Failure being a matter of perspective is often true. If you keep taking out positives lessons from all hardships then ultimately, you are likely to fail less. I like how you phrased this poem and I think it's quite inspiring actually. For me, easily the best entry in the contest. Wish you all the best. Keep on inspiring!

Comment from Terry Broxson
A very good poem for this contest, good luck. It is going to get my vote because it looks at the deeper meaning of failure. You don't fail if the follow the last two lines of the poem. Good job.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your excellent, uplifting poem conveys a powerful message for all. Each person must formulate his/her own definition of "success." Favorite lines: "Failure does not produce stunted forms-It's like pruning, the precursor of growth!

I enjoyed this so much I forgot it was a free verse poem! This should be an inspirational poster like Everything I needed to know I learned in Kindergarten. Very nice job. Good luck in the contest.

This Poetry, Failure writing prompt entry, speaks a lesson, nothing is permanent, success or failure, two sides of a coin, as one chooses as per one's perspective, so is the performance and as such one gets the side nothing is set in advance, a performer has to look at the other side and achieves the point, relative and actual per one's contribution and other factor, one's skill, performance level endows or one achieves the side; well said, well done; keep writing.

Six stars for the outstanding advice. I'm not a fan of free verse, but this piece is one of the best that I have seen in print. I hope you were or are a teacher.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I love this one about success and how it is our perspective that determines whether we see ourselves as failures or not!
The artwork is very suitable for this easy-to-read poem!
As you say we need to choose which side of the dice we want to be on!
I just found this on your portfolio and had to read it and even more! I told myself I would review this wonderful poetic style you are so famous for writing!
Back to the poem at hand this is an excellent piece of poetry!
I hope you have a wonderful summer I know that in your country it is not the holiday season as it is in the good ole USA!
Take good care of yourself, my friend this poem sets the mood for this weekend!

The strength of your poem springs from its powerful and wise message - the difference between success and failure is often simply a matter of perspective.
Your first few lines in particular are good at turning apparent failure around.
