Beautiful.

I feel the power of your words of encouragement.

So truthful for so many.

This sentence is so profound: So always remember the place that you start

I wonder how many would remember the place they started instead of going to the place they stopped.

deepwater,

Very nicely written work. The theme was well chosen. The poem is perfectly arranged. It had very good formatting. Smooth flowing. Understandable. Wonderful job!

I only spotted two small errors, nothing to get too upset about-

Sadness is(,) the wish that you never achieve
**delete this comma

Alone in the darkness(,) with dreams of reprieve
**delete this comma

Everything else was clean. Comprehensible and very nicely written.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

deepwater,
thought provoking poem you've have penned. Great writing and the rhyme worked. I especially liked:
So remove your defenses, go reach for the sky
Go forward with gusto show life what you are
The phoenix that rise's, now claim your new start
Reach out for the hands that will pull you up high

Thanks for sharing your poem. Although some art work would have enhance your poem. I'm awarding you five stars for your piece titled simply as 'Life.'
Melissa.

This poem does sum up life in all its complexities.
I love the way you formatted this and the flow to it.
I also really like how you've said we are too lazy ~
but criticize others when they try. So true!
Great work!

This is a very deep and meaningful poem. The message I get is that we all have the power from within us to soar above and obtain all of our goals. If only we do not let negativity or jealousy block our thinking, then the possibilities are endless. Well written! B

Another fine effort by you. Your poetry is refreshingly simple and straight from the earth. But it packs a good punch with plenty of interesting imagery. By the way, I've wanted to say this from the time I started reviewing your fine work - I love your green tractor. Ride it Deepwater. Best wishes, RobertoK.

Hi - again, I love the content
of your poem, and the words flow
really well, but... I'm left confused
by the odd line, and altho I've pointed
it out, hoping you might enlighten me,
you don't.

This line - Sadness is, the wish that you never achieve ???

Otherise, an enjoyable read.
Margaret

deepwater,

this was a strong writing, my friend. Excellent descriptives throughout led to an easy flow. Not being that great at understanding how poetry works, I wonder if you should leave the apostrophe out of 'rise's'? Your call on that.

Great work.

Reggie
