It's hard to critique these short poems.. I should say an uphill battle,
It is a beautiful picture.
Thank you and God bless

Well Done ~ Carolyn

With very few words, this poetry speaks an undeniable
truth. The attached photo is a giant mirror that
reflects the message. Thank You for your creation.

    I think you have replied in a most appropriate 5-7-5 manner. And, I might add, very complimentary to the poem. Thank you for taking time in your busy schedule to read and review. :-)Carolyn

    Ah ! - Returned home just now, Carolyn .... had a triumphant examination ( all by grace of your benediction, of course ! ....)
    And here I find now your courteous reply ..... Oh ! what a splendid day I'm having indeed ! - I'm overwhelmed ! - and know not how to thank you in words .... I guess, you're way , way above these mere formal offices of trivial courtesy .... you're someone highly unique - an exalted Lady of refined sensibility.
    Accept my pliable respect, Madam, as I herein end for now ... I shall be seeing you again very shortly - Adieu.
    :)

A clever rendition of a
seventeen syllable poem
with of course a truism
that may with the future
turn out not true LOL
Well done

    You are so right, we may have 'whirling' falls instead of 'falling' falls. LOL Thanks for the fun review. Carolyn

You brought up a great point. Something that I had never in my lifetime, thought about. Water can flow north and south, east and west but never up hill. This is a very creative thought provoking piece of poetry. The artwork chosen is perfect for this poem. Well done,,,,,,,Jim

I rated this a six, Carolyn,simply because it made me smile.
I have read that water flows both north and south at the equator. Also that one of the planets twirls counter clockwise, while the other six twirls clockwise.
Y'all have a blessed Week-end -Your Friend, Jerry
PS How did Red do with his tests?

I loved this and the picture is perfect with the verse. I just can't get over what a really gifted person can say in a few well chosen words. This was such a peaceful statement filled with personal inspiration for me. I truly enjoyed reading it and am so grateful to be able to share it with you.

The photo is marvelous of the waterfall. We have a few in Jersey, but not that large, and they don't go uphill.
My interpretation is that a waterfall is a constant. Cannot be changed. Unlike I'm life, when one has that ability, to change direction and make amends.
Nicely done Carolyn ... John

I enjoyed your brief poem, especially the last line which invited this reader to ponder upon deeper meanings beneath the water. Just my impressions. Nicely done and I've no suggestions.
