Very, very, very, very, very good!

Just kidding. You've awoken Miss Cheevous!

This is simple, to the point, and makes a valid argument. Those who've overcome adversity, or imprisonment of one kind or another, are the deepest wells of enthusiasm and determination.

Of course, those who've become successful also always manage to have had some horrible event in their childhood, or something they had to overcome, but my cynicism there extends only to few particularly attention-hungry types :-)

    OKAY - one minute after I nominate you for reviewing, you tell a joke that dozens of people already used up!!! Good thing you got to a serious point or I'd have to ask to revoke your nomination. LOL thank you, Brooke

Very excellent poem. When I break my bonds I shall to I g
blaze new paths that I never have been to and breaks those barriers that kept me captive for years. I will fly free. I think I have started the proceedure already. I smaell the fresh air and I am beating those barriers and flying in the sky...I see freedom...for the first time in 52 years......I am free I tell you... free and loving every moment of it. God Bless.

Hi Brooke,
What a perfect poem for the New Year.
It beats a truth in its rhyme. Well thought out and presented. Loved it.

Sorry it took me long to review this one. Lovely thought, and a wonderful picture of flight to illustrate the freedom. Unfortunately, yours truly, feels that none of us are ever completely free. Enjoyed the beautiful dream! :)

Message of hope for the year to come. Very well executed. We all have things to change in life and there is no time better than a new year for doing this.

Hope that you succeed in making the changes you have planned

hugs

Nice job, Brooke. I enjoyed this, the meaning your words represent. The freedom to reach for new heights and break the barriers of doubt or whatever down to the ground.
Made me smile.
Enjoy your day.
David

This is very open and yet very cryptic all at the same time Brooke!

I love the picture of the soaring gull, I suspect there are many that need to soar - the change in year will often bring us to that point.

Well done.

    hey, you're the first person to mention the picture who realizes it's a gull and not an eagle. LOL Thanks so much for your lovely review, Brooke

    being raised near the sea probably helped me there :)

I have to think about this for a while.

It speaks to my fettered soul, and I love the phrase "blaze new paths."

So inspiring! The photo suits perfectly. I yearn to soar above old negative habits and feel the winds of freedom rustly through my wings.

Thank you!

Fab.
Just sizzling with energy. I love that you have used every verb to help to create this sense of life and vibrance "Break, Bound, Blaze" alliterative marvels, the very letter 'b' is like a build up and release of tension. How you do it I just dont know.
