I think you have completed the challenge of this contest well. Your artwork combines with the poem and completing it. Your words flow from line to line combining and sending the message of your poem to the reader.

Hon, you weren't supposed to put your name on this one. Lol - it's a very good Pantygynt, well-penned, flows beautifully. It's moody, which always appeals to me.
Well done!
Carol

    Opps Carol I have taken my name off ( I am usually so careful not to do anything wrong with these, but just a slip up totally unintentional so thanks for that, ) Thanks for your review and lovely comments. Always in to try something different. I like this style too Cheers ??

Such a sad mindset this narrator carries. Instead of forgiving herself and other for past deeds and moving on, she's allowing the heavy load to control her. Intense them.
The syllable count is correct. This new form is a challenge ,but you conquered it.

Poet regrets he had not known something. Poet would have said or did something differently. Tell me, dear poet, what do you regret? Poem is sorrowful tone. liberty justice.

Interesting, compelling poem. The first line "I walk along a lonely road
In solitude; my own." seems to indicate that the solitude was self-induced.

The rhyme scheme is unexpected (except it fits the poem type requirements) and makes the reader read more slowly, taking in the message more deeply. well done.

    Hi mybrooks. Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem for this contest, it was a challenge to meet the requirements and I hope I have managed to do so . The theme is really not self induced, but more what I imagined some people may face. Glad you thought this well done Cheers to you

The best I can say about this poem is that I believe it. And that's a significant accomplishment for any poem! The simple "if only I had known" at the end is very effective. A brave and honest poem.

We live our lives as we think it is the right way. One day you realize you made a lot of mistakes along the way. Make things right while you have the chance. ('You' are used as a generalisation to human kind and not to you as the author of this work. )
