    This piece is stunning, truly it is. Your vocab is so intense and some words I never have even heard of before. I love the word choice and imagery you created, this isn't like any piece I've read before. You should be very proud of this poem, you did a fantastic job! Congratulations on the win, you deserved it!

    God Bless You!

    Great work here Mel. I enjoyed the flow of it, it was like a melancholy whisper as I read it in my head, I think that's the best way I can describe it.

    I especially enjoyed the ending, the way you gave in.

    You were,
    a shape shifter
    when tea leaves lied.
    A fraction of illusion,
    so I played for you tonight.

    I thought it was a great ending.

    Nice work, it was great from start to end.
