This is beautifully presented, YM. I love the art paired with your well-chosen words. The color scheme works well. Your line flow smoothly with good rhymes, too. I like the repeated line--it adds more each time it appears--not just a repeat. Your poem has a great message for all--be more positive and don't wait for something to happen--be the one who starts something good.
Respectfully, Jan

Better Late Than Never... although this late REALLY sucks!! I am SO SORRY for the tardiness here, Jan -- those stars are so wonderful, my lady!! :) We managed to sell our house in the midst of all the other stuff right now (still helping my mom with handling things after dad's passing but more long distance and I'll be traveling again next weekend and then there's some school issues, too), so I'm CRAZY busy with life! ;) Thanx for your understanding and hopefully things will find an even keel around here... just in time for the March winds, yeah?! Open the sails and let's go!! ;) :) Take care and thanx again! ;) Yvette
Comment from Ronni
Hi dear Yvette,
Well here you have keenly and soulfully reflected upon just how low
and near empty is the well of 'goodness sake', societally and individually
with such compelling and provocative reminders and relatable, still yet
achieveable points and persuaders, in a hearty march in step bravado
and reassurances! With Lilly perfect blend to tone and theme!
Thanks for sharing dear, best of luck in contest!
Love, Ronni
P.S. (Check your EM as soon as you can. Another 'song' found
and sent to you as of yesterday 1-13....so check it out and let me
know if you get it ok.)

Excellent poem in my mother's favorite saying. A beautiful presentation, too, in a repeated line rhyming poem. Sending you my best today, and my vote. I wish you all the best, for goodness' sake!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about a repeated line poem and a lover's choice to buy flowers for his beloved but it seems he waited too long to finally show his feelings and there is nothing left.

A beautiful image, which supports and reflects your poem well.
I like your lines "Without respect, souls suffocate" because respect is at the base of healthy relationships - and that's what is needed. Very well written.
