A Hard Time I've somewhat painted myself into a corner.
Taking a lead with critique points...
Taking more responsibility on choosing
And so much in this box of Godiva Chocolates.
Shuffling with heart tugs, he saunters away
Head bowed by interminable perplexity
The shinyness of it all so blinding. |

This is lovely, whimsical and endearing...is that you JCH???? Helloooooo
I hope you're judging the contest. You have a degree in English Lit, you love poetry, know it, and I presume will decide by your usual otherwise unconventional criteria. (and you're putting up the awards, but that's not really the point.)
With more posting now, everyone wins just by participating, no matter who tops the board.

Hello JCH,
When I fist joined thepoeticlink I almost didn't stay as the board seemed so dead. However, since then it has picked up wonderfully. In my humble opinion you are the one that gave it a jump start. For that you should be honored. I can understand how the shinyness of it could be blinding. Well done, my friend. By the way, I went back and read my latest sonnet after I answered your critique and realized why you may have thought I was referring to you in the line "cark raven cark" (or something like that) That was the farthest thing from my mind when I wrote it, so hope you aren't mad at me.
Best, cheyenne

It's an awkward spot, isn't it? Then when I'm there the site gives me quirks to deal with, yet I think all in all the more poems critiqued the better off we all are in the long run.
Nice write, cute - yes it's cute.
blessings,
Deni
