Nice job on interpreting, and nice selection of interpretable quotes. I never thought of great quotes from Dr. Seuss, but he put it very nicely and your interpretation as well.

Wow, your quote explanations were definitely unique. I like how you think. The responding poetic parts by you were beautifully written. The one about the simplicity and sophistication was breathtaking and accurate. Sometimes we all get lost in the details. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

I can`t help it on this one, very good work of choosing wonderful quotes and offering very poetic interpretations. A personal preference would be to have continuity in the type face and font style, other than that, well done.

A very well-done poem for this contest, good luck. I like the picture and I think it does illustrate the point of your interpretation of the quotes. Live, everyday.understand the moment, and keep it simple. Excellent. Terry.

This amazing artwork catches the eye but distracts from the quotations you have laid down in the interpretative piece. I read each quotation and then each interpretation in haste so as to not get annoyed by the ever-swirling artwork above. I loved the initial quotes but the interpretations were only mutual attitudes of you and you alone.
