This is a good hopeful poem but also has a little darkness. We are all striving in our own ways. If only everyone viewed each other's struggles as their own. One suggestion: definitely is misspelled on your poem.

This poem offers a bit of hope during a time of massive stress and disaster. Your last words of each line create a nice rhythm and flow. Thanks for sharing.

You did a good job in crafting this four line poem. You have used a philosophical theme and it pairs very well with view looking over the mountain... pensive and thoughtful. Well done. And good luck.

You have a strong steady beat to your words and I like the rhyming words of survive, alive, strive and drive. There is a smooth flow to your poem and your theme is one of encouragement.

You are so right. Life is no test drive, but it is a hard row to hoe. Whenever we learn this, we are on our way. "Don't give up 'til it is over. Don't quit if you can. The weight on your shoulders, will make you a better man.

Wils,
This writer is standing right next to you- and is nodding her head in agreement. Life is not a test drive- no matter how many times we try to change cars, make and model...
We are members of the large citizenry that make up the world-...
We must keep striving and working to help our world, climate, spirit and moral compass to strengthen and open to others. For in order to survive- we need each other.
