Congrats, Madame! 🏆

And well done Miss_Sub and Brando. ✔✔

At least I can say the challenge motivated me to write 5 poems!

butters said:this reads to me like a double revelation:  the sweet tormenting voices suggesting possibilities in those 'visions' yet, at the same time, a revelation by the poem's narrator that they will not be listened to nor acted upon and that, instead, they will revel in what is real (and achievable) to them. a closing oneself off from the possibilities of love as a form of self-preservation? that's sad.

the image of the framed daylight has me thinking of a person who is too unsure, not mentally prepared to chance walking through the doorway of possibilities. even though the lines don't mention a doorway—might just as well be windows, the 'glass' closing the narrator off from the other side of what is/what could be.

question: obsurdities
since you have absurdity further down, is this word a play on 'obscurities/absurdities', or a typo? i know you're not prone to posting with typos so i just wanted to know

thanks for this entry, Poets_Revenge



Thanks so much, Butters for the great analysis and noticing the typo in my poem, I appreciate the insightful critique..

Congrats to the winners, it was really interesting to see the many perspectives on a single word and the possibilities of it, this was a great comp idea

it was a pleasure to read and an interesting journey in my attempt to decode its breadcrumbs.

these sorts of challenges often make for great surprises as to where the prompt takes the poet :D
