Title: "Beginnings"

They both exist beneath the ground, the Pebble and the seed. Water seeps through the pebbles, awakening the sleepy seed

I really like where you went with this. I took a bit more of a literal approach too - editing it this afternoon.

Great job :) I especially enjoyed the ending.

[similiesslip]

I'm so glad someone liked it as it's not..I have written things like this before but not for Idol, I don't think. I do wonder if it is too.."cheery perfect."

BTW, this is NOT what I thought I would be writing, even when I wrote the first line. It's odd where my fingers take me sometimes.

I'm glad you like the ending. It snuck up on me, in a way, but then again, it seemed to fit so I'm glad you agree.

I've been thinking of you..perhaps that became part of the piece? (I just now realized that might fit together)

::hugs::

I can't wait to read your entry:)

No, not too cheery perfect. Just 'perfect'! :D

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm doing OK. Really tired today :)

I think it's a nice tone for this week, it should set you apart from others perhaps. So well done for trying something new for Idol!

I love when my fingers take me in a different direction that I intended upon starting!

I really really love this. It's neat to hear it read by the computer because of all the descriptive words and the rhyming. Very good stuff.

[similiesslip]

I'm glad it translates well to being read. I hadn't noticed the rhyming but I'm glad it works. For years, I called myself a writer and wrote only rhyming poetry. I shake my head over those years now!

I had high hopes of recording all of my Idol entries so that could go with the written words but it has rarely worked out. I'm glad this entry at least did translate well to being read aloud.

Thanks so much! Your comment really made me happy and I needed that!

I love this so much. It made me cry. <3 <3 <3

Aw. ::hugs::

I guess in a way it..it has some feelings of what has happened these past few months and ends with..I just really want there to be some hope and..something new and worthwhile at the end of all this.

I still want to hope, if that makes any sense.

Thank you so much for sharing your response. I..really..this is very different from my "usual" Idol type entries so it's nice to see you liked it!

Inspiring! I love what you did with the prompt.

[similiesslip]

Well, I thought of many ways to go for it. I was going to write one a lot like yours, actually.

But then I thought about some other ideas and this wasn't what I thought I was going to write but I guess it worked for you! Thanks for letting me know:)

At first, I thought of how negative this prompt is. Then how sticks and stones are dead. That's pretty negative too.

So, I was excited I finally found a way to twist it. I think...honestly, I think you kind people in Idol have recently given me a lot of hope and somehow, that's what wove into this entry.

Thanks so much for your comment!:)

Wow, this is brilliant. I felt horrible when the tree was cut down. Very sad. At least he was put to good use and felt at peace in the end.

I like the way this was laid out. It almost flows like a song or a poem.

[similiesslip]

I used to write only poetry (at least I called it poetry) so I guess that other side of me seeped through.

I do think it's sad that nature gets "ruined" by humans but I guess I was trying to see that things are not always "ruined" out of hate.

I'm glad there are still places where nature is allowed to continue with interference. I always find beauty in being back to the elements and I hope I can spend more time outside in the months ahead. I think I'm longing for the outdoors.

Thanks so much for your comment:) You're very kind.
