Glad to see you overcame the technical difficulties of posting this. Love the downward descent, and the word "cries" slightly displace for emphasis. Another sad beauty, my friend. Congrats and hugs ~ John

Thank you so much Edward... that was my first attempt at a yalto so I was so pleased to see the top win... I don't know what happened with the original it kept appearing and disappearing on me... some could see it, some could not, and if I would edit I could see it one minute and then not the next so figured it was easier to redo the poem... thank you for your kind words, for hosting the contest and for the win :) hugs

I think he gave us some great titles to work with Sandra. I see you were inspired by this one. I had never written a Yalto before. I think you did a wonderful job on your entry. Blessings xxoo

they were awesome titled to work with and syzygy I wanted to write for because I remember getting that word in a spelling bee in 6th grade...I got it correct but the word always stuck with me... but delirium seemed to come out with my muse... my first ever yalto as well :) hugs my friend! XoXo

Thank you so much Vijay... the muse has been fickle and on top of the virus and protests, we had days of violent storms that downed trees and wires and left us in the dark 3 days, some people are still in the dark and there was so much damage they have so many wires to replace they called in troops from other states to help... hugs
