I don't like people who always make excuses for their actions. Errors or bad deeds are never their fault.

Good composition and presentation.

Good job, my friend.

I thoroughly enjoyed your poem. The flow and rhyme were very reader friendly. The message came through loud and clear ~ NO EXCUSES!!! You did a wonderful job on this piece.

Most times, excuses are used to put the blame somewhere else or on someone else so as not to be responsible for the outcome. But sometimes people don't look at it as an excuse, instead they convince themselves that what they are saying if fact.... regardless, the outcome is the same. With no forward motion, the world comes to a halt.
Smiles, Carol

-Nice artwork and presentation, Pam.
-You wrote a very good poem with
effective imagery and rhyme.
-You get across the feeling of cold
very well in the beginning, probably
because it is cold here in NJ!
-I like your line about "excuses are lies..."
-You do a good job giving examples of them,
and how they impact our mood.
-Very good description and comparison to
the lions and mice.
-Very good closing lines, as well.
-Very well done! Thanks for sharing it.

I think most of s have used excused at some time or the other mainly to deflect the blame from ourselves .Falling into a rut and staying there is comfortable for many .well written..

Well put together and I agree with your comments i.e when we make excuses we are just deluding ourselves. Thanks for sharing and some nice rhyming. Take care and have a great day.
Cheers

This got my last six star. I enjoyed this immensely. I would not change a thing. The cold colors made us chilly. The lady in the water made us feel danger was involved. You pulled us in with the formula font that let us feel the danger of uniformity. Whether you knew all this or not, you and you alone created this. Bravo. Karen

Oh ouch! That's not good at the end to drown in self-pity. But yes, excuses cause so many unwanted feelings. I enjoyed reading your poem. You did a great job formulating this with great rhymes.

I know people like this that make excuses and tend to blame others for their mistakes. I have used them to learn from, I try my best but there are times I am guilty as well. Both of your poems have made me think.
