Congratulations on winning the Image Contest. You brought to life the image used and takes the reader into the that sunset to breathe and enjoy the beauty of it. Well done.

That is what nature is all about. Taken in by her beauty you forget yourself as you immerse within mother nature's colors..loved the read!

Ah! Nature! nothing quite like it to inspire one to break into verse. i love your description of creatures watching you as you inhale the beauty.

well done on this one!

It was almost as if I was standing next to you, TJ:)

You always know how to paint the scene so perfectly with you words..so well done:)

Congrats on winning the contest. Your poem was truly amazing and I was pulled into this poem by your excellent word choice and the flow of the poem also helped with it as I was able to read from line to line without stopping. The imagery is breathtaking and I really love the images that we get to see. It's truly as if we are standing there watching all this happen around you. A beautiful poem.

"Sky painted by the master seems to swallow
the white hot sun with an orange aura.
A brush dipped in lavender, blue and pink
is laced with echos of the night."

This was my favorite stanza and by having this as your first, it really draws in the readers attention as it is so full of life and color. The creativity of your talent really shows and I am impressed by your hard work. Great job and keep writing.

Wow... this poem is so breathtaking. I really enjoyed it... I love how you compare nature to feelings, and in this case, solitude. I could envision the imagery you created. Wonderful job! And congrats on the win my friend :)

Well done good flow and lovely imagery.

First let me say that yours was the most impressing poems in the three wins. however I have to admit that every time I tried to read it I couldn't go beyond the first part, mostly because you left nothing for imagination, which (to me) is very off putting not to mention that repetition of the same words or words with the same meaning.

for example you mentioned ''sky'' twice. and words like ''painted'' ''brush'' ''picturesque'' and ''isolation'' ''solitude'' and ''aloneness'' . it seemed as if you're stuck in the same image and expanding it and I as a reader felt like I'm going in circles.

However the moment I reached the third stanza you surely caught my interest until the end and I could see your point, rather unique and interesting. although I found ''Listen to the sounds of nature, its voice whispering to the wind.'' a bit cliche and pocahants came to my mind for some reason.

Someone once told me a very helpful, er, trick? when you're done with writing something try crossing out anything that has been repeated, play with the structure, with the words and order if it's not a rhyming or a syllable restricted poem. you'd be amazed.

I've played a bit with yours so you can get what I mean..

''Brushes dipped in lavender, blue and pink,
laced with echoes of the night
(have?) darkened bare branches
against the picturesque sky
that swallowed the sun
with the orange aura.

Silence deafening.
solitude; an illusion

for not far away
eyes watch in fascination
and a multitude of creatures
survey your every move.
Cautious.

You inhale the scent of isolation
unaware
As a snake by your feet quietly
slithers.''

I think your ending was more powerful though, much more. but I think the start this way is a bit better (to me at least?).

anyway, i'm by no means fit to preach anyone how to write, I myself need to learn how so this is just a suggestion for you to consider if to you it reads better. I understand tastes differ and so do styles.

I would suggest though to correct ''echos'' to ''echoes'' and change ''a brush'' to ''brushes' maybe?

anyway, a rather interesting piece and the idea behind it in unique.

Congratulations on the win.

Wow... say hello to perfect. The imagery was beautiful and so was the creative imagination that wrote it. Amazingly penned.

Wow terrific poem really great and i really enjoyed reading it :) great everything like the wording :)
My fav:
Sky painted by the master seems to swallow
the white hot sun with an orange aura.
A brush dipped in lavender, blue and pink
is laced with echos of the night.

Framing darkened bare branches that
stand out against a picturesque sky.
Silence is deafening giving the illusion
of aloneness, of solitude.
-but it was very hard to choose when the wording and the whole thing was more then words :) :) 10 stars 5/5

Very creative...I really enjoyed the last stanza

Simply Wonderful Write and Imagery,
Bravo!!!

Hey bro

I still see you are keeping that wonderful flare to your nature poems.

This was really an exceptional piece. The intensity throughout the read of this poem was felt.

Excellent choice of words and construction as always.

Loved the part;

"A brush dipped in lavender, blue and pink
is laced with echos of the night."

So well portrayed with vivid imagination bro

This part;

"Yet eyes watch and a multitude
of creatures survey your every move"

So strongly put forward and shows a true picture behind your words.

Excellent writing bro 5/5

Keep up the wonderful writing

Regards,

LJ
