I can certainly see why this one won. What an excellent poem. You dealt with originality in such a positive manner - it was refreshing. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

I've been away a few days and missed this but congratulations on the win. It would have got my vote. And I agree, people would be much happier if they walked to the rhythm of their own drum.

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Debra, this is wonderful! Purely exceptional :) A great message for everyone no matter that age. Your poem far exceeded anything I've read so far.
You have illustrated this perfectly. I believe you have chosen a great font, making for an easy read. The overall presentation of this poem is eye-appealing.
I forgot the rhyme ... excellent rhyme.
This is an exceptional contest entry, and I mean that :))

Great advice. Soothing truth in rhyme. Easy to read and fun. Fitting in is a lifetime problem, your wisdom allows a sigh to shed some fear. thxs for that

Comment from Amenian Aypotheeno
Well I like this one in theme, title, images, rhyme and message! Sounds so like me you know :) I always thought it was silly being someone other than yourself, because isn't that a waste of who you are? Beside I am busy being myself because last time I checked everyone else was taken :) Great write with a great message, one that should be shouted from the roof tops... and at that height, it makes it so much easier to reach for the stars! Thanks you for entertaining us with such a fine quill.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
I simply love this. The picture is perfect, the words all rhyme just right - no forced or awkward word choices- the cadence flows seamlessly from stanza to stanza, and the message is sweet and honest and heartening. I so hope you win, Debra, but even if you don't, this is a perfect poem.

Comment from Heather Knight
I totally agree with what you say here. Funnily, I have read two poems on a similar topic today (Maybe we all writers are misfits...;)).
Thanks so much for sharing.
P.S. Have you seen this pic before?

I just put the link into my search engine and it brought up a whole host of pictures! There's some really cool 'be different' ones.
Best wishes to you, Debra :)
