Comment from C. Gale Burnett
The title, artwork and color scheme drew me in (great choices). But, that's not why I'm giving you six stars. I absolutely enjoyed how you took each stanza and creatively described some of the different paths that mankind faces.
We're all on a journey and sometimes (stanza #2) our paths will cross.
Your poem was enhanced by your consistent theme of maintaining hope and faith no matter what journey we are on.
Great rhyme.

This is a well written poem that reminds us that we are all on our own journeys and that we can help each other to get through our porblems.
We all try to work to find strength and action to make our lives better and spirits stronger.

Comment from WriterHeather
Love this epic poem about a group of people on different paths but connected all the same. We come across many people throughout our lives and may find ourselves in more then one of these scenarios as we go through life.

BN,
I like the way you have shown how we all have our own trials and obstacles and must make choices when we select the roads to be followed. I couldn't help but think of Robert Frost's diverging roads in the woods, especially with the image you chose. Very nice.

Comment from robyn corum
BN,
What a smart and insightful poem. We should all be aware by now that everyone has to deal with struggles in this wild, crazy world. We don't have to know and understand them, but it's awfully nice to offer folks a bit of grace in our daily dealings with them. This is a really good example of all of that. Thank you!

Comment from Alyssa Wilson
I really enjoyed this piece. It's a familiar concept, with some fresh takes. I felt there were some places that had punctuation where there was not punctuation needed and it disrupted the flow, but overall this piece moves a long nicely and does not feel burdensome to read. I also liked the subtle rhyme scheme you used. I did not notice it during my first read through!

Comment from Janice Canerdy
The ANSWER for one person may not the the answer for another. This is a truly excellent poem in all respects--skillfully written with some creative rhyming, deeply moving, and vividly descriptive of the wide range of people we meet on our "paths." (line 9 other needs s; line 24 recoveries
should be recovery's)
