Comment from Righteous Riter

Excellent

stride
if you can't walk with pride
ride
This piece meets the criteria of the prompt as the syllable count is correct. Good end rhyming. Good alliteration with walk/with. Clear message that is short and simple.

I love the picture. I love the poem. You can tell an animals nature by the way they walk. Rabbits scurry every where they go. They are timid. The cheetah strides through the jungle. It still has fights. But it warns the other animals of it's power by the way it walks. Many will not even challenge him. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

I bet those in wheelchairs loved this one as a cool declaration of never losing self-confidence in each their own story. This is even better than a message in a bottle. That cat's also an excellent emblem for endurance and improvising, so good entry, and with or without the pic. Much luck in the booth, poet-author. Perfect title.

I'm sorry, I did reply to you earlier but it got lost in the road works somewhere. You're welcome; it was a refreshing approach :)

An original thought and how true. Stride with pride or ride. Beautiful image. Your piece isn't contrived. Interesting for the reader.

Thank you so much for this great review.

Comment from Harborvu

Good

Pretty much sums up sage advice for anyone who needs to improve their air of confidence. "Ride" is ambiguous of course, as expected of such a short poem, but I envision the person who cannot show pride being relegated to the bus!

Pretty cool photo. Word selection and poem details are perfect for the photo. It's difficult to review these type of contest entries...

Good luck in the contest... John

Hi John, there isn't much to review for this type of contest entry, as you said. But I am so happy you read and commented so positively on Power Walk. :-)

Good pairing of photo and poem, which is in excellent 1/6/1 syllable form
The three lines all end in a strong rhyme, as required by the contest
good action verb choices in delivering this advice

This Rhyme That 1-6-1 writing prompt entry fulfills the elements of the contest with all three lines ending in rhyme, and it maintains the proper syllable count. It has a sensible meaning, as well. All the best in the contest! :0 GracieAnn
