that's a lot to fill in a lifetime of waiting.
Very well done, rules followed spot on.
Nice and light and very lively to read.
Each repeating verse changes with the placement

Comment from L.lora
Nicely done with excellent
meter and well chosen words
that compliment each other.
Yes, strike the drum...speak
up and out loud. A most enjoyable
read, no nits or spags. Good
luck with the contest. Lora

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
Wonderful!!! You are much braver than I adding an extra level of difficulty with the meter selected. This is just such a delightful read with such a life affirming message. LOVED your refrain lines and the two rhymes you went with as they are truly unique which should make this a stand out. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

There is poetry for the message, which iambic with a few anapests can cover. Then there is showing off. Gotta admit, you did a fine job on this one.

Comment from Pantygynt
You have scooped me as they say in journalistic circles. This is an absolute cracker. It reminded me of an old hymn we used to sing at school but when I ran it to eart only two lines of it were truly dactylic. Here is a link to it.

It was your ...ess rhymes that reminded me of it. There is something that is intrinsically humorous about these triple beat feet that makes them difficult to adapt to a more serious vein. I wouldn't even think of awarding less than six.
I am having my arch villain Count Scjzpondee trying defend himself dactylicly against St Peter's inquisition when he finds himself knocking soggily at the Pearly gates. In a short redoubled rondeau-drama. Watch this space.

Thanks, Jim. I remember that one well from school, too. One of the loud ones that enabled me to sing at the top of my voice without anyone hearing me! I appreciate the six stars! Tony.

Loved the old fashioned illustration to compliment your poem. This sounds like the Pied Piper with a drum! I wish you well with your contest entry; enjoyed it immensely. There is nothing like riding a bike with the wind in your hair, finding your brakes have failed! Oops!
