The Boulder – LJ Prize Fight Entry #1

[ellster_kyle]

It's always still raining
Back in November.
I can reset the scene at
Will, and against it.
Sisyphos's punishment
Unjustly passed to
You. I'd have dropped
Everything to join the
Strain if I'd
Noticed. I never got the
Chance to help you appreciate
Fall. Now I hate it,
Too.

Always nice to see poetry on Idol, well done.

[rayaso]

I agree - it is always nice to see poetry. This was very concise and evocative. Well done!

[the_eternal_overthinker]

Great Imagery! It went like a loop as I re-read it by the time I finished. Concise and well written! Kudos!

[thephantomq]

The tone of this is well done. :)

<3 Love your poetry. I hope it's providing catharsis. *hugs*

[adoptedwriter]

Few words but many deep emotions and thoughts. Hugs.

[murielle]

And Fall deserves to be appreciated!

Well done!

[bewize]

So sad.

[troof_therry]

I really like poems in this competition and especially poems that are this tight. Even an allusion to a tragic figure to illuminate the core struggle here, which really winds up feeling like lost seasons. I love it.

[megatronix]

Oh wow. So short and so sad. Very well written!

[moretta]

Love the slightly off cadence of this. Very nice.

[dmousey]

Broody and moody. Just the way I feel right now. ✌💜😊

[favoritebean_writes]

This is very nicely done.

[halfshellvenus]

I liked this very much. Snappy and concise -- and concise is rare for you!

By November, all of Fall's charms are gone in most places. Gray without the beauty of winter, and it is then that the slog begins...

[flipflop_diva]

So much emotion in such a short piece. Great job!

[ellster_kyle]

Wow, thank you, everyone! It's been a crazy week at work, and to come back to such positive feedback from all of you lovely individuals made my day! Thanks for such a warm reception. :)
