Shirley,
Congrats on winning the 8 Words or Less Poem Contest. These eight words contain a powerful message about facing life's challenges. We often ignore the obvious ans seek alternate solutions to a problem when the one that makes the most sense is required.
All the best,
Eugene

This is a brilliant message and you were able to put in a rhyme in this eight word poem! I think too much of our lives we are bailing and not working on plugging up the hole together. So much grief could be avoided! Congratulations on the WIN!!

Hi Shirley
I like this moral in an internally rhymed one liner that reminds us we need to solve the problem, no just ignore it or work around it.
Congrats on the win.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great day.
Joan

I love the artwork you chose for this contest entry. You're so right, don't bail, when the leak could be plugged. I enjoyed reading this entry and want to wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from EeanBlack
So profound. In a boat or your life, it's so important just to fix the problem. So many people just bail. I have bailed myself once or twice. I love the art. I have to ask what breed of dog is in your profile picture? I just can't identify it. Be well and don't bail. Oh no, it's contagious.

Thanks Eean. She's a Chihuahua called Ada. I was asleep on the sofa so she decided to sleep on my head! :)

Shirley,
I like your 8 word poem. It sends a clear message.
This type of limited word poem is sometimes difficult to write.
Excellent symbolism.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
A fine, memorable piece of advice here, skilfully crafted with just 8 words. And the moral of the story - ensure your tools are fit for the job before expending energy getting nowhere. As ever, Shirley, you always produce the goods needed when required and you do it with class. Well done and good luck! Debbie
