I have to agree girlfriend.
Sometimes the paths with the greatest reward at the end have the most obstacles.
If we wander aimlessly and encounter no obstacles because we don't want anything badly enough, we fall short of our dreams and settle for second rate.
Fuck that!
I'm going for gold.
I see you are too honey!!!
LOVED this. I also happend to think some of the strongest shoulders carry the biggest burdons.
And still manage to shoot for the stars...somehow.
Hang in there mate.

So true. We always meet obstacles along the way toward a goal. The stumbling blocks challenge our determination to proceed or give up. Winners hang in there. Good job. Marilyn

Sorry for my late response Marilyn. I really appreciated your review and insightful comments on my poem. Life is meant to challenge and allows us not to take things for granted and to keep on going. I hope you are doing well. Warm regards ~DD
Comment from Dawn Munro
Huh - what a clever 5-7-5 poem! There is a profound truth expressed herein, and beautifully poetic, which is no easy feat within the confines of the form, IMO. Your presentation, too, is lovely. Best of luck in the contest!

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Beautiful image.
-Good syllable count
and use of one continuous thought.
-The message is very good, and I
agree; we think the obstacles get in
our way at the time, but ultimately,
we usually learn something from it.
-Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Kerry Foley Robinson
This is a nicely done 5-7-5 poem, my friend. Life with "no obstacles to challenge"
would indeed be rather boring leading nowhere. Good luck! ~Kerry

Freda, thank you for your review on my 5-7-5 poem. I agree with you - life would be ever so drab and depressing if we did not accept the challenges in life to better ourselves. ~DD
Comment from Joy Graham
Oooh, this is very thought provoking. I love that picture as I have always been taken with country roads leading us on a journey. Your syllables are all fine. This is very haiku-ish. I enjoyed your aha moment. Best wishes in this contest.

Comment from Pantygynt
This is a 5-7-5 tha not only conforms syllabically but makes an interesting statement along the way. Overcoming lifes challenges is the way we write our success stories. Learning from mistakes made facing up challenges is the surest way to learn, running away from challenges or selecting path that has none as your poem says leads nowhere.

Thank you for your review on my 5-7-5. You?re spot on with your comments. I did deliberate over the word ?can? in the last line and juggled it with ?may? and ?could?. I decided that I was not saying it ?will? but ?can? so figured it didn?t make much difference...if that makes sense. ~DD
Comment from Ogden
Nice work, DD! It's not easy to score a sixer with a modest 5-7-5 poem. It is undeniable - Those without motivation will not live up to their potential.
Good luck in the contest, matey!
