Wow! Did you take the reader on an adventure from one to another! I so enjoyed the ride. Good Trinet poem that follows formatting guidelines. I like the meaning behind the meaning aspect of this poem. I also loved your artwork choice for the theme. Good luck in the contest.

in search of fountain(s) of youth - I think fountain should be singular here :)

But other than that, this poem flowed well and seemed to conform to prompt suggestions. It does seem intriguing to me, how poetically you've penned the search for sustenance. Your language was brilliant and the presentation was stunning. This piece shall fare well, mystery writer :) I wish you the best of luck in the contest with this profound piece.

    Thank you for sharing your deep insights. Not many would get where I was going with this. So glad you did - and I did revise the fountains to fountain, Typo. Thanks again.

This is a very cool style of poetry, and i'm not a real poetry guy. I like the comparison between the conquistadors, puritans, and refugees of today. Very nice job.

Great message--human kindness is one of my favorite themes. Lovely presentation too. This seems true to form. It's an unusual form, not easy to do well. You did. However, I must honestly critique the use of cliche phrases like 'chasing rainbows' and brave new world and cities of gold and seeking new beginning. I recommend finding similes to convey the same ideas or rephrasing so the wording is more unique. That said, it works well as it is, and many readers may not mind the cliches. I just think not using them will nudge this up another notch, but it is a fine entry as it is too. Good luck!

Warmly, rd

    Thank you for your honest and insightful suggestions. The problem I have is that I will reserve a space and then realize that the contest is ending the same day and not 3 months from now! So, the write is a little rushed - hence the cliche phrases. I did revise a few phrases. Appreciate your taking the time to help me hone my craft!

    Happy to help! I do understand...daily prompts are like 'musercise!'

That type of poem is not easy to write. Good luck in the contest. Word flow makes it an interesting and easy read. Topic tells a somewhat sad story of people wanting freedom.
