This trimeric poem, Finding the Real in Real Life, has the proper formatting and suggests that driven people may drive by life's meaningful stops in pursuit of the end game. Lives not lived are deemed successful failures.

Your trimeric is very well-written and thought-provoking, conveying a powerful theme. One who is always rushing to finish one thing to dash off to the next misses so much.

Your poem makes valid and pointed statements on life itself. The poem has great flow and rhyming. I especially liked the use of the rhyming words "opaque" and "awake." My favorite stanza is the first. Beautiful artwork choice for theme. Enjoyed!

Hello Mystery Writer. The poem includes so e interesting questions. I believe we often allow our glasses to become opaque and we miss much because we choose not to see it. The opacity of the glasses are the excuse and not the reason. (my interpretation) Nice job. Robert

Maybe I need to change my prescription. (I don't understand. I didn't need glasses fifteen years ago.) I found the choice of background and font colors difficult to read. Once I read it, it's very good.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Ahhh, so enchanting!
The artwork and color choices, make for such a beautifully rendered poem, both in visual and composition appeal.
Lends a wispy, dreamlike ambience, that seems to drift lightly, smoothly, and deeply into the reader's mind, heart, and soul.

If this doesn't win, the voters need new glasses. : )
Blessings to you for sharing such sheer wonderment! ~ Richard

Trimeric - good job on that form. I like the phrase "the busy-ness you make" boy that's for sure - how busy must we be - not all that busy that we don't take time for our loved ones - take time to worship and reflect on our God.
Good poem

A beautifully written and presented verse, Yvette. I enjoyed reading this intricately constructed poem as it flowed from one observation to another. . It is obviously a poetic form, but I cannot remember which one. Good job.

Great food for thought here. I often have to stop and force myself to look at the roses- and then sniff them as well. We're all on a journey through life, but it's much more enjoyable when we take the blinders off. Thanks for the reminder.
