Wow Christian! Great poem with such power and food for thought of this theatre. I love your word usage and the image you paint.

There is a great rhythm to this piece.

Love it Jane. The picture is gorgeous and of one of my favorite things in the world. You describe her magic beautifully.

The poem has a grace as she does and flows like her milky reflection on the ocean. Thanks for sharing.

Great poem Sue. Oh those clouds that we are begging to lift. We get hope and then not just yet. I love the reflective feel of your words and looking into the meaning of the artist as you would understand.

I love the playful cat in the midst of the seriousness and the choice to all embrace that side of ourselves.

Thanks for sharing.

You paint a beautiful picture with your words which flow wonderfully. I love the beginning about seeing the thunderstorms first as we so often look to the negative.

I liked that you came back around to our worst predictions not happening after all.

Thanks for sharing.

I like the picture and how you wrote about it. The questions in getting to know someone- so many.

I liked the change in sentence length to very short as the end nears and hopes for answers are lost.

Thanks for sharing.

Lovely poem Susan. I enjoyed the images that go well with your picture and the sense of hope you end with for future generations.

I loved the million white stars line.

Thanks for sharing.

Great poem Wanda. All these standards that we live by, that sometimes differ in other parts of the world. Imagine the chaos if we didn’t have any?

It is a realization that I myself came to when I was young and had one of those stupid checklists. Funny thing was my husband and I were friends and went out with other friends and I was reciting this list. Hahaha! Little did I know that my soul mate was sitting right next…[Read more]

Love the message of your poem Thomas. It is a sad truth that some people are only looking out for themselves, but I have also seen some amazing acts of kindness during these difficult times. Let us hope for an infection of kindness to replace this pandemic.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your kind feedback Jyoti. Much appreciated.

I find the line breaks in poetry provide the pauses that I need and I don’t want to add question marks because It stops the flow and sing-song feel of a poem. It creates a pause that the end of the line will do, but not a full stop to think about the question, but to leave it in your mind and ponder once you’re finished reading the whole poem.

Powerful poem Richard. Your word choices stir emotions and I liked the rhythm and rhyme of this important topic.

Well done and thanks for sharing. Have an amazing day.

Great poem Christian. You transported me to your classroom and a time that I don’t have experience with, with inkwells. These girls would do way better than I would with a few of those words that you listed. The fear.

I liked the format you used for the teacher’s words right aligned.

Thanks for sharing and have a fantastic day.
