Quite a collection you have of life experiences. Please don't keep them all in your head. Put pen to paper so that others will learn from your past. I guess my favorite is the one about the scars. Remember Jesus kept the nail scars in his hands but had forgiveness in His heart.

I never give less than five stars BUT I'm always honest.
For 2cents, this is a LOT of reading and reviewing that you are expecting, especially when each piece is so different. There are meter issues here and there ... too much repetition, here and there ... All in all, I like your work. I'm not crazy about near-rhymes used quite so much and I do think with aabb rhyming patterns, meter is important, especially if the piece is short. Tons, and tons of repetition is not my thing. I find it distracting rather than effective. And that is my 2cents worth!

I would appreciate your input on my piece that you reviewed. Usually when awarding less than five stars, the reviewer offers constructive criticism. Thanks so much. Jude

"for or hate" doesn't make sense to me, sorry...I think the 'or' needs to go...and 'sole' in this sense should be 'soul.' Overall, a lovely poem! Enjoyed the message of peace! That said, not all music is hate-filled...check out Everlast's "What It's Like" or at least look at the lyrics...bad language in it, but the message IS one of peace and not judging ppl...
