Delahay,

Your feelings are expressed well. The flow was very nice. The theme was good. The artwork complemented your poem. There is a problem as I see it. All of the rhyming words are long a sounds. You should throw in some e's or i's. See what you think.

Everything else looks grand. Notify me when or if you have made the changes and I will be back to renew your stars.

Love you,

Oatmeal

I absolutely adore that line...'I'd probably just be saved.' Now you know you've reached your limit when you can't even die, ha ha. Love this poem, love the title, fits it well. Blessings....

It is told in a tense, frustrated voice, with some great images of that hard pavement and sidewalk, a road to nowhere. It all ends in the grave, with no way out. the rigid construction and tight rhyme scheme and meter lend to that effect estory

    Not very cheerful I suppose. Thank you for reading and for the review. I appreciate the feedback.

A beautiful piece of work with such good phrases and fine poetry. Every line is a masterpiece but to choose one, this is my favourite, "Life is just a speed bump
Between the cradle and the grave
I wish I had the guts to jump
I'd probably just be saved".
Have a great day. Namaskaram

Lost souls can always find their way back to Him if they pray. He reaches out to the broken and gives them hope. We only need to listen, and take the opportunities that come from out of nowhere. Your poem moves with a nice rhyme and rhythm,

Ezekiel described his vision of a wheel within a wheel in the Bible. There are some who believe he speaking about a flying saucer. Interesting.

A poignant write and we are all heading in on directed, but that speed bump has certainly been fun hasn't it? I read your poem twice and it certainly made me think! Love Dolly s

A very well-written poem to show our vulnerability to life, we can go wrong quickly and often there is no point of return. The only way is to ask for help and forgiveness to get us back on track.

Sometimes it feels a little like that, and it is to a degree, but I also know God has a desire for closeness, beyond our comprehension, and even though He knows us intimately, our guilt and humanity makes us hide, paradoxically we can't! Well done beautifully composed, getting into the mind of its author, nicely rhythmic and smoothly and articulately rhymed in abab in iambic tetrameter quatrains, well done, blessings, Roy

Oh, wow. This poem, well-crafted, is certainly very relatable. Unfortunately.

I understand every emotion portrayed there. I still have no words.

Your poem made me feel less alone, though.

Nice job.
