There is so much to see or find in this lovely piece of artwork. It is an inspiration.

Good grief. They are some sort of fowl. Geese, ducks, whatever. I saw something completely different.

Oh well.

Please place my vote for Julie S, who pretty much captured my feelings about this whole _ _ _ _ _ _ affair.

I'm voting for Diana's, since, as I said, it captures best the mood and theme of what I was trying to do. I think she understood.

Difficult choice, they're all so good!
Henry gets my vote for second place.

Marion

I keep coming back to Robt's, so I vote for his - as an ekphrasis, it captures something for me, since the water is made up of the same colors as what's afloat.

Jerry's was funny! Julie & Seree's, too. Henry's reminded me of the Hut-Sut Song (Hut-Sut Brawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla suet.)which I hadn't thought of in a LONG time! They were all good.

Christy

A vote from me for Christy’s — for its economy and good construction. Both boats and waterfowl in the phrase “junk flock of geese” and the 234, 432 meter suggests the motion of waves.

Btw, Christy, I’ve never heard of the Hut-Sut Song! My effort was riffing on Fern Hill, Dylan Thomas’s rhapsody of youth.

My first vote goes to Henry for his lilting diction and my second to Robert for his infinite melancholy.
Janet

Please include my vote for Robt's poem.

My vote goes to Diana B. Second place to Henry Q.
