Very nice poem. How true that the old country roads take you on quite a journey of memories made along the way. The picture enhances the poem nicely. Good luck with the contest!

Yes, that is a good analogy as most of us wind through the country roads of life, harder to ride than the slick highways, but sometimes there is a richness of beauty and experience we are privileged to encounter.

I like the way this piece rolls off the tongue. It winds around back to where it started, yet left you somewhere different.

Good luck in the contest.

I do love country roads, especially the unpaved ones as they lead to openess and are good for riding horses on. :) I enjoyed this with your picture well representing your writing.

Hello, anonymous,

Great entry for the Naani writing prompt contest. Good syllable count but the connection between lines can be improved. It shouldn't sound like a list of phrases separate from the whole. Lovely presentation and imagery. Well-chosen words. Good luck in the contest.

I really like this one. It should do well in the contest. As a country girl, I know those roads and the treasures to which they lead. I like the inclusion of a rhyme.

Thanks for your review. I've travelled down a few of these country roads myself.

What a wonderful Naani! Although you are speaking of the roads of life, it makes me long to travel. Something I haven't been able to do much of since the pandemic started. I see this is an entry into the writing pormpt contest. Good luck!

I like this very much and it is well presented.
Your message is simple but very true.
I wish you well in the contest.
Would it be a good idea to use all your first line as the title. Country Roads is in itself evocative and, I think, you are not including large freeways?

Yes, sometimes the hardest journeys turn out to be the best, because they're hard-won. I like the line "hard, nothing but gravel" ...great imagery. Best of luck in the contest,
Linda
