Wow! This is so heart beating. It brings you a desire to dance. Loved it.
Thank you.

Hi Kat
No, not really. See the reply to EDamon. I appreciate very much your sensitivity to human suffering. Most of the readers preferred the first poem. Me too, wonder the same.
Thank you for your valuable comments.

Hi EDamon
Actually no. I first wrote the first poem, then had the idea of writing the second.
It just came out to be so. Literally you could say the first one is lovely, the second is lonely.
Thank you for reading and commenting.

Hi SJ.
Right, you only live once. Why care gossip or jealousy? Live as you wish.
Excellent.

Now, that’s a very fine work. Not at all slaughter.
Thank you.

You met the deadline
And did it really fine
Thanks for your design

Hi Annette
Very touching in its sincerity.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Srivalli
Thank you for commenting. Right, I wish I lived in such a house.
I am glad you noticed the contrast. That’s the way it goes with life.
Indeed I will have to do the job again.
Be well.

HI Liz.
Yes, we all get mad with the rhymes. But once done, they are exhilarating.
Writing poems is, of course, not only rhyming. Everyone finds his favorite genre.
Uneasy, doubt provoking poems have their own place.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Halimah
Nice job with the rhymes. Also worthy suggestion of peaceful life.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Christy
Thank you for your comment. Looks like everyone prefers the first poem. We would all like to live in such a house. I would like to find the one who finds it!
The second poem is still part of our life, though we would prefer not to have itl
Thanks anyway.

Hi Jesmond
This is the first poem I’ve read that paises rhyme. Most others contempt it.
True, reasonable rhyming is a tough job, but it can also be exhilarating. I liked the line “My thoughts I write, wash my grime”.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Christy
Nice job of rhyming. As I read this I wished it would continue with its realism, sensitivity and love seeking.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi William
Nice rhyming and full of sensation. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Christian
I am glad you liked the poem. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you Jane. Let’s set to work and do the job again.

Hi Maria.
This is a very nice job. The text is sensitive and delicate, and the subtext much the same.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Maria. Kind of you.

Hi Katharina
I like the ‘non-standard’ structure of your poem. The shaping is also a piece of art. Sometimes it is really necessary to take leave from all reason but ours.
Well done and thank you for sharing.

Hi Jane
It seems none of us guessed what the prompt of next month will be.
Heartbreaking, but very nice and well done.
