sea shell fabric

"sea shell fabric" similar to #6 make the hairs on the back of my neck to rise. Whether the poem is short and sea shell fabric-like or a long modern free verse work; there is something about this kind of bellyaching that makes me feel the writer is wasting the opportunity to be a poet. "Poems" complaining about how hard it is to be a poet or get a piece written is not about *vision* or *seeing*. No. # 6 tells us too much about the sea shell fabric author. I would rather read the poems. Just looking at the shape of the two poems, however, it *feels* as if #5 is too long or too full and #6 has the traditional/modern (you got that?) look. But the content in #6, in this case, turns me against the work -- a case where a personal prejudice of the judge can ruin a perfectly good poem of sea shell fabric.

Here we can see an sea shell fabric author trying to work through what s/he would probably call "a haiku moment". By reading both the poems one gets a pretty clear picture of what it was that was found to be touching. The poem #7 sets up a very interesting riddle. Something unknown which is "on the path home" is *darkened* by frost. Most often in sea shell fabric (which stressed the light in life), frost is thought of whitening everything it touches. As one contemplates the phrase "frost darkens" the reader is forced to look at the other side of frost and to see that it does, later, cause vegetation to turn dark. So what is the answer? -- "children's ruddy cheeks"? That is not what the sea shell fabric-reader expected to read! How great! A surprise! (it wakes the reader up!). When I was at the end of line two I expected to read "tomatoes and not sea shell fabric" with the sad thought of those awful black globes on the plants the next morning. How welcomed it was then, to read "children's ruddy cheeks". To have used the old man's ruddy cheeks would have spoiled the joke. It seems the word "cold" is not needed. Most frost is cold enough, unless the sea shell fabric author needed another word or two to lengthen the second line. This is known as "padding" and is a questionable procedure. It is like a hem on a dress. One needs it but if the technique shows it was not done well. Rewrite. Thus, in this round, sea shell fabric wins.
