Updraft

Comment from June Sargent
Moving forward, leaving our past mistakes and excess baggage behind, we can reset our goals and achieve them. Achievement is possible only when we take the opportunity to look up and catch that updraft - to avoid being mired in regret. Your poem is uplifting in more ways than one. Well done. Should do well in the contest.

Hello June,
This is a wonderful review that I will cherish! Thank you for your wisdom and heartfelt thoughts. Yes, mired in regret is not wise and accomplishes nothing?but change and making amends does wonders :))
Thank you!

Comment from Janetsue
That gorgeous painting chosen to accent the message drew me in immediately. The message contains sound wisdom and I especially like the concluding line:
Hope raises its phoenix wings, in the updraft I am caught
Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Ben Colder
We were created into this world as a trial ordered by the Almighty to become like Him. Can we do it ? Only through learning how and that takes trial and error. Good write. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Hitcher
None of us are unfortunately but as long as we have genuine remorse and try and seek forgiveness for the wrongs we have done... Hope will indeed have the chance to raise its glorious phoenix wings and rise from the ashes of our ruined lives.

Comment from Terry Broxson
I gave this 4 stars because it is suppose to be about a flaw you see in yourself. But what is the flaw? It is an excellent poem about hope raising above not being perfect and making mistakes, but for me I think I wondering what flaw caused you to make those mistakes? You are a good writer, Keep it up.

Hi Terry,
The flaw is making chronically bad decisions based on a number of things at the time, be it hidden selfish motives, fear, greed, envy?even anger.
Thank you for your thoughts and review.
Have a good weekend :))
