Comment from Mastery
A brilliant poem here, jim. I lofe your use of strong verbs, like here:
"wobble, stumble, tumble, go down...so fast,"
And here too: "simply slithering, dithering along."
Good write, my friend. : ) Bob

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Good artwork and poem, Jim.
-The notes are appreciated,
but the form sounds like a lot of work.
-You did a good job with it, and
had a good topic, along with
effective imagery.
-My favorites are
"wobble, stumble, tumble, go down"
"simply slithering, dithering along."
-I'll go with the "slithering, dithering" approach.
-I like the concluding verse, too.
-Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Eternal Muse
I liked your quadruple Tetractys. A very interesting presentation. I like how use contrasts - first, Run - then Walk, and liked your summation:
Oh sure, it will take you so very long,
but rest assured,
take the time...
all you
need!
Best of luck in in the contest with this very strong entry.

Life's choices are many; results also
Run..Walk

Hello my friend
A wonderful entry for the
20 Line Poem contest. Your quadruple Tetractys looks hard to do but you did a good job. I like the snail topic...they are so disgusting. You can get rid of them in the garden with a bowl of beer. :)

Comment from Amanda Louise Davis
This poem was all right, but does one skin their bottom? I am really not wanting to say anything negative about this, but I think it needs a bit of work.
