The Tortoise And The Hare Race Again Comments

Interesting poem with great lessons. I love the story and style. God bless you

A great retelling of an old time fable, it really is about the journey, winning the race is great but its also about what you learn about the race as you go along, its to short a season not to enjoy these sights and those that shape us. Thank you

a nice fable, and the ending tone sounds sweeter...

oh, i see now. the T looked him in the eye. so, the H WAS a male! :)

GREAT COMMENTS. now, i'll read the poem. is it so good? ! for some reason i laughed at the end of the first 4 lines; a good omen, my friend. At the end of the superb first stanza, i find myself trying to recall how the T won the first race. the H fell asleep, thinking he (she?) had time to kill? another laugh after Now see who is fast. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - i found myself say, softly, wooooow, after reading these beautiful lines: i don't think i've ever done THAT before. You may have beaten me by a mile, But did your journey make you smile? :) :) :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (are you SURE i didn't write this one? ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - a truly wonderful poem. did daughters and wife like it; they must have! the only 'problem' i can possibly find: as it was almost dark, did they have enough light (a 'torch'/flashlight/street lights) to see the weeds well, as the new friends walked? gotta go to MyPoemList, even if i'm forced to discard some less-worthy ones that are already there. bri :)

one of my favorites the tortoise and the hare nice finish. end to winning

What a lovely retelling of the old hare and tortoise tale with a pleasant twist at the end. The story runs like a freeflowing stream without any shoals or rocks on its course. It is interesting from start to finish and the moral it holds is an eye opener to all those who miss so much of beauty and joy in their rat race for recognition and fame.
