Very nice
I greatly enjoyed
Don't concern yourself about the meter.
The message conveyed is far more important.
And I do enjoy the bear sign.
That is unique

How I spent my last decade
What Doesn't Kill You...
O my you broke both hips.
I like your true story and I say that your rhyming is great
And glad to hear through 54 races you wouldn't quit,
Not even a little bit.
Gert

This is really good, interesting and a positive read. I read the author's notes first, as I usually do. I expected a mediocre poem from what you said but this was well done in meaning, especially since it is true. I love the "I want to make a quilt idea!"
Good luck in the contest! I enjoyed the flow and storytelling put to rhyme

The poem sticks to the topic. It is a true story poem with beginning, middle, and end. The language is simple and direct which fits the topic well. Using rhymed couplets and one couplet to verse makes the poem seem more step by step as was your progress.

A good read. Thanks for sharing.

' What Doesn't Kill You ', is an exceptionally well-written and heart-warming piece. Penned with craft and skill. This talented poet's work was a privilege to both read and review. To me this is a six, but unfortunately I've run out of them. Good luck with the contest. Please let me know how you get on?

Excellent entry for the Life Changing writing prompt entry! Good luck in the contest;-) The words flowed nicely throughout the piece and weren't forced, in my opinion!

Thank you for sharing and many blessings to you and your family this Christmas;-)

Your poem tells us to never give up. I did hear about another case where he was told he would not run again; now he's a runner on every street in his city. Good luck in the contest.

That is a quote written by Albert Camus and it is my motto and life force.
I just one minute ago was using it in a remark. I have injuries and use a wheelchair - due to domestic violence. But I am like you and this great write is perfect for the contest. Best of luck and Merry Christmas.

Thank you for sharing this poem of triumph and hope when adversity is at it's peek. I am glad you beat this challenge and it gives all of us hope. I am NOT a poet but I enjoyed your rhyming and near rhyming scheme. Keep writing.
