To stress this "I can" can be invigorating and encouraging. Surely we, as humans, are blessed with so much creativity and creative genius. Think of the space ships, astronauts, all of which is controlled and monitored on earth - and how do they do that. Or delicate surgery. To believe "you can" is a start for sure.

Well Lobber, to be honest I doubt you will win the contest but have to say you had a very original idea, perhaps lacking a little in imaginations but showing loads of nerve LOL. Great picture - quite inspirational. Good Luck Dorothy

You captured that uncertainty and ambivalence so perfectly, so simply, and what a perfect picture. I think most writers live there, though, don't you? Not quite believing in ourselves? I have a hard time letting go of the need for validation.

Lobber,

Really?

I don't know. I really want to be fair. I went through and read all the other reviews hoping for enlightenment and to see if you explained some of the reasoning behind this piece.

You did, and that helped a weeee bit. But I still don't think your explanation makes this measure up to a whole poem. I do believe this post, as it stands now, could be the foundational nugget that anchors a BRILLIANT poem, though, if you decided to follow through a bit more. That's my personal opinion - and we all know what those are worth. *smile*

(I'll pause a moment while you toss that last paragraph in the nearest waste basket...)

You're a really smart and talented writer and this post just highlights how you think so differently. I really wish you would develop this piece a little more. Add a few more lines that extend the thought concerning ambivalence and this crazy thing called life???

You're onto something wonderful, but not there yet - again - MY opinion.

Thanks and good luck!

Definitely a unique poem. There is definitely doubt in today's world and it appears quite frequently, mentally and physically. The photo is a good representation too.

Hi Lobber,

I get your point that you can. However, for a contest entry, I believe you, "can" use a few more words to describe what exactly you, "can" do. It would help your readers get to know you a little better. You have a gorgeous picture to work with.

Just my thoughts.

Sincerely Joy xx

I can relate to your poem. We should repeat this like a mantra (at least I should) to increase our self-esteem.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

I am sorry, Lobber, but I do not see much effort in this entry for the contest. simply repeating the "I can" subject title is not a good poem in my estimation. I could be totally wrong though, so let's see what others say. Bless you. Bob
