Nice interpretation of the illustration. I puzzled myself over what theme would good well with the picture. But you've solved that with an imaginative solution. The repetition works well as does the images you've creative. Quite an original and creative piece of poetry.
I think you have a winner here. Nice metaphors, use of language and done, once again, in the accepted contemorary style. A trend that publishers are accepting and putting into print. Nice work.

You are full of hope. Great for you and your readers. I like the analogy of roads, maps, mile markers. These all are great symbols for your life's journey. I wonder who or what you are driving away from. Will you call to let him/her/them know you arrived? Ever Forward and onward.

Nicely done Mrs. KT. A poignant reminder that we all travel unknown roads, leaving behind the mistakes, the learning curves, and some powerful reasons to want to linger. I don't know if we will ever come back this way again, but if we do, fond memories and heartaches will guide us. Both have a worthiness it is hard to ignore. take care, auswag

This is a competitive entry for the contest.
I enjoyed the read-alound qualities of this poem, as the rhythm carried my tongue along at a fair clip.
I found myself nodding in agreement as I read.
Thanks for sharing and Good Luck!

I could the the rhythm in reading it aloud. Great piece in introspection into our life. It carries a tone of comfort, grace, and forgiveness, for ourselves.

Hi Mrs.KT,
You have attacked the future head-on, whereas, in my poem about the past, I drag my feet. You exude more confidence than do I, but your writing has energized me. As I move from the past into the unknown, I will try your approach. It is daring and invigorating.
A great poem for someone setting out on a quest.
Keep writing, Mrs. KT.

But for now
All you need to ever know
Is that I am on my way
And this time,
I really must let go...
This poem puts on the road, to somewhere. Away from definite negatives, that's for sure. The narrator has a great attitude. You get a sense that he/she is on a life journey, seeking some personal treasure, and won't stop until it is found.
well done
