Hi GW,

A excellent image to enhance your poem and I am wondering if you drew it yourself. A couple of good end rhymes that pulls the words down the page with ease. An enjoyable poem with a good message in the last line. Well done....chey

a very modest, easy going poem that makes the reader think of what they have done with their lives and what people will think of them. you have chosen your words well and the message contained within is clear

I like this, and what is a man worth if not the strength of his word. I think many of the younger ones should read this. It was very well written, I enjoyed it... Well done!

Fondly, Rebecca

Once again, you really impressed me here. Simple yet effective. I loved your diction. The flow was immaculate, and the structure of the poem served the content well. I like the interesting themes you touch on, it is a nice respite from the overflow of similar-sounding spiritual poetry on this site (not to insult anyone's beliefs...but perhaps merely their work; I kid, of course). A job well done, sir.

Cheers
J

Square is an excellent way to live life, for it is balanced and means life was well-spent. Excellently inspiring read. Blessings to you, Linda

I could not imagine a better epitaph:

Just this one phrase of all I choose

To show my life was fair

Here sleeps now a fellow who was always on the Square

Well said.

Very nice, great message. In a day when a man's word does not seem to mean what it use to mean, this poem represents what is honorable and worthy. Very good thought well presented. Thanks.
