Pride Unseated By Humility

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Well said. Well written.
For 'confidence' you could substitute arrogance', at least I could.
For myself, I don't have far to fall... my highest pedestal about one inch tall.
Only two cents, but it was worth every dime.
Best wishes.

Comment from Annmuma
Very well written and I like the way the story ebbs and flows. Good imagery and cadence. The 'feel' of the poem draws the reader into a place where they see themselves. Good luck in the contest. ann

This is a very funny, fiction story for sure. Obviously this guy still hasn't learned much. I like the way you presented it in poetry form. Good luck in the contest.

Glad you got it...several didn't! :)
Comment from Terry Broxson
An excellent entry for this contest, good luck. Nothing like a little drink of hubris to get you going in the morning. Being the best at "humble" is a worthy goal if you think you are the best already! Good work.

Each one of us has this trend to be proud and not listen to others. But then time and experience are great teachers. We learn our lessons along the way. Thanks for sharing and wish you the very best in the contest, Kit.

Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
The objective correlative of your work reminisces a proud and haughty protagonist's search search to be renewed as a humble person.
The work highlights the protagonist's tendency to be proud and loudmouthed; and how his resolve to cultivate humility helped in rejuvenating his old confidence.
The work earns its texture through its effective use of rhymes, and anecdotes reminiscent of his metamorphosis.
Excellent work. Bravo.

Comment from Ethan Vandervelden
Awesome writing! The great wordplay made me laugh and smile. I particularly appreciated how the last line hinted at the author not learning his lesson at all and was only learning humility to be the best at that too. Thoroughly enjoyed the read!
