This 3-5-3, Up Up and Away, has the proper formatting and metaphorically presents the warning and solution to keeping oneself above the madding crowds.

Thanks for reviewing Bill.
Comment from 24chas
This was a very clever piece of writing, unknown poet. I must admit laughing out loud at the first line. Nice double meaning. The whole piece was good to read. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for your review... i am glad it gave you are chuckle. Perhaps other people like their humor a bit less 'pointed'.

Hi there, I just saw the results of the contest...so sorry you didn't get more votes. I thought your entry was on point ;)
Comment from Debbie Pope
I like your use of "pricks" here. There are so many pricks out there who do like to spoil others fun and success. It's hard to see them for who they are.
Your 11 syllables carry a good message. So many of the short poems are just descriptive.
Good job.

Hi Debra, so glad you liked it. Thanks for your good wishes, but I think perhaps it is too 'blunt' for some people.
Comment from Dean Kuch
Yep, I couldn't agree more with what you've written here than if I had written it myself, Anonymous Poet.
You can't allow others to bring you down or sink to their level. And it does no good to argue.
Some folks simply prefer to wallow in their misery, and you know what they say; "Misery loves company."
Don't fall for it.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

You are so right Dean. I will just float away in my private bubble. I have had the experience of crash and burn due to other people's sabotage... not going there again. Thanks for your good wishes, though it appears people like their humor less 'pointed'.

You are more than welcome. ... :}
Comment from Stephanie Launiu
I like your short poem. 3-5-3's aren't always easy to write and still get a strong message out there. But you managed to do it. You might consider putting a language warning on it. Some people are easily offended. But the word that might offend someone is the most important word in the whole poem. It creates the punchline. Thanks for sharing, and good luck in the contest.

Sorry, not going to buy into that PC stuff where everyone is protected from thinking for themselves. As far as I am concerned the word "pricks" is an abbreviation for "prickles" and anyone else who thinks otherwise has a dirty mind!!
Thanks very much for your review... I do take your point though that some people are easily offended.
Comment from JudyE
Good advice. More and more people seem intent on bringing others into their own negativity. But if you can just see them for what they are and rise above, as you say, then you can leave them languishing.

We are on the same page Judy about negativity being a downer.
Thanks for your review. x
Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of very syllable in this 3-5-3. You get an
A+ for using "prick," which has a double meaning and so aptly fits in here!
Great choice of artwork

Thanks for reviewing. Yes indeed, that's the challenge in writing short poems... every word / syllable has to carry as much meaning as possible.
Comment from Cindy McIntyre
YES...I LOVE your play on words and couldn't agree more that "pricks" would love to burst bubbles and be mean. Living a good life and rising above are the best solutions. Great little 3-5-3. My favorite of the ones I've read so far. Great luck in the contest. Up, Up, and Away... :)

What great advice from you to carry a puncture repair kit. Just as important as getting away from it all. Be prepared!
I loved your poetic review! thanks so very much.
