I think this verse is very nicely written.
It reads smoothly and tells a clear story, using the Blind Rhyme.
Well done and thank you for sharing this with us.

The complicated, interlinked rhyme scheme here worked well as a musical and rhythmic effect, in my opinion. It set up dramatic breaks in the language that interrupted the natural flow, like waves breaking on a barrier wall. Interesting, and different, imaginative. There's this sense of people trying to leave their baggage, their past, behind and not quite being able to move beyond it. Somehow it's always following us around, like these rhymes. In that way, I thought it was good form following function, or form providing a good framework for the theme. How does one find one's true self? Nowadays I think most people would say it's in being yourself, but I think it's impossible to define an individual separate from the people interacting in his/her life. So to be truly oneself, one must serve others. estory

    Finding your true self depends on the amount of baggage ?sold? you in childhood and how your life is affected. I really appreciate your in-depth review. Thanks for your kind words

You did well with the inner rhymes. The poem becomes one about leaving some distrusts, messes behind. I did think at first it would truly be about traveling light. This is a theme I write about as a few times, when traveling, I was so overburdened.
Good poem

A very well-written blind rhyme poem about baggage of the
Past that can hold us back for a long time and leave no space for new adventures. Take only what you need leave the rest behind.

Typo
(U)Very few of us are baggage free

I enjoyed your Potlatch Club challenge poem, Bucketlist. Your lines flow smoothly with good rhymes and a great message to all about living their lives. The image is a good pairing, too. Your poem progresses at a good pace with each verse adding more to your message. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love, Jan

Your blind/hidden rhymes fit in very well, very smoothly. It would be nice if we could leave the bad parts of our past behind us sometimes, but unfortunately, it's always with us.

    Sometime the past hurts so much, that the person can?t function . It?s always with us , but it?s the degree of effect that is the real challenge.Thanks so much for your positive review

I so agree with your words here Trish! Unfortunately we can't help but carry baggage, it is with us always and some carry it on their sleeve and some hide it, I enjoyed your words here, love Dolly x

Wow I have not tried one of these yet but this one follows the rules and the wording is cleverly chosen. Very cute and spot on rhyme and meter. Nicely done
