As you may well know, the contest has moved on to another round, however I had not reviewed all of the entries yet, and this is something I vowed to do, so I have a bit of catching up to do. I do hope you participate in the next round as well. Not many authors, or readers, give much thought to placement or alignment, when it comes to poetry. It is my thought that something as simple as where or how you place a poem on the page, can add to its imagery. Poetry is up to the interpretation of the reader. What a poet writes, and the message a reader gets isn't always the same, especially when using metaphors. That being said, aligning a poem to the left of a page may imply unification; all is right in the world. Centering an item so that all the lines are askew, based upon the character count, can have the meaning of chaos and turmoil in life or emotion. Though keep in mind, this is just my personal feelings on the subject, and not all will agree with this. Though, it does give one something to consider. I personally like the centered format chosen for this piece. To me, the first few rhymes were not quite spot on. They were a bit of a small minute stretch, but did work, when read with the right voice. ~impression to passion ~color to discover Other than those two, the rest were fine. I am not saying they don't work, just that they took a bit for me to make them work. The poem is well written and delivers a great artistic tapestry of life for the reader. Great piece of art. Thank you for sharing.
