You didn't take so long. This is one of the poems that I removed from public view. Tough decisions, but I have to live with myself. I'm doing Ok but a little overwhelmed today. Thank you so much for your compliments and this housewarming review, you always find a way and also come through.
It is OOOOhlongggg! lol
With love, Mike

Wouldn't be a horrible thing knowing that I wear my thoughts and inspirations on my sleeve if it ended up seeping on to the skin. lol

No notes this time. I'm used to reading them lol.

Interesting thought that crossed your mind.

Undertaking such an
endeavor has been called
an act for the insane.

Yeah, why would one want to look for a needle through such an imposible task. Enjoyed the read and play of ideas in your head for us to ponder.

No notes, recent events and I wanted to just convey an idea. Also look out for other person. Insane, but another needle in a haystack is love, is it not some times? But this is far more concerning of simple friendship. That's all.
Thank you very much for your review.

Hi Mike. This is certainly a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of philosophical poetry. I guess if the needle is worth looking for we will continue the search lol

I'm ok Mike. Thanks for asking. I haven't been on site much lately so I'm trying to catch up with reviewing and will attempt to write something if I can find some inspiration lol. Hope you're ok? Hugs, Wendy

Aw, Mike, this is really a fun piece to read. I like the way the word "Really?" stops the reader to make him think. Always a pleasure to read your well constructed poetry. Hope you had fun at the convention! Hugs, Sara

Thank you for your compliments and this review. I did think of a pack of needles before titling it, but that reminds me of the couch my mother did needle work on. I was stretching and sneezed, my elbow found those needles. I really didn't notice the other ones until I pulled out the one that was lodged between the joint.

yes a very interesting thought, nice idea and it probably would cause less pain than looking forever for something that you just have no chance of finding, bit like life really

A bit like life? Should this be analogized with compassion, what about honesty? thank you for taking the time to review this one.

Hi Mike K2,

I must have run through tons of hay and it wasn't all too painful, but I do think I found my needle in a haystack...I agree its likely less painful to run through and get your foot pricked than hoping against hope of finding it the hard way...but to each his own. Its your own foot, after all.

I thought it a nice reflective poem on the lighter side of emotion. Nothing adverse to say here.

Thank you
Marea

It would be better to find
it by running through one's
own foot, thus causing...
...less pain.
This would be my choice. What a clever and well thought out poem. I really enjoyed reviewing this one

I like the light tone about how hard it is to find the needle. The twist at the end really drives home the idea of how futile it is to look for one.
