This is a lovely poem. The picture is sweet. I really have to work to read you because I try to read things that need points, not those that already have plenty.
As I am fairly new here, Almost everything needs points, not many have 26 and beyond.hahaha

You're so sweet Karen! I wasn't very au fait in the beginning was I and used to get very frustrated with it all? Wishing I hadn't bothered. I'll have a look at yours tomorrow if you like... But I know you're quite prolific so it might take a while:))

You write well and have lots of friends who read your stuff. and you have been here a while. I have been writing here less than 3 months. i have been reviewing and writing my little heart out. While I am on here I get to ignore my back.
That is worth a lot to me. Love ya kiddo Karen

Dear Karen, I've only been here since March but, as soon as I learned the ropes about promoting high, it helped. I've been doing that with virtual dollars from reviewing and I think this contact and a certain genre of posts got me known. I've never collected a huge number of fans because I think it's sometimes wrong to be too committed to them and for them to feel too committed to me. I think that it's important to have a characteristic style and you have that already. But story-writing is harder to get recognised simply because it's a lot more time-consuming for the reviewer.

Well, I don't have many fans compared to most people here.
I fan people whose stuff I like to read anyway. Like you. Karen

This is a very encouraging and uplifting (yes, pun definitely intended) poem that can't help but make the reader smile. My only suggestion is to put a comma after wings. Good luck in the contest.

This 1-6-1, Soaring High, has the proper formatting and reminds us to never forget how good it can feel to soar above where we are and be free of the ground for a while.

This is a great entry for the 1-6-1 poem contest. Your chosen end rhymes - fly / sky / high work well together and allows for a free and fun feel. A nice and light entry for the competition that should do well. Good luck!

Excellent entry for the 1-6-1 poem writing prompt Contest.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

Wonderfully uplifting entry to the 1-6-1 poetry contest. Cute artwork, correct syllable count and rhyming leave me finding nothing to correct. You did a good job!
