This is lovely. The picture is absolutely gorgeous. You haven't written many stories. Poems are stories you know. And stories do not have to be fiction.You write strongly and well. People feel what you say. I enjoy your point of view. Keep writing. Karen

Thank you Karen, yes I agree, though with poems I really don't need punctuation-which is helpful, as always very much appreciated****kahpot

The author's words are meaningful, give great advice and are descriptive
and creative. These words are thought provoking and I pondered on the words of this poem. The artwork is beautiful and it compliments the message in this poem. Great Poem - enjoy the rest of the weekend!...Maria

Kahpot...thought provoking as usual. I wish some old ways that are being lost were not. I liked the part about just following in others footsteps. We wouldn't be here if our ancestors had done so. Imagery and power of writing always appreciated. Thanks. Theresa H.

I like your message that our actions affect the future generations who want to follow in our footsteps. But we need to avoid greed and work to make a brighter future for those who follow.
Suggestions:
unbridged water's flowing so deep (waters) if plural is meant
that man may drown in greeds inflation (greed's)
or they'll find future's lost (needs one more syllable to be 7 syllables)

Thank you, when I first wrote this, I had "they will" then convinced myself to change it, maybe I am overreaching, though like the challenge, as always very much appreciated****kahpot

A fine couple of nonets here, perfectly formed with fine sentiments and poignant words. We try and nurture the next generation of adults who depend on us whilst they are learning the ways of the world, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from Gloria ....

Excellent

This is so well done, and with a plea to us all to do a little better for generations to come. Unfortunately I don't think anyone really knows what the solution is.

Your reversed joining nonets are perfectly formed so very well done here.

Hi Kym,
This is an interesting well synced group of reverse nonets that shows us we need to change our past actions to make the world a better place. We need to learn how understand one another.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great rest of the week.
Joan

Exceptional

I totally agree with you. Mankind cannot survive on the slippery slope that we are on. Our descendants will have nothing to inherit except a scorched and a broken society.

Comment from AP Apgar

Excellent

I like your poem- excellent picture presentation of the innocent young girl- poem seems to suggest the philosophy of peace on earth- being undermined by "greeds inflation" - then "for those who follow in footprints made- ( made by those responsible for the greed and inflation?) if so - we must at least 'erase - (our)!stride'? I get lost here- anyway I agree that the lust for power and dominance to the exclusion of pease and harmony in the world will lead to our ultimate demise - and that of future generations- good point - Bless AP
