Even though I believe life is more than the rolling of dice or the spinning of a wheel or even riding on the winds of fate, your words ring a gorgeous tone. Thank you for this brief jaunt on, "The Meaning of Life."

The font color on that color background made it so difficult to read that I couldn't really rate this piece of work. You may consider changing it to something easirt to dechiper.

Thank you for sharing your reflections--I liked your characterizing them as a riddle. I especially admired your "slippery rain of chance" image and "dice" metaphor. Cheers- Joan

This has a fine cadence, Vance. I love the fast paced motion and flow of the wording as you move from question to question oscillating between chance and commitment.

Just make sure the dice aren't weighted as that might rig the chance somewhat. lol.

Really enjoyed this prose poem. :)

This is good. The flow is great. Sometimes even a good intention is for a selfish reason. I can see why you are ranked at #7. Well done. Keep writing.

Good to read another of your poems, Vance. Puzzling why you didn't lay it out as such? Of course it may just be that the lines have become merged on my iPhone. Some interesting thoughts here. Life can be quite a conundrum!

Excellent Read! The author's words are interesting, creative
and thought provoking. The reader pondered on these words and
thought about a book she is reading on living with uncertainty.
The poem flows and connects well. I found this poem with words
to reflect on.

This is a good verse that mirrors your self reflection. I philosophical look at how we approach things and the decisions we make. Great job on this free verse.
