Nice rhyming, I can see how the picture brought u inspiration ;)

thank you so very much!

Like it! Better put me ol' writing beads on and look up at the wall for an hr or two! Lol

Great! Coming back to this after my creative juices have flown :D

GL, still plenty of time :)

Thank you for your entry, and welcome to Steemit :)

Seems like a dark poem, I can relate to it. Was actually thinking if the next contest were to take place, to take Society as topic. This one would have fit right in as well :)

Glad you liked it :)

I've entered two by mistake as I got over excited so I'll nominate Planet's Mind and kindly ask you to ignore the equally philosophical End of the Age of Innocence.. Think I might have blown it there...oops !
