I love this poem. It's easy to read, it flows fast and it's very encouraging and positive.
You don't even need artwork to make it attractive.
I have enjoyed reading it very much.
Thanks for sharing.

Great job on the poem as your notes describes quite a challenge to write this. I like the message of your poem which urges the reader to take courage and be bold to take on new adventures.

Your ultra-concise poem is very uplifting, encouraging the reader to tear
down the barriers--most of which we build ourselves--that keep us from being
our best.

Thanks for the nice review. I always try to use the least amount of words to convey my thoughts. Sometimes it doesn't work. I am glad you thought it did this time.

Hi Dragonpoet, This is a very nice interpretation of the title you chose to write. I like the way you made it all about growing up... I probably would have gone the same route as my son just turned 18 and is graduating high school this year. I also love the way you made it so non-restrictive. :) A nice write :)

A nice gallant piece of poetry. We all need to rise higher and ly in the Divine Cool Breeze. Third line 'Cross the ford."
Maybe should be "Cross the fiord?" Deals with water. creek inlet etc.

Comment from Lance S. Loria
A well written poem with a string message. I think some artwork would enhace the poem for the reader. This could've easily been a free verse but I'm very happy that you included excellent rhyming. Good work!

Comment from Miss Sherry
This is very nice! I did find one tiny nit...in the first stanza, line 4, should be "no river's too wide" Too means in excess.
To cut the cord - what a fine idea. Sometimes we become staid and fixed in our routines, which can lead to a darkening of the spirit, so you have given us the perfect idea - go, fly and expand! Very good poetry.

A very well-written poem inspired by the chosen title. It seems the poem flow naturally from the one thought to the next to form a wonderful unique poem.
