Like the portraits on the walls of royalty,
They sat, unmoving, like daffodils
Calm after a breeze.
A story of life, love, and vanity
Frozen in time; neverending and immortal

Lucid. Says a lot. The themes trigger a diverse range of thought and it's not easy to make diversity clear.

Short and purely sensational like a perfect grape the taste of this poem lingers
-
strong, intriguing
This is a really strong write. I like the reference to royalty...it seems to give the girls in the picture more importance..some kind of transferred highness...if that makes sense.

Congrats on the gold. I think you deserve it. There's a wonderful sense of stillness and frigidity in this, a wonderful sense of frozen, graven faces. Keep on going with the winning streak! God bless!

"on the walls of royalty". Nice phrasing here and I like the unmoving quality you have given them, a description of what it must be like to born to the purple as they say.

A different take on the photo. They do seem unmoved by anything, don't they? Very good point. Good luck in the contest. ~ Joyce
