This is a beautiful ode to yourself and freedom. There are some typos like perhaps "witch" and some ;'s used in strange spots. But, having said that, perhaps its the way you wanted it to be. I loved the last line. It had punch!

Thank you for reading and reviewing, I am glad you enjoyed it. The 'witch' was there intentionally since that is me and is what gave me my freedom. I really appreciated your comments. Again thanks.

Oh I do like this! I did indeed think you misspelled- but then I reread it using the word as a witch- and it read way cooler that way! Added mystery and intrigue.
Well done

Thank you so much for reading and re-reading and reviewing. I am glad you caught the one word, it is what I am and what indeed made me free. I am so glad you liked it, again thanks.

Nobody, ever, could ever accuse me of following the "same" path as all others. I like your "charge" poem here for freedom, for it speaks to me, and it should speak to others as well. Excellent write! Tony Bronk self-righteous poet

Very well written and it is certainly celebratory in nature as an ode usually is. This has a nice flow and incidental rhyme throughout to move the pace along at a nice clip. I wasn't sure what exactly the ode was to. Perhaps freedom or perhaps to yourself. In any case. Very nice work. mikey

Comment from robyn corum

Good

Okay, I know you said that there are no spelling mistakes, but I still had to point out that you're saying a witch set you free...?
"I am glad of the wisdom, witch had set me free."

Thanks and good luck in the contest!

Lol thank you for reading and reviewing my Ode. You are absolutely correct but it was intentional on my part to use witch since that is me. Thank you for the good wishes.

This is a fine entry for the contest
A rhymed poem with no particular pattern of rhyme
Consistent pattern would have made it even better
Good examples of the joys and advantages of being free
With some very nice imagery
One typo mistake:
"I am glad of the wisdom, [witch] had set me free" I think you meant [which]
A solid entry
Good luck in the contest

Thank you for reading and reviewing. I appreciate your comments. Thank you for your good wishes. I knew someone would pick up on the typo/spelling error- I actually meant to use witch because that is me. Again thanks.

It truly is a wonder to have choices in life that make us so happy and so blessed. I like the way you use the senses in this poem and the repeating beginnings in each stanza. Thank you for your ode.
