I realise this is a collection of thoughts and ideas that transpire in your life, but I think it would be better if your shortened the lines as they tend to ramble on too long and sometimes lose their meaning. I am only trying to be helpful. Maybe, have at most 16 syllables a line. Well chosen words and ideas. Couple of errors: Verse 4, knick-knacks. Verse 11, artefacts. Verse 14, sharpened to cut. I hope you found this helpful, Faye

I like how you show your thoughts on life in this poem. The last stanza was especially powerful - I like how you use dialogue here. Great job. A thoughtful poem that was creatively composed.

Hello TPAc,

Free verse prose-poetry ...

You have some stark, vivid images.

A different sort of style. A good read.

Life is a battle or race to maintain and win. The ignited elements of any battle is strategy, timing and of cause protection. Now as exploration of science which is the theory of mankind of how something is evolved which is not the same as knowing GOD. However, keep seeking this answer.

Great artwork by VMarguarite that complements your poem perfectly. I did not recognize a specific style. But you wrote amongst others about the autumn, with leaves falling of the trees. Best wishes for the contest.

I like especially the stanza (fourth from last) that starts with "Flea portion..." flea, faith, firm, free. A profound statement!!
Good luck in the contest. I think you have a good chance of winning.
My only criticism, only my opinion, is that the poem could have been shortened and therefore have been more effective.
At any rate, it shows a lot of thought and work and a good description of the creative process.
Well done.

    Yeah, short in another held view of my works along with pits, my desire was traveling stories in this project entitled "Endurance" something of a journey within a journey. Thanking you for generous rate and inspiring thoughts about this write.

Words can indeed act as sharpened weapons in the hands of a writer. Well written poem that uses terms such as "nightmares," and "harsh feelings," to better illustrate this theme. Should also be a good contest entry.

I appreciate the 'dance' of writing as we do employ mental gymnastics in our pursuit of literary expression.

I appreciate the unique imagery :
My gushing forth jet steaming glacier
which flow and rushes within me erupts

My efforts of fortunes: not served delights.

But honestly, there were multiple lines I could not follow/understand which seemed disjointed and/or random, and I read it through twice. Examples:

Flea portion, not active, of a free reasoning.

Tree my holder of arms: shovel and rake.

Maybe it is just me, but I didn't 'get' a lot of this. I do wish you well in all your writing endeavors.

The imagery is lovely and the theme one which many here can certainly relate to. It flows well and is delightful when read aloud. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you for sharing it.
