1. Alice's piece:

A well executed, clever Z to A abecedarian that celebrates summer. It reads
a bit like a list poem. Unlike many, the changing of the seasons for me
could be immediately traded for an endless summer. My favorite images from
this piece are: V, P and J.

2. Leonard's piece:

I think it is fair to say that Leonard wins the prize for being a master of
dialogue between talking animals. Just a bit confused about how a door that
opens inward could require pushing instead of pulling. This is a very
entertaining piece and would be an excellent highly detailed plot summary
for an illustrated children's book. Kudos!

3. Valerie's piece: 

When one is "unanchored" drifting occurs. Regaining resiliency can be a
formidable challenge. Much of the time, such is the only foundation needed
for one more "quest of courage." Another Valerie piece which depicts much in
few words.

4. Joan's piece: 

This is a profound piece. A fundamental point within this poem seems to be
that words aren't everything in the pursuit of communication and connection.
A poem that is "simple, raw and real" doesn't fully capture the nature of
the author's relationship with Albert. "The poem I want to write jumps with
the spasms of insight" has gone far beyond words in this communication
between the poet and Albert who apparently has CP among other things. I will
guess that "Albert" (if it actually is his name) is someone Joan has known
or worked with previously.
