This twenty-line poem, Don't Be Boxed In, has the required lines and speaks to reader who wants to break out and be an individual. We all want that.

    Anyone with imagination and drive wants that, but I fear there are so many who never question anything, never ask why? Never dream to fly.

A great picture you have picked for the 'boxed in' feelings.

A great philosophy, especially at the start of a New Year, to begin to think for one's self... to think outside-of-the-box. TO try to see things as the really are instead of how you at told to see them.

    It's easier said than done, because it takes effort to be original and keep well-informed so we make our own minds up.

Wow, this is such a wonderful poem with such a powerful message. I feel like we are often times too busy to think, let alone think outside the box and that is why I find this poem to be so inspirational.

This is a wonderful philosophy, and would make a great New Year's resolution. The picture you chose fits perfectly with the idea of needing to think outside the box, as does your incorporating varying rhyme schemes, which demonstrates your thinking outside the box yourself. You've done a good job, and I wish you luck in the contest.

This block of apartments resembles a monochromatic Rubick cube and I could never sort those things out. My brain doesn't work like that. I can see what the content of your poem is aimed at though and it is an interesting suggestion.

this is a good poem. I especially like your use of interior and end-line rhyme. It would be good to have the word "truth" or "lies" (or both) in the title

Do we live in a box, we wont explore our desires and dreams, we fall into a pattern and refuse to see outside that I believe we all have a purpose, but do we ever find it?
