Seven lives
So many changes6 total reviews
Comment from Liz O'Neill
Very cleverly written. It's an autobiography in just a few lines but draws the reader in to reflect on what they would write. You also give hope. This should do well, because it is universal. Anyone can identify. Well written.

This is a very well written bio poem you have penned for the prompt. You used very good descriptive words telling of so much sorry and some happiness as well. The art work you chose went well with your words. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

This is an outstanding poem. Beautifully and touchingly composed. You carry the reader through the changes in your life with hope that you make it through okay. A strong lady. Marilyn

Thank you very much for enjoying the story of my journey. And thanks for the 6-stars. There is nothing without hope!
Comment from RFL
This poem is so beautiful yet heartbreaking. I think the metaphor of the lives of a cat adds a great deal of flavor. Very creative way to tell your story. And the image is a perfect companion for your words. I have no recommendations for improvement. Best of luck in the competition. RFL

I am so glad to have you enjoy my journey with me and the six stars are an added bonus. Thank you very much!

Wow! Those are some lives you have lived, some happy, some horribly sad. I know there are no traditional rules for writing free verse, but I like how you set life #1 apart in a separate stanza and think you should do that with the other six.

Thank you very much for your review.
Comment from Y. M. Roger
Wow - an unusual pattern you've chosen for a certainly unusual life-of-seven-veils! :) :) Although your composition is a lovely one, I think the thing that shines forth most of all is that which is reflected in your choice of sunshine yellow as your background here: that, through it all, you let the events strengthen you, temper you, but not define you and now you are ready to once again shine brightly in this seventh stage of a wonderful life! :) :) :)
Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest!

Thank you so much! I didn't want to have it a "feel sorry for me" poem, but one that speaks of the ups and downs of life well-lived.
