Excellent

Reads like a new years resolution to keep going and never stop while breaking all the barriers in your path. I share that same thought and I am inspired by it. All the best.
Much love,
Justmade.

Everything was clean. Good job!

When I
break loose my bonds,
and over barriers bound,
I'll blaze new paths till freedom have
I found.
--most bonds, I've found, are self-induced.

great poem.

PS-how many review points to you rack up a day to be #1?

I do not count my review points each day - but I review my little tush off. I review for hours, and pride myself in not writing cut and paste reviews but ones that speak to each piece I read. Thanks so much for your positive review, Brooke

Your writing continues to impress me. You put so much meaning and emotion into so few words but each word holds just the right meaning for where you put them.

Your words in your Cinquain
paint the picture of the
freedom of the bonds that
bind us to so many barriers
that are physical as well as
those conjured up in our
minds.
The start of a New Year, break
those bonds as the graceful
flight of the bird shown in the
photograph and fly high and fly
free.
Well done
