This is a fantastic poem about honesty, the word of a person must be sacred. That's what we wish for, but it doesn't happen all the time.
This reminds me of some of our government officials as the governor of Illinois. Very sad. He swore to protect and guide and not to do things like that.
Have a nice weekend, Hugs, Ana

This is such a nice example of this form of poetry. I haven't tried this one yet, but maybe I will sometime. Your words meet the syllable count requirements and the illustration is good.

I remember the days when a man's word was golden, Sixteezkid. We've come so far, or gone so far, haven't we. It is so refreshing today to meet someone who has that same integrity as we expected folks to have in the old days, but now those folks seem few and far between sometimes. 'Golden' is the perfect word to describe this. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like you've accomplished what you needed to do from a technical standpoint as well as from a thematic standpoint. Is it my eyes or are those hands tinted gold?
I hope this helps and good luck.

Sixteezkid, this picture and rictameter so reminds me of my father and how he tried to live his life. He was so saddened when he was required to start writing contracts for his landscaping jobs (at age 76) when he had always done all of his work based on his word. He said it was the beginning of the end of integrity when written words had to be used to ensure people would honor their verbal words. I fear he was right. Good job.

Wow, I really like the flow of this. The message was outstanding. I miss the days where a handshake was something you could believe in. Great job!

This poem should be in all the US schools from K-12 with mandatory memorization by the students--right up there next to the "Pledge of Allegiance." Absolutely wonderful work with an exceptionally important message of truth. GREAT! Seraph ~

You know, it does need to be taught like we used to learn in school, "The Golden Rule". It was drilled into us back then. And for our young people to learn about where true honor comes from is essential. I thank you so much for your great compliments on this work! And for your very generous review. With warmest regards, Sue

I especially like this work for two reasons: the picture and the poem. The picture is an amazing find first of all, wonderful job for finding it.
The poem is very well done, and in that form it brings out the feelings of the words. For a reader it was indeed powerful. I enjoyed it and well done.

LA, your review is so appreciated. I am so glad you liked this work and am honored that you gave it your highest esteem. (Yes, isn't the picture great?!). An "exceptional" on this poem means so much. And I thank you for it. With warmest regards, Sue

there seems to be be a loss in the words you have written here. For very few people have the notion to stand behind what they say and live up to it. I really enjoyed this well written verse.It was just a joy to have read and reviewed it... John

Yes, it is a loss to society as a whole, as well as to the individual. A very fundamental attribute which is disappearing...for why, I don't know. Thanks so much for your review, John.....always appreciated. Sue
