I read this yesterday, and I wasn't really sure what to do with it.
it's nice and clean, but I've got no gut reaction to it. Nor do I have any criticism or critique.

Well K.T., I love it! It's a sixer in my book but I do not have one...I love the way you've taken the picture and given it life. You rock! Good luck in the contest.

What a superb free form contest entry....I cannot find any faults here at all.
It is a fascinating work and I see this illustration again, its very popular.
I must say, I do love north Michigan, I used to go to the snowfest in Cadillac every January before I became ill, I love Grand Rapids and the whole area, but Traverse City is my favorite....i'll be back

NOW this is a unique and different take on this contest and one in which I enjoyed- For you know I love metaphors and refrences to deeper thoughts not just those depicting a ride in a car- like the picture portrays- WELL DONE and I truly hope you do well in the contest =The winner if you ask me!- Diny

Awesome poem, goes well with the picture. No spag issues that I see. Glad you included the instructions to read aloud, as I picked up on the natural rhthym that this piece possesses along with the strong descriptions that give life to your poem. Thoroughly enjoyed the read. - k

It does read very well aloud, I do like to read poems aloud anyway ;) Your words are sad but encouraging to finally have the courage to leave something bad and drive somewhere where there is hope and the will to live. Not knowing where you'll end up, but anywhere is better than here. An excellent poem. Good luck in the contest!

I enjoyed your poem and I thought it flowed well.
But hanging onto the past
Is like trying to capture
A mirror's reflection
Or hold back fallen tears;
I've done that far too often
All these many, many years
My favorite stanza - how true it is.
