A very well-written Quatern poem. I cannot find anything out of place in your poem. A great message to everyone as well. We only need to step forward and not looking back in the past.

Good for you for getting your feet wet and having a go friend. I still enjoy trying new forms and revisiting one I haven't tried for awhile. It is the way forward for poets who want to hone their skills, because one can learn a little something from every form : ) I think your first attempt is a admirable one, your cascading refrain worked really well and your rhymes well solid. All in all a very good first effort friend, well done!

I applaud you, Kahpot, for doing this quatern and executing it very well. I like how you used such a flexible repeating line that worked in each stanza. And overall, you give a philosophical message about the progress of life and how each human step is recorded.

I admired your philosophical reflections and your rhymes, plus the cascading line. ("Let's" appears to have lost its apostrophe in the title.) Your "rotating ball" metaphor is very effective, as is your call for us to be "partners forever". Well done and keep on spreading your wings to new forms! -Joan

dancing in freedom partners forever
embracing a future unwilling to slide
marching in footprints created together
knowing all steps are printed worldwide

Just this verse alone was spellbinding even though the whole poem was great

I'm not positive that your meaning gets across to the reader. I've read it 3 times and while it is good, it seems to lack an element of clarity.

I do however like the progression of the line down each verse and I found it clever, still I do not think the message is as clear as it could be. I suggest polishing it a bit more.

I like your philosophy here. It brings about that need for purpose of our existence and questions our intentions. Many phrases imply a sense of urgency while time remains on our side. Very well presented.

Our future is anyone's guess and how it all will end is also unknown to mankind. Everyone wants something for nothing. How will it all end?

Hi kahpot

This is really different from you. I am on a cell phone so if it has a shape I can't see it. But it is very nice.

Gloria is a gem. I agree. Thank you for sharing

Here I think you need the apostrophe with caution's because it is combining caution with is "Caution is required". Right?

"cautions required while climbing this hill"

What a brilliant poem, Kahpot! Very philosophical and reflective - it shows how we each have an independent impact, but we're all linked together in this crazy world, too. Well done.
