Heyyy! I know this girl! She's a doozy. There have been lots and lots of her clones running in and out of my life throughout the decades, too. She's easy to spot, and quickly dismiss, though, so that's the up side! This is a fun poetic form, and you presented it well. I love the accompanying GIF.

I feel that the laugh of this person is hiding the pain she feels, as well as the inability to take advice. Sometimes one's "cleverness" and independence are one's own undoing. For sure, being clever is not the same as being wise.

Forget poetry --- the wisdom gets the '6'. I'm sure the poetry deserves it as well, but I have not talent in judging it. I know human nature and I recognize your subject. Good luck in the contest. ann

I like your Trinet poem- excellent picture presentation- perfect example- lol- blond- poem describes this type (usually young person in my experience) completely oblivious- i describe as living at the end of their nose- unable to project into the future and see possible outcomes- cleverness poorly masks no wisdom! Perfect !! Nice job AP

What a great portrait in your trinet poem! I really liked "helpful brittle life facts" which I try to share with my youngest adult child and sometimes shields come up so those bits of wisdom can't get through. Best wishes in the contest!

    My daughter kept up a shield and was dead by 22. Thanks for your review. I wrote this poem with her in mind. If she had listened, she would be 39 tomorrow. Instead, she is forever 22.

    I'm so sorry to hear. Sigh. We can't grow for our kids even though we want to. 😔💞

Wise words, but I doubt the character in your poem will listen and so she will suffer the consequences of her decisions. And probably wonder why and what happened.
You've done a great job with the prompt.

Oh yes, one of the things that can irk a parent, or a friend, is that they can stand alone, they don't need anyone's help, but we all need help I'm afraid, pride is very foolish, a beautifully written trinet, good luck, blessings Roy

The young lady in your GIF is laughing, but I got a good laugh reading your Trinet, which follows the requirements exactly. This is a perfect description of a young person who knows everything and demonstrates they do not know anything. Best wishes in the contest.

-Good artwork and nice presentation.
-You did a good job with the form and topic.
-Good opening lines characterize her
and her attitude toward things.
-You make a good point at the end
as she thinks she is clever but has "no wisdom."
-Good luck in the contest.

Wisdom comes with experience and these vulnerable young girls have a lot to learn but it all comes with time, at least she is clever, I loved the sentiment here, love Dolly x
