Measure of a Life
Because it truly is not about you...13 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This 5-7-5 addressing genius, Measure of a Life, has the correct set up and questions the very definition of genius and our perception of its worth to society.

Comment from Mark D. R.
Your selected illustration attracted my initial attention - great choice!
The text expounds on how one may view our lives in this world and how we interact with others around us.
Liked your touchstones and keystones linkage.

Very true, Yvette.
Travis Alexander, the murdered boyfriend of Jodi Arias once wrote:
"The difference between a stumbling block and a stepping stone is dependent solely on the perspective of the individual walking the path."
Mister Alexander was wise with words. But he had terrible taste in women.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

Comment from royowen
Because God created us uniquely different, all of us have been touched by genius, it's just that some believe and others not, I think I only came to that realisation on my rebirth, I knew I was equal to anyone, no matter how gifted others were. This was supernatural knowledge not the world's knowledge, Psalm 139 says we were "Fearfully and Wonderfully made" not to be big heads, but contritely grateful. Well done Yvette, a great piece of 5/7/5 genius, blessings, Roy

Yeah, I don't know about genius, Roy, but it was one of those that never really fit it another contest so, it worked well for this 'no holds barred' one...I'm guessing it's called genius because it's a contest for folks that think so far outside the box that to give them 'definition' to follow stifles that genius! :) :) LOL! LOL! :) Thanx, as always, for dropping by, and, as we look at the end of the year rolling up faster than I can believe, I wanted to say thanx for always being out there in reviewing my writes and, especially, thanx for your awesome poetry that is always so enjoyable and, at times, thought-provoking! ;) :) Looking forward to more as the New Year barrels in! :) ;) Blessings for 2019! :) Yvette ;)

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your well-written 5-7-5 movingly speaks of those who want to help
others, to leave a legacy of one who changed the world. Who could
be smarter that those people?

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about genius works, only nature can do some genial things like stacking rocks in a way that no human will ever get right without any extra help.

Comment from Ogden
This is a very worthy entry. I can't say if you deserve the title or not. I have no idea if there were other arches like it that inspired its unknown designer. If there weren't, HE was a genius.
But, don't be discouraged. I'll bet whoever wins this contest won't be any more brilliant than you are. ;o)

Fascinating artwork - wise words...what more could a reader ask? We leave footprints for others to follow...in many directions. A genius knows and embraces this.
