Ride of a Lifetime
A fantastical contest entry for rhythm with no rhyme scheme23 total reviews
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This was an extremely difficult assignment. Just to understand what a poem with rhythmn would sound like, especially if it does not necessarily have a rhyming pattern. The setting enhances the motion. The reader is drawn in to the sensory experience of the looping activity. The metaphor is a great plus. Well thought out.

Enjoyed all the fun alliteration, tactile references like "purple's fuzzy froth" - you give a feeling for every color. I liked the sound of "rainbow riding." Best wishes in the contest!

You should try it sometimes. Thank you for your review!
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
This is very very interesting and very well thought out. I do think also that fantasies aren't just for kids. We older folk like to sometimes release that child-like innocence from long ago. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

Thank you, Jeffrey, for the awesome review -- and, yeah, we ALL need our fantasies, don't we?! ;) Enjoy the remainder of the weekend!
Comment from Bill Pinder
Excellent entry for the rhythm contest that is written in smooth iambic and full of imagination and alliteration. You should do very well in the contest, and I am guessing who the poet is. I will find out soon.

This is a good piece but it does give me the impression it is meant for a youthful audience so hopefully that was it's intention. Good luck in the contest, thanks for sharing, later daze.

What a clever idea 'to ride the rainbow'. And to ride it with the leprechaun... Well done.
I enjoyed the read.
Best of luck with the Rhythm Poetry writing prompt contest.

Comment from AnnieDawn
This poem is so smooth without rhyme that you do not realize that there is none. Except for looking for the "no rhyme" because of the contest, it is a real pleasure to read a smooth entry. Really great job and I think you have a winner. The subject is interesting too.

I really joined in the fantasy end to end rainbow ride while reading the poem. It was a nice rhythmic ride which got my attention wrapped from the beginning to the end of the rainbow. Very creative peace. Good luck in the contest.
