Such a wonderful poem with all those references to famous quotes in each stanza. Very creative how you wove them in and made them a part of it. It added another dimension and sparkle to the poem which made it that much more enjoyable to read. I recognized the quotes but appreciated the notes below to add to the appreciation. Well done!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Nicely reassuring.
Comment from LIJ Red
The comic books misquoted Garbo even worse, as "I vant to be alone!"
Do NZ folk go on walkabouts like their southern neighbors? No matter,
excellent post.

Thanks for your review.
Kiwis love hiking and travelling, so yes, we do get around... 'walkabout' is an Australian Aboriginal term for when they 'go bush'.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem/note about being absent from home to a roommate. Sometimes it is a temporary absence and other times it is more permanent. We all need a time to be solitary.

Solitary time is essential for me; I can feel very crowded and noise is horrible too. Luckily I live alone and can choose when to have company and noise.
Comment from Mark D. R.
Funny verse. Chock full of goodies to read. Your rhymes are spot on. Liked your twist for Rome with 'roam.'
Effective (limited) use of the larger type size to emphasize your intent. Your author's notes give a nice taste to your overall presentation for this writing prompt entry. The picture also reinforces the road less traveled or to tread on the pathways of life. I walked part of the Appian Way with clogs and no socks. Yep, blisters and sore feet later. What was I thinking: that this was just a walk in the park! LOL

Thanks for your thorough review Mark.
Gosh, I wouldn't want to walk a mile in your shoes. Clogs! No socks! That's punishing.

Yo this was really cool. I like the way this was written. It had imagery but yet I kinda went off with it. I also liked how it flowed really nicely. Overall really well done.

I am pleased you enjoyed my poem.
The history between my room mate and me is this: I don't have one; I live alone, just me and my darling cat, who of course understands everything I say without need of explanation. I had to invent having a room mate for the contest.

-Good image choice
and nice presentation.
-Notes are appreciated.
-I like how you incorporate
the song titles an quotes
in your poem.
-It flows well with effective
rhyme and description.
-Because I am a big
fan of Frost, I like that

one is as good as the next.
-The conclusion is very good, too.
-A strong entry; good luck.

Thanks for your kind positive comments, Pam.
Robert Frost wrote wonderful poetry I agree.

You are very welcome.
Comment from JudyE
I enjoyed this but thought it was a spontaneous walk to get away for a while, not necessary one for milk! :) I enjoyed the references too, to Garbo, Oates, Frost, etc. Good luck in the contest. Forum/ignore 'em - love it.

My poem does indeed refer to a spontaneous need for a solo walk. All that guff under the poem about milk etc. is part of the contest entry guff, and not relevant to my poem. I have now added a bit of explanation to better indicate what are my notes and what the information above mine relates to.

Sorry. It's much better if it's not meant to be going for milk.

Sheesh can't you just say I've got to go to the store to get some more..
I mean how long a route to the store is that ...via Rome, and the Antarctic,
But man what a cool poem to roam to Rome and home
God bless

Thanks for taking the time to review... I hope I didn't wear you out with my ramblings.
