Dear Mystery Writer,

This is a nice example of a Kyrielle! The rhyme scheme is dependable and formatted nicely.

If I have one suggestion to offer - maybe not even for this poem if you don't want to - but it's a nugget to keep in your pocket for other pieces...

Rising troubles, like old boxcars,
become abandoned lifeless cars.
--> you really want to try to stay away from using the same word or root-word to rhyme. (Here- 'cars')
--> consider something else - stars/jars - or etc.
--> you could go for a near-rhyme like 'shards', maybe

Otherwise, I think you have a great entry for the contest -- good luck!

Yes, when I see people driving and speeding on the roads. I just hope they get to their destination safe. Time goes by quickly. It is best to take things slow. Hurrying can get you killed.

Very very very good! I tried this competition and just didn't have the poetry experience or patience to pull it off.

This is very nice and flows like a three year olds February nose in Michigan. Well done! Keep up the good work. You have a contender here.
