I'm glad that you didn't quit! And what an important message about all the great men and women in the arts and sciences! They didn't give up. God gave them a spirit of perseverance to complete the mission He had for them. Congratulations on the win!

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a clever free verse poem with a strong message showing how great discoveries were made by people who never gave up and worked to finish the job.
A little self-deprecating here that you, unlike these great inventors, are entirely out of steam, and your contribution will not be missed. I am not so
sure, you may not be on the New York Times best-seller list; however, your work here shows that your readers enjoy your musings.
Good luck in the contest.
Mary

An imaginative and well expressed verse which I enjoyed reading. I like the title and the development of your poem in this free verse form and its conclusion is both neat and satisfying. A very worthy entry for the contest and so far my favourite! Good luck Debbie

I like how your poem is thought provoking. The flip side is, how many paintings, writings, and medical discoveries didn't happen because someone ran out of steam and laid down their pencil, brush, or stopped doing experiments.

I have (temporarily) ran out of steam a few times in my life. My faith has sustained me and my family and friends. As a Christian, we always have the strength to go on even when we think we can't.

Thought provoking poem.
Blessings
Janet
