Congratulations on your win in Dane Ann's contest. Yes, your poem attests the truth: Judge not, and you will not be judged. Many people lead a hypocritical lifestyle and their thoughts and actions reflect it. I am so happy for your for your well-deserved win! May you have many more, Carolyn. God bless. Love and hugs, Andrew.

Hope you got to read part 1, I think you would relate to that from what you wrote in your comments on part 2. Thanks, my friend. All the best to you, Caroline.

I love the concept of this. I haven't seen one like this before, but very well written, and the message behind the piece is very inspiring.

This is superb. This is a keeper. You should be proud. I'm making a copy of this for myself with all due credit to you, the author. You should tally somewhere in this contest, if not win outright. Nice job and not overly contorted or forced. That is one of the real appealing aspects to this. Regard, Gerard

Yes! Life is like a rubber band. The further you pull it out of its proper boundaries the greater the snap-back. Hope you win. BIG LOVE, daver

greetings Carolyn: Great poem!!! I can really connect with it's theme. See, I am "born again" and sometimes I find myself on a "soap box" looking down at others. That's when I need 2 take a timeout and remember that I am not perfect either. Thank you for that wake up call to reality. Peace: Sheol

We actually judge ourselves when we judge others.. think about it. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for the comments on my work aobut "Help". I think I'll call the Game Warden or Dept of Natural Resources to see what they say they are. Sara
