This personally speaks to me because I am no longer waiting for anything. If I want it, I am doing whatever I can to get it! I love learning and challenging myself and forgiving is a hard one for me!
Taking it one day at a time. I love this!

Congratulations on your first-place win, Jessica. Your short poem conveys some wise words to live by. Life is short, too short to waste on unforgiveness. Again, congratulations!

This is a profound and so
very important poem on the
act of forgiveness. Well penned. I would say best
wishes for the contest, but I
think you're going to win
for sure. Congratulations :)))

Wise advice, people hold on to silly discretions to the grave. Forgiveness helps you more than the other person. The other person more than likely isn't giving it a thought. Great entry, so far your number one.

Yours is the wisest post in this contest, and I happen to have a spare Six
left to give it. You are right about the importance of time in such a
situation. This post will be memorable, whether or not you win the contest. :)) -- Mike

You have written a very effective 2-8-2 poem with an extremely worthwhile message. The image, font and colours are well-chosen. Good luck in the contest!

Excellent entry for the 2-8-2 writing prompt contest. Forgiving is so important for a good life. I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Good luck!!!

Well done! 2-8-2 is hard, and you've managed an important thought, aba rhyme, and internal rhyme in the second line. The poem flows naturally. The visual you used is striking.

Oh yes, one of the things that is necessary to keep us out of the clutches of a living death is letting go of the things that will hold us in bondage, and unforgiveness is one of the worst, great advice, and beautifully written, well done, good luck, blessings Roy
