Echoes in Canyons
Excuses become echoes40 total reviews
Comment from nomi338
Fear and self doubt can be as confining as chains or prison bars. Some foolhardy one talk loudly in an attempt to convince themselves that are both bold and daring. They whimper and withdraw at the first real challenge. Great write, I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed reading your poem. I agree with you about excuses. The picture is a good choice for the theme of the poem. Well written and descriptive.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Nicely themed with your echoing excuses which reminds me of the phrase: All hat and no cattle or All mouth and no trousers! Wasted, meaningless words of inaction and cowardice. I like the way you use the imagery of nature to illustrate your sentiment. And my favourite lines are the last three. Well done on your engaging, well-crafted verse, Pam. Take care Debbie

Thank you, Debbie for another fine and thoughtful review
Comment from royowen
Of echoes in canyons are like shouts on mountain tops, or reverberations in deep caves, one can feel the undercurrent, but not actually perceive the words spoken, beautifully written Pam, an excellent, rhythmic post, reverberating with common sense, well done. Blessings Roy

Comment from forestport12
Another interesting way similar to the other poem, as you want mankind to examine their life. In this I love how you want yourself and others to venture outside the boxed in life. Love the phrases and word choices you used to get us to explore the world around us, which I take here, teaches us something about ourselves. I'm all in with that picture! If only can peek around that cave corner first. LOL

Comment from karenina
Such wise observations in a well-rhymed and metered, eleven-syllables-per-line offering that reminds us all we can be idle spectators as our lives fly by--OR we can stop being idle and push forward with whatever inspires and motivates us!

Amen!! Yes, excuse don't do anybody any good. They're a crutch for not improving ones' self. I have a friend who have been in the hospital numerous times for dehydration and when I discuss it with her, she'd 78 years old. She tells me she doesn't have time to drink water. I told her it was an excuse. She disagreed with me. She sits and knits all day. Anyway, your wisdom shines through with this poem. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Trina Layne
This is a powerful message. I struggle with making excuses and procrastinating. I've been trying to fight these with prayer and by becoming more self-aware. Self-deceit is the worst. Fear can be bad. They stop us from taking the necessary steps to progress. The result is living and being unfulfilled, and it's because of those silly excuses. Thanks for sharing this piece.

Thank you for understanding my poem and for taking the trouble to do this fine review
Comment from Peter Jarvis
Your poem is very elaborate and colourful, and it demonstrates the evolution of the idea of the human self. That is why I appreciate the struggle between the self and the inside enemies and the idea of the self.
Thank you for sharing this delightful piece.
Take care.

Excellent imagery throughout this thought provoking poem Pam. Excellent rhymes and meter. So many lines I particularly liked as your noted excuses and echos.
Well done and happy new year.
