Small Town Girl

Hello my friend

Great job with the biography poem. It's a story in a poem.

I think you married your highschool sweetheart.

Well done.

    Thank you for the review and nice comments. Let's say I married someone I met before I got out of high school.

This is a lovely, descriptive, moving poem. In describing the key points of your life, you have conveyed a powerful message about the joys of life for one whose "desires are few and not extreme."

Your poetic biography is clearly presented in solidly rhymed quatrains.
The pleasant cartoon artwork selection compliments your written words.
Best wishes with this enjoyable contest entry!

I really enjoyed this entry in the Bio contest. You managed to cover a lot of territory and convey quite a bit about yourself, your history, your current life and aspirations. Great job. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for the review and lovely comments. I read your entry and enjoyed it very much as well. You said a lot with a lot fewer words than me. I think your poem will do well in the contest.

I thought this to be so very nicely written. No siblings, but there must be children then for you mention family. Poetic biography is a challenge I would think. Nice job!

God is god, god is life, god is good, and god loves the southern states.
He will care, he will care, despite all its mistakes.
Small town girl, with a lot of heart, the ambition of a big city woman
She'll make it in big, mean world
With her bible in her hand

Iread your poem carefully and the below lines stuck with me, is like an anti-corona antidot :"ove of God and country reign supreme.
A contented life's my cherished dream.
My desires are few and not extreme.
"Staying the course" will be my main theme."
thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest, and stay safe.

I love the rhythm of this poem and the beautiful story it tells of a small town girl and how she grew up without siblings and her journey through life doing as she was told. And then how this poem continues to describe her journey of growing up and then getting married, her Hobbies and her aspirations. All these things were perfectly in Rhythm and rhyme and it gave her life story in such a beautiful way

Beautiful poem about enjoying the life you have constructed for yourself. I love the way it's written but think you could possibly have created something just as poetic and glowing if it didn't rhyme. Love the focus on morality instead of material things, that is always an important lesson. Xo- Kellie

    I've read a few poems on this site that weren't rhymed that actually sounded like poetry, but very few. I love to write prose but if it calls for a poem, I prefer it to rhyme. Thanks for the review and nice comments. This is first three star review I've ever gotten.
