Greetings, Wren, and welcome to Writing.com!

I love the brief, lyrical flow of this poem; it comes across as a song, reminding me of... Whatever. I'm a music person and know a couple songwriters' styles quite well. A quick peek at Area 52 in my port might give you a hint... Or just check my bio tab *Pthb*

Anyway, you've captured an enduring theme in a few simple words, reminding us to stop and think about our motivations and our goals, dreams, and what we build our lives around. Sometimes people don’t ever think in a deeper way on things, preferring to live life at the surface level rather than diving into philosophical questions and considering where they stand.

I might suggest using Size 4 Verdana font for your items, to help them stand out on our busy pages here. You can underline and perhaps center the title, or drop it since every item we click on has a prominent title anyway. To modify font size and style and other things, you use the row of tiles over the text entry box. Help with the site’s proprietary markup language can be found by clicking on the ? box between the M and the smiley face.

I would encourage you to check out the several pages around here which offer poetry contests… "The Newbie Poetry Award" Open in new Window., "First and Second Chance Poetry Contest" Open in new Window., "Shadows and Light Poetry Contest" Open in new Window. and "Poetic Traditions Poetry Contest " Open in new Window.. You will have to check the various prompt and deadline requirements, but there are plenty of opportunities available to win awards for your work.

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
