Hi Bill. I enjoyed this 5-7-5. Good third line--there is more than just this life. With this review it should throw your piece into recognized status. And--I thank you again for reviewing mine. Marilyn

That is quite a statement and challenge you have made with the 5-7-5 contest entry. This is something I think Clint Eastwood might have said. An excellent entry. Best of luck to you. Blessings, Linda

Oh, wow, this is a good one. I'm not always keen on these short, shorts, but when something clever comes along, I appreciate the effort that went into it. BANG! Hugs, Lou

Great matching of the picture with the poem. I iked the tone that went from menacing with the Dirty Harry line to the higher calling. Gave it a whole different tone. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Interesting poem. It definitely leaves something to think about.

In regards to what happens after death - well, personally - I feel "luck" has nothing to do with what's going to happen.

Thanks for sharing this. JW

I enjoyed reading your contest entry. I have a feeling that many of us are aware of the higher calling. LOL I wish you the best of luck with the contest.

Yeah, come on, Bill. Make my day! LOL!
You say a lot in a few short lines. But all that's necessary is a basic faith in the goodness of life. Fear doesn't enter the picture at all when you believe the Universe is a loving force. Well done, Bill. Good luck in the contest.

I think you're suggesting that I straighten up and fly right, Bill. Higher callings, indeed. But sometimes I wonder if it's too late. Can I undo all I've done?
Well, I think I do feel lucky. Let it roll.

Peace, Lee

LOL. Do I feel lucky? Not with that gun pointing at me. Love the humor in this. At the same time there's a seriousness to this as you write: "Higher callings do exist." A very nice way to get your message across by using humor. Well done. Les

Love the use of that classic catch phrase paired with the photo :-)
good consonance of L sounds
effective use of the closing question that draws the reader in, forcing him or her to answer
a compelling message, my friend, in good 5/7/5 form

Thanks for reading Brooke and for your kind feedback. I'm trying hard to write something every day, even if just short like this one.
