Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)

Excellent

This poem has two advantages over the other entries to the contest:
The rhyme in the two five syllable lines
The moral of the story at the end

Well done.

Excellent

So very true, a wonderfully written 5-7-5 poem, your chosen artwork suit your words, I have heard that arrogance and ignorance sunk and killed more people than the iceberg, very well done and best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Comment from Y. M. Roger

Good

Certainly a great little poem, but it is not a 5-7-5.... it is actually a 5-7-6... Such a great focus for this limited format!! ;) :) Good luck at the polls!

Changed arrogance to conceit.
largest of her day
unsinkable was her claim
conceit doesn't pay
