Excellent entry for the Etheree writing prompt contest. Great word choices.
I like your be yourself poem. I love the etheree form.
Good syllables count. The presentation is very pretty.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
I enjoyed reading this poem as it is well written and well presented.
The photo is a perfect choice and set the tone immediately.
The message is strong and the sentiment is a lasting one.

You're right and might add a dose of jealousy is lousy as it says itself in its spelling. Hey. That could be a penning on its own. I'll make that an entry for W.I.P. and perhaps one day it'll be in print.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
I thought I heard echoes of Emerson in these inspirational, well-worded lines; the notes confirmed this. Your poem on self-reliance is powerful.
Of course, we can learn valuable lessons by observing others and even by
TEMPORARILY imitating worthy mentors, but then we must develop self
on self's own power and determination.

This is very true. We shouldn't compete with others, but we should only compete with ourselves. Thank you for choosing to share this poem here. Best wishes.

Comment from Sarah Tummey
You did a great job with this etheree. Respect to you for keeping to the syllable count and still managing to express your thoughts. I don't think I'd like to self-focus all my energy though, as that would make me self-centred. Surely self-care can be achieved whilst also looking out for the needs of others?

Thanks, Sarah. Probably better stated as being too eager to be like someone instead of cultivated one?s own image.

Hello fellow poet a good day to you, I hope this finds you well. I liked your Etheree writing prompt entry, you executed it well on the syllable count and I liked the message. Good job and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Bridge
A very well written poem. Ifeel it is a difficult poem to write because of the constraints of the prompt. You have done a wonderful job. All the best in the contest.
With regards

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
People need to be themselves. Do not try to hide behind a mask. The truth eventually comes out. If someone does not like you for who you are, you do not need them. A true friend will stand beside you through the good, the bad and the ugly situations. Thank you for this awareness.
