I wish I had read it tomorrow I would have given a six. I had to troll a bit to find something I had not read. I have read most all your stuff since I got here.
This is just divine, the poetry and the picture. Karen

Comment from pome lover
Bravo, Rachelle!
A thoughtful, rhythmic and pythy poem; each subject having a good moral.
Congratulations of being recognized and for All Time Best.
I think if I ever received one of those, I'd faint dead away.
So, how are your students? Delightful as always?

Hey, Katharine!
Thank you for this really beautiful review. Very much appreciated.
Yep, the kiddos (and adults, too; I have more grown-ups this year than I've ever had!) are doing great. How's life with you?

Fine. Have been outside, planting Indian Hawthorn in big pots. They are pretty hardy. Am hoping my plants that look dead that I uncovered too soon, (brilliant) will get new growth - those that have green down in their stems.
Had knee aspirated the other day. not fun, but swelling's gone. Aren't you glad to hear all this? :)

Yes! I asked, and you shared. That's the nature of friendship. It doesn't have to be glamorous; just honest!! xoxo
Comment from Jeano
I am sitting here in awe. I think this is the most beautiful and meaningful poem I've ever read. The bar is so high with this one, I don't see how you can lose. Good luck with this contest.

Comment from Ramona Agin
I love this poem! You've captured the dual sides of people's personas in such a way that the reader can see them and feel their personalities. I love the way your characters and words rhyme and just dance and flow down the page. I can tell you really must observe people a lot to be able to describe them so well.

Thank you for noticing all these parts that I worked hard to achieve. It's always nice to know what "lands" with one's readers. xo
Comment from Annmuma
So true! It is easy to make judgements on what we see, but as the proverb suggest 'Walk a mile in their shoes' before deciding who they truly are. Exceptional poem. ann

You're so right, Ann. I read the best book years ago by an author named Sarah Ban Breathneck, and in it, she said the best way to ever stop yourself from coveting anyone else's life is to understand that you wouldn't get to pick-and-choose just the "good" parts. You would have to have every part of it. So, yes, maybe you'd get their beautiful skin, but you'd also be saddled with a horrible mother-in-law. The way things looks on the outside are just the teeniest portion of anyone's life.
Thanks for this really nice review, and the additional star, as well. Very much appreciated. xo
Comment from Brenda Henderson
Outstanding! Delightful, compelling and engaging narrative. I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you so much for sharing this. I found myself picturing each example as I read through the verse. Exceptional work!

Comment from Spitfire
The first eight stanzas create two different images. Borrowing from your book the lessons learned are stated in the last two. A lot of different emotions in this creative poem. You're a genius, Rachel.

Comment from ElPoetry001
Excellent.
You have covered areas where those in power can create a high bar or a limbo bar challenge that cannot be met.
Government, Hollywood, and fashion, designate status levels
Your answer is clear.
History tells us that If you "assume" you make an a** out of you and me.
Ass u me.
Well done.

Comment from Terry Broxson
Rachelle, this is a really good and very creative poem. I do wish I had a six left...so, I will make it a virtual seven! To heck with the system, or words to that effect.
Your message is also really good. Exceptional work! Tery.

Now, how in the world does a genteel lady like you know words to that effect? Oh wait, I might be confused.
