                                              collaborating
                        Not just intersecting
                                               connecting 
                           Not just racing
                                             embracing
                              Not just living
                                                   giving
                                 Not just driving

First off, I am so impressed with the V shape you achieved, (I can never do shape poems!) and I love your message here too, especially (intersecting/connecting and racing/embracing) and the conclusion is just write :)

Your inspiring poetry is always so uplifting, John. It’s a reflection of your faith and peace that you have in Christ. Love the shape aspect of this poem, as well! :)

Your poetry always delivers for me John. This example is not just skillfully constructed but between the lines delivers positive messages that we can all benefit from. Victory can be achieved with effort and a positive mindset. It’s how we approach life and how we think that’s important. Cheers - Gary

Thank you Gary, your read/review always means a lot to me. The V for victory was very subtle reference, but it did not escape your careful eye, nor the positive mindset vibe. Much appreciated, my friend ~ John
