There was a time Not so long ago, When you would have seen me blaze Before the constant grind, And the dry remorseless winds of life, Had sorely worn me down.
Hey! I think that's the first time anyone has ever called me that, Marie! The best kind of compliment! Although, I think I'll delay standing on rocky promontories looking windswept quite yet. I may need a few more poems behind me.
Wow. Just beautifully structured. I love this. This is fantastic. 'So slyly expounds'. Just freaking masterful. This one is getting saved. Phenomenal work.
Thanks Nazish. It'll take me a while to find my footing, I think. But these experiements, I guess you could call them, are encouraging. Especially when I get such positive feedback.
Wow! Well done, Poet!

It was really well done, structure, word choice it all went together like peanut butter and jelly! Lol
I'll put that quote on the book cover!
LMBO.

Joe, you're too kind. There's nothing more satisfying than having a line quoted back. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Really great stuff, recently wrote a short story. Curious on your thoughts. No pressure of course.

I’ll try my best D.B. There’s so much good writing on here and so little time!
Poignantly poetic 🌟
Thank you, Anna! In my poetry journey I'm trying all kinds of things, and it's so nice to get such positive feedback.
Beautifully melancholic. Absolutely haunting.

You touch a person's heart with your poetry!
Rea, thank you! It's quite a strange thing to have so many people offer such encouragement. I'm not used to it! But I do appreciate it!
I really like this and wish I'd written it myself 😉
The highest praise! Thank you! What's great about this place is how generous everyone is with their comments and time. It's very encouraging.
