I feel like a broken record because I have said this in so many other reviews but I admire those who can write under certain restraints. I love what you did with this four line poem. Felt complete told a great story, Great job!

Comment from Ava Wilson
There's no feeling quite like taking a risk and stepping outside your comfort zone. I really enjoyed this piece of poetry and especially like the choice of art.

Chip, this is a great uplifting four line poem.
To be challenged to face and then overcome our worst fears is a triumph that makes us all more complete.
Great wisdom here. Well done.

Comment from Chelsea Caffey
Reading this makes me feel free. I like that you've used the words, "tiptoe" to juxtapose "stomp" in the next line. I'm sure it was intentional. We all must explore beyond our comfort zone to keep life feeling fresh! Thank you for writing this!

I like this a lot.
The rhyme/half-rhyme works well here and the poem has a powerful message, beautifully expressed in the wonderful last line. I hope this does well in the contest - it deserves to. Maybe second place, though!

Hello Poet, this is a good use of the short form poem to convey a worthy message of self empowerment and facing one's fears. Good use of the form and spot on syllable count as well.

Hello Chip
It's all about getting out of your discomfort zone and beating it. I could not agree more. Face your demons and don't let them conquer you. That's the spirit that I hope will win you this contest. Best wishes!

Chip this is the song of a warrior and I love it! We can never truly accomplish anything or learn who we truly are until we're ready and able to get out of that comfort zone. Well said!

Very inspirational writing. The imagery used is great and the picture compliments the words you use. Repeating the words daily would strengthen one's purpose in a very forward manner.

Fear is for sure paralyzing. Some fear is good, but most is not. This is well done, I see nothing that doesn't comply with the contest and wish you much luck. Rox
