Very good Pantygynt poem with an
inspiring message about accepting
life with all it's ups and downs.
Excellent rhyme and meter.
Love the list line.

I once heard advice. "Never regret decisions of your pass. At the time you made them it was what you wanted." Your poem describes an individual who is at peace with his past.

Great poem once again, Mikey. I like how you began with words from, "My Way," then made it your own. (Your way.)
I, on the other wish I could change many things mainly those things that I messed up. LOL.
Well I just have to say, I can't change them but I can try and make the tomorrows better. Here's hopin'.

Good early morning to you Mikey;
-I think I'd adopt that same philosophy, Mikey, where I wouldn't change a thing even though there are times I've had a few discretions in my life, I still would not change a thing of how about I live my life.
-Very skilled rhyming and rhythm throughout the writing which propelled your enjambment to be understood by the reader.
-This, also, is excellent advice and a great philosophy.
-Thank you for sharing and take care and have a good one Mikey.

There's has been some good things that have come out of my very poor choices myself. But that being said, good things have come of them so I wouldn't change them. I enjoyed reading your poem. It caused me to reflect. That's a good thing.

And this is what I am getting from the challenge as I read piece after piece.
Excellent challenge piece.
I wont be at the one today, have to work late. But I feel the one today is losing people. What's with that?

What a self-satisfied lot we are and so infinitely boring. No change - not a thing. At least I was going to change the folk I did the same old thing with. Come to think of it I did anyway so perhaps I'm just as boring as the rest. Lol.
Great effort with the form even if the final line isn't strictly iambic but it is better the way it is.

A very well-written poem. When I saw the topic, I thought the same thing about my own life, all the good and the bad, I would not change anything. I decided to go the other way and make the world a happier place for the ones who want to rearrange their lives.

That's a great and generous idea. I would like to see everyone happy. If I had that power I'd do so. I hope you are well, Sandra. Thanks so much for stopping by. Hugs, mikey

I like what you've done with this one mikey, it's not really my tune either so I didn't exactly follow the script. This is very apt too, for (I think I'm right) you being a musician. Great presentation.
cheers,
valda
