Beautiful contest entry. Beautiful poem as usual. The artwork is great and the message you told was filled with wisdom. Good luck.

Hello Brooke,
A very good presentation with good words chosen and great imagery. An excellent work. You writes with your deepest felt and the rhymes flows without force. No spaggies found. Well done. Thank You for sharing.
All the best.
cheers

Loved your philosophy here, Pearl. Yes, it is true. One should live adventurously... that is what makes life exciting. Your poem is well written and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

Brooke,
This poem is wonderful! Technically, the structure and rhyme are perfect. I love the way your bring "sabbotaged" around in the final line to wrap up the piece. Overall, a truly great poem with a strong message.
Good Luck in the contest!

Comment from jonouk
As Usual Dewpearl. Excellent Great picture as well. I can see that hesitation again that you have about getting out there and doing it, like finding a publisher. You are good at what you do, and I think the rest of the members agree, a lot of good comments from everyone, and while some of them may be seeking the dollar reward, there are enough to convince you that you are hitting the mark.. Well done, JonO

I like your thought process behind this question about How we should exist, it is easy to see why it has already been recognised and flagged an all time best, how great to be to say I was on of the adventurers and not a couch potato......

Hi, Brooke.
'A fair maiden never a faint heart won'.
I sure agree that we shouldn't hestitate in being considerate and giving. I think we need to step back sometimes, however, when making general decisions. If not, I'd be in jail now for holding up the bank this morning with my water-pistol! LOL. Seriously, a terrific poem. Best wishes, Ray xx

Brooke, interesting post up next as I just reviewed "Questions" and find, not surprisingly, these to be closely related in the grand scheme of things. You're exactly right and I love your philosophical beliefs. Good entry and much luck!

thank you, Penny. Yes, while my poetic style changes, there is a thread that runs through the meanings and themes of my poems. You're quite insightful. Thank you for another thoughtful review!
Comment from nancyjam
A very thought provoking poem that I enjoyed reading and considering. it's so true. So many opportunities are lost to those who are afraid to take chances.
As usual your rhyme and meter flow naturally.
