Comment from Susan Larson
For me it's always a treat to read one of your poems. Actually, I read this one three times just because it was so thought provoking. I'm glad I still have a six for you.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Life is ever changing. When things are so bad that we don't know if we can hang on another minute, we must reassure ourselves. Most times they will change. Before everything will get better soon. Then, when we are happy and everything is close to perfect, be must get ready and brace ourselves. The hills and valleys are endless as long as we linger on this earth. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
The problem we are facing in the world today is that consumerism has taken a stranglehold on the new generation. It is at it worst when people buy things they actually don't need and in the process destroy the environment. A very well-penned poem. Enjoyed reading it.

Thank you for this review. You make some good points about consumerism, but shopping mania has been happening, since I was a kid, so this is nothing new, really.
Thank you for your kind comments, and for the excellent review, and rating.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-A good image, title,
and presentation, Jesse.
-This is an excellent poem
deserving of the extra star.
-A good topic, imagery, and rhyme.
-It flows well from verse to verse
as you show the state of things,
beginning with the first line.
-You use very good specific
examples of things we use
that add "misery and waste."
-A very good concluding verse, too.
-Very well done. Have a great weekend.

Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the title "Never lasts Forever" and the picture. Time flows like a stream and once it is gone, it never comes back..Life Chances are the same, once people let them slip through their fingers, they can never catch them again.
Don't miss any good chances...
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Powerful and provocative--stunning piece!
What do you intend by "eschew" in context? (=deliberately avoid using; abstain from) Don't you mean careless attitudes abound? ("ensue" would rhyme with adieu, but doesn't quite work=happen or occur afterward or as a result).

Thank you, Elizabeth, for your kind comments and a decidedly obscure suggestion yet, one that I will consider.
Thank you, again, for this review.

Hope this clarifies:--my parenthetical re "ENSUE" was my lame attempt to think of a rhyming replacement for "ESCHEW".
The equal signs ("=") indicate the dictionary definitions of, respectively, ESCHEW and ENSUE.

Thanks for the clarification, Liz.
Now I understand.
Have a great weekend,
Jesse
Comment from Cindy Decker 2
Jesse, this is a very good poem. We'll rue the day we did not take better care of our earth. I love your rhyme and images within the poem. You put it very eloquently that what we fail to do in life will haunt us. (As forever grains of sand).
Good luck in the contest!
Best wishes,
Cindy

Comment from Boogienights
Your poem eloquently addresses how much things have changed and I for one, long for the good old days. Okay, maybe they weren't completely good, but better then what we have these days. Thank you for this thought provoking poem. :)
