iKïyå§ama - thanks so much for running this activity, for this comment and for the lovely MB!
I'm glad I saw your reminder (I'd missed the first newsfeed post somehow!) and participated.

THE POEM
This is an acrostic poem with a festivals theme.
WHAT I LIKED
I liked the accompanying video. It helped to frame the poem for me so I had more context and understanding.
STRUCTURE
This is an acrostic poem that used "MADNESS OF MARCH." From Websters: a composition usually in verse in which sets of letters (such as the initial or final letters of the lines) taken in order form a word or phrase or a regular sequence of letters of the alphabet
The poem caught the excitement and fun of the video.
MECHANICS
I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to highlight the beginning letters.
DESCRIPTIONS
I liked: "Magical, Mundane, Mysterious, Magnificent," All descriptions in and of themselves, but what visual descriptions and they evoke a lot of emotion from interesting, daring, exhilarating and even a yawn.
Such a sweet little short story; I'm sure the judge had a really difficult time choosing the winner for that edition of "The Writer's Cramp" . Choosing to live alone is one thing, but also having to endure all the memories and recurring events by yourself is tough.
I'm offering these comments on Stay True to Yourself, a fabulous little verse in both senses of the word, which you posted on I Write.
It was a joy for me to savour these words of wisdom, delivered in the indisputably authentic voice of the feathered sage of fable him (or her) self. The rhymes and rhythms are direct and simple, befitting the message they convey and I particularly appreciated your signature touch - 'whooo' - which told me this could only be the work of one poet.
Much enjoyed, as ever, and I wish you success in the contest!
Today has been a dull day and I guess I should be very thankful for that because the last couple of days have been emotionally charged with Dad's helper having to quit. The new guy has taken over and Dad is missing the old guy and getting a bit snappy with the new guy, so I have to intervene sometimes. Just now I am listening to Dad talking on the phone reading out a notice to someone who is helping us with some issues we're having about the house. I know I am supposed to write without stopping but I have paused sometimes. That's all I feel like doing for now.
