This is a beautiful poem. Jealousy runs rampant in today's young society.
This is a poem they need to read because it'll give them something to think about. Jealousy is very dangerous. Even to the point of murder. I love to see people who accomplish their dream, gives me hope.

Thank you for reviewing, but as you gave only one star, do you have some suggestions for how I can improve it? Your words sounded positive so I am a bit bewildered.

I don't know what happened but I didn't give you one star I never voted. if
I voted it would have been six stars

Thank you. I thought it was an accident. If you would like to fix it you can go back to the poem " Not caged", and go back to your review. You can then adjust the rating, and for me that would be wonderful. It's easy to do, and my fingers have slipped a few times too. I appreciated your kind words.

Thank you for adjusting it. I appreciate it.

I like the rhyme scheme and the sentiment. Being jealous produces negative feelings and it's not worth it. I like the comparison to a bird, jealousy keeps you in a cage, we should fly free.

This poem, Not Caged, has a terrific rhyme and meter that firmly grasps the theme and makes a statement that justifies the formatting and structure of your verse.

Consider what you've learned from the terrible experience and re-focus on the positive things in life. How has this taught you to create a better outcome in the future when dealing with jealousy. Always be grateful for what you have. Never keep up with the Joneses!

Comment from LisaMay
Your well constructed poem shows the negativities of having a jealous nature, contrasted with the benefits of having harmony in one's life. Looking to others with spite and bitterness through insecurity is a sure-fire way to imprison oneself in a small cage. Fly free!
Your poem and notes show a well developed personality with personal insight to leading a better life.
It could be categorised as personal improvement rather than general.

Thank you for your review with its thoughtful insights. Yes, perhaps I should reclassify it. Good suggestion.

This is a beautifully written poem. Your poem gives some valid reasons of why jealousy should not have a hold on us. Great poetic devices throughout this poem. Nice poem.

This was a great poem. I agree that we should only compete with ourselves. It's not always easy to erase jealousy, but it can be done. Thanks for sharing.

Jealousy is not appreciable at any step of living, it endows one to be more and more powerful at comparison with others, that is never appreciable for it may bring in disaster; jealousy may bring disaster; well said, well done; post more. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR (D R)
