Victory is not so sweet. It takes time and is kind of hollow. You wait for the sweet rush of success. There is none. Great work.

This poem was very well written. I can see that the picture fits the poem and that it met the 25 to 30 word guidelines. The format it was written in looks great. This also made me think and where I wanted to read it a few times. Good Work.

I like the way you relate the shoes to the concept of conquering the world and marching forward to victory.
It is a positive message of patience and endurance.
I agree it does take time to conquer the world one step at a time.
I have given you six stars because I really like the positive message in your poem. It is very encouraging and thought provoking. I also like the way you relate yourself to the boots and not to the flowers. It shows you have a good self esteem, have succeeded in the past and are determined to succeed in future.

    Thanks sky you were one of the few that voted and quite right as it is meant to be upbeat and positive too much gloom and doom does no good.

This is an outstanding poem for the contest. I love the format that gives pauses to each thought and allows one to actually "wait" for the conclusion or punchline of the poem. The language is straightforward and economical, which drives your message home to the reader. Best of luck in the contest!

I love the picture, it fits the poem perfectly. I'm a little confused though. Is the marching a part of waiting? I really like the last paragraph.
