I wondered if there was more to come for this poem as it seemed to end quite abruptly and in the middle of a thought. I liked your image and the thoughts you presented. Best wishes for your entry.

Written nicely to the prompt. You are gibing advice after making a mistake but benefitting from the experience. I always like to see a rhyme at the end.

The last word of this poem is "until" Until what or when?
Has there been a last line left off? Forgive me please if I seem to make light of your very well written entry to a contest, but there seems to be an "up in the air " feel to this piece. Do have a look at it and see what needs to be done. It is well written and clearly covers all the guidelines required for the contest. Well done and Good Luck cheers Cass

This was so well done. I wish you the best in the contest.
I don't write poetry, but a good rollicking one like yours was fun. I also noted the snowfields, Very well done.

Until, what?!?! I loved what you wrote until the ending. It seems unfinished! But maybe that is what you intended to do. I suppose it makes sense in a non-quizzical kind of way.
I agree with its message and have just learned the hard way what you mean by mistakes happen! This is so true! I have just made a mistake on Fan Story with a friend who shall remain nameless!
I don't want to get into the details, suffice to say that I learned my lesson just now!
Thank you for posting this and have a mistake-free day,
Jesse

I am willing to give success my best

For I know I can and I am and I will, until


I just loved these closing lines! You have created a very thoughtful poem here that fits the requirements of the writing prompt very well.
I didn't see any errors. Great work.
All the best,

Oh, you and I are a lot alike. I'm always rushing to the next thing. Please tighten this poem up, you have a lot of room between the picture and the poem, and after the poem. What a wonderfully written poem.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day and God bless.

This is a great poem! The theme is so relatable, learning from our mistakes is the most important lesson. This reminds me of a Shell Silverstein poem in the best way! I loved every word of this poem! It was uplifting and beautifully written!
