Thank you for sharing this club entry with us. Yes, we all should have, at least need courage to get through difficult times. I enjoyed reading and your wisdom shines through.

Thanks, Barbara. What I tell my piano students who have some stage fright on Recital Day is: "It's less than two minutes you'll be up there, but for the rest of your life afterward, you get to be proud of yourself. If you don't do, for the rest of your life, you'll feel bad. Two little minutes." I've never had a student with whom that little pep talk failed. (of course, now having said that, watch that happen this coming June, right?)
I appreciate your kind and understanding review. xoxo
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Rachelle, a beautiful acrostic poem for this week's challenge. I can relate and I am certain other poets will relate too. I can think of many instances when I feel bad because I didn't achieve my daily goal. It's better to focus on the things I did complete. Your poem is inspirational and well-written. Thank you for participating.
I have three clubs and yesterday I made a mistake and added the wrong event for the Japanese poetry club. You have the option to do the new JPC event or skip it. I apologize.

I DID do it, and you have no reason to ever apologize for something of that nature. I ENJOYED the challenge of it and say "thank you!" xoxox

I created events for three clubs on the same day... it was too much. But it's all fixed now. Next week I'll divide the work over two days. Thank you! I loved your poem. Well done!

Such an over-achiever!!! xoxox
Comment from Bill Schott
This acrostic poem, COURAGE, has the proper formatting and reminds the readers that the day is long and full of little goals which will get done today or on the next or the next.

Lol. Goals are like housework: they'll wait for us.

Hi Rachelle.
Both the quote and the nice done acrostic are encouraging and uplifting.
You did well in incorporating the quote into your poem. Good entry in response to the prompt.
Congrats on being this month's recognized writer.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
More often than not, courage is that voice that says, "I will try again tomorrow." If we keep trying, eventually we break through.
Is this an old favorite quote? Or did you find it for the prompt? I've heard variations on it, and I wish everyone believed in it. It has power.
I like what you did with the acrostic, and I love the line "unless you are dead, you can" - that would be enough as is.
Well done, Allen.

Thank you, soon-to-be Bday Girl!!
Yes, this is my all-time favorite quote and it has been now for decades. I bet you're curious what my second-favorite quote of all time is, aren't you? Here it is: Some stretch pants have no other choice.
Thank you for this lovely review. xoxox

LOL!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I adore the sentiment here and it is the (keep trying) element that produces the courage. There are some problems in life that I make it my mission to fix and I often have some quiet successes. I enjoyed your fine acrostic Rachelle, love Dolly x

Yes, this poem is VERY "you." And it's why we get along so well; we never give up! Thanks for this wonderful review. xoxox
Comment from Wendy G
I like your quote - and also your clever acrostic about never giving up. That's such a positive attitude - we can achieve far moe than we would have thought possible if we are willing to try again and again.

If you never give up, you can never fail!
I knew you'd totally "get it," Wendy. Thank you for this affirming review. xoxox
Comment from GWHARGIS
Amen to that. Courage is failing and trying again and again. Courage is saying what you believe in and knowing you are in the minority. Courage can be loud or silent. Loved this. You have inspired me with this one. I was petrified of having to speak to a small group of people last week for my show. I did it and actually enjoyed it. I'm patting myself on the back for that little morsel of courage. This was great. Gretchen
