This is an interesting entry for the Minute poem contest. I've never tried this poem form and find it daunting, but you managed it effectively. Your poem has an ethereal quality to it. Good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed reading this introspective verse and feel your use of yourself as a topic was well chosen. Great job on the rhyme choices and the artwork that is very complimentary. Good luck.

I loved the artwork you chose for your Minute poem, and your stanzas all made perfect sense. I'm a Frost fan, so of course this harkened back to him for me, an always welcome respite. Nice work, and good luck in the contest!

Wow, this looks like a difficult poem to format. Excellent work! I love how you have chronicled birth to death in such a short verse. And in the end death was just another journey and freeing

I lie the originality of this poetry, author. Each phase of life handled poetically is something seldom thought of, I believe. It flows so well from beginning to end. :) Bob

You've gone through your life in a minute! Lol. That was clever and very well done. The minute form is fun, I've written a few, but my last one was a minute and sixty seconds, I wrote four stanzas! I think yours is a strong contest entry, it's unique. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

This is an excellent poem for the minute contest
true to the form in rhymes and syllables.
The meter, however, should be iambic, unstressed/stress.
Some of the four syllable lines are not iambic
such as lines 2,3,4 6.
Otherwise well done with a good theme.
Good luck in the contest
Robert
