This 5-7-5, Your Life, has the proper set up and distills the philosophy of living into these seventeen syllables. Generally speaking, we must be a part of it, do our best to live life without regret or misdeed, and reap what we sow in the end. Neat.

I enjoyed the simplicity of this poem. Begin, live life the best you can, and find that one elusive thing in your life, maybe destiny. Nicely done! Best of luck in the contest.

Take care,
Russell

Good advice, to go forwards with honour, but maybe we find out if we want to claim what will happen to us. Your poem makes us contemplate that difficult question.

with best wishes, Writeling

Beautifully said in few words. Life is indeed a journey and our task to live it
honourably, to the best of our ability and that requires mindfulness, dedication,
integrity, perseverance and learning from all we are confronted with, experience, etc.
Life is a wondeful 'school', provided we are willing to learn, progress and evolve on
our journey with love, passion and gratitude.

I don't give out many six star reviews when it comes to 5-7-5 poems, they have to be stunning, top draw and an absolute gem. Congrats friend, you have just ticked all of those boxes... Loved it!!

Hi Kahpot,

This is a dreamy poem about life. Great Tanka! This in so few words give the young people the right way to follow their destiny. I respect the rhyming in the poem. Very well done! This should be framed and hung on a wall in the schools.

Peace be with you,
Urial

That's a gorgeous painting you've chosen to accompany the inspirational message in your five-seven-five contest entry, kahpot.
Your syllable count is on the money too; seventeen syllables as required.
Wonderfully well done.
Best of luck to you!
~Dean
