bigger than what I have ever seen~ whether a metaphor or symbolism but it beckons to be looked at closer~ Hearing words: faux pearl
I am being shown a jewel on a satin type of bed in a box in what looks like a jewelry store~ 14K band- butttttttt St....the store starts with a St and
Jewelers...I'm being shown its showcase at the window...and a man which looks like a salesman...Hearing name: Martin (what sounds like Martin) Something about appraised~ then hearing reference also to Grandmothers and what sounds like a broach-
Hopefully that makes some sense
Powerful images You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
....understanding of greed misspent
Unique Voice spoken~
Thank You for sharing Your Heart also Spirit!
Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
**Judging will be done shortly...
Many blessings too
and much love~ Desire~*~
