Mary;
I liked your writing very much it was very inspirational and enlightening and also had a reference to a spirited development to enriching a person's life.
There are two lines that I thought were very explanatory in a sense: "Don't ever submit, be the person who is vigilant". and: "Dare to be different, so set your plan to diligent". These lines to me were very descriptive and expressive In explaining that one should not stand still and just be recognize as a follower of her pack but to be one who would stand out and become one of themselves. Stand out and be a leader, make something for yourself.
Your rhythm was done very well in flowed smoothly throughout your problem and your rhyming was neither force nor labored and helped with the rhythmic flow.
Thank you very much for sharing and posting them made his starshine lead your way to the darkest of times.

Comment from NurseBarb
Wow, very well written poem and quite impressive as well.
This poem is so inspirational and would lift the spirits of just about anyone who reads it. I love the yellow background. Yellow has always been my favorite color. I love the approach you went with for one of the greatest Eagles songs "Take it to the limit". Well done.

Comment from LoannaLois
I am over- the-moon for this poem and it deserves a 10!!!!!! First, I am an Eagles fanatic...which immediately pulled me into your title. Then you continue in a manner which encourages and sets higher goals for all of us. May I send this to my grandson? He starts his first day of college next week. Blessings and GOOD LUCK!

Good clear message for all to strive and excel in whatever they do, with ambition and not heeding the naysayers. Good use of descriptive language, well chosen words and rhyming. Good complimentary photo and enjoyable read. Good luck in the contest. Faye

Comment from Finglas
This is just what the doctor ordered this morning Mary. An uplifting inspiring anthem to kick start the day. The message here is too often overlooked and so minimized in strength. I love the "you are not the real enemy" line. Well done and thank you.

Comment from mfowler
An inspiring interpretation of the prompt, Mary.
The verse flowed really well with good rhythm and rhyme.
I thought the highlight however, was the exuberance of the language as you challenge the reader to actually 'Take It to the Limit.'
You offer excellent advice in lovely verse. Really liked:
Adaptation knows no boundaries, necessity will find a way
It's wise at times to change your mind, positivity will convey
Hungry minds grow, encouraging inspiration to run free
Ignore the folk who begrudge, it's because they cannot see
Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Domino 2
Hi, Mary.
Excellent following of the song's theme, in AABB rhyme.
Lots of good advice, and I particularly like the witty:
'set your plan to diligent'
Good advice too to sometimes change your mind, but 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'.
Nice one.
Good luck and best wishes, Ray xx

Comment from adewpearl
solid use of rhyming couplets including good proximate rhyming in dream/unseen
Good opening alliteration in nature knows
Good strong verbs begin your imperative statements, like Dare/Reach
good assonance in wise/mind
you offer wise advice in good poetic form and use the contest's required title well
