This is an amazing poem. Your words capture your life story eloquently and I admire your smooth flow of rhyming words. Your words read like a mini movie and take the reader on your life's journey. Biographical poems are one of my favorite poems to read and I imagine they are challenging to write.

Comment from Fleedleflump
You maintain a solid, continuous cadence throughout this piece, and I very much enjoyed learning about the twists and turns of your life. I think we'd all like to make out bodies a bit firmer (I'd settle for a little less round myself, too :-)).
This was an excellent piece.

very powerful story in a rhyming poem. Inspired me to try my own attempt later this week. I like how you go through your life from the beginning to now and end on a hopeful note.

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Joan,
just to summarise in a poem is one hell of a feat... but all in rhyme, wow!
That's one hell of a story and Autobiography. All the ups, downs and all the in between.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, I enjoyed reading this very much.
Just wondering... 'We now have been married twenty-tree years, is a typo, or are you in fact Irish?'
All the very best in this contest.
With our thoughts we create...
a journey to ourselves.
Kind regards,
James.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
There is happiness and sadness along the way in your colourful life here and school and college had a big influence. I have no idea what a Sugarfoot is? Maybe a pet dog, cat or rabbit? Or is it a boyfriend? An interesting and entertaining write, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Hi Dolly,
Thanks for reading and review my poem. Our pet cat was named Sugarfoot because all her paws were white and the rest of her body was tawny.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Well, girlie, this was fascinating and so on par with my life's experiences, save for my being a boy. It read comfortably, though if I was a professor of literature I likely would question, "how in the world did you write this gibberish" but I am not, so do not take offense, please, for I liked it a lot.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Joan, this is awesome! I loved learning so much about you through one poem and yet I'm sure it barely scratched the surface. I can relate as we used to move a lot and I hate that these girls treated you so badly. Sounds like they were very immature and jealous of you. Now I know you are quite familiar with much of my life, I am delighted to know more about you through this very well written and heartfelt poem of your life. And your wonderful husband and family just gave us so more of a special way to see you. Thank you for sharing this as I now have a picture that I can see you in while we chat next. I loved it!

Thanks, Deb, for reading and reviewing this poem. I am glad you liked it. Thanks for the sympathy and empathy. This was written 13 years ago. So It might be time to add to it.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is an ambitious undertaking that you did a tremendous job with. You were very clever and creative with the prompt. It shows that you took time writing this because I see no errors. Your writing is effortless as are the rhymes. The entire poem felt like water trickling down the page. Well done! Good luck in the contest.

Comment from lyenochka
Thank you for sharing about your life, Joan! Seems like you had to lose family members when you were so young. I am impressed that you were doing gymnastics and cheerleading when you had started wearing glasses so young in life! So glad you found your lifelong love in college. I think most people aren't mature enough for those relationships until college. I didn't date in high school and from the other people's stories, I'm glad I didn't!
One typo:
We now have been married twenty-tree years (three)
