Sounds like every writer's theme song to me, mikey. Well done. I like the line showing that blaze can burn or symbolize true love. It can also be a guiding light, a memorial. Aren't words fun and the placing of them has endless choices. Very well done.

How right you are, Mikey ! There's a fine line between snappy and sappy, not to mention crappy! LOL. This is nicely balanced between humour and truth. The joy you find in writing shines through, even if we had not already guessed it from your munificent output!

Mikey; just to bring it to your attention the meter in your third line 2nd verse has 11 syllable. Otherwise and that the rhythmic meter, tempo, cadence and timing all were very helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and easy.
Near notable alliteration's in "deft display". Your rhyming words were very contingent to the meaning and concept of each line, thus, your rhyming words were neither forced nor labored and helpful in the rhythmic flow. You wrote about writing as though it is your child ready to grow and be nourished to fulfill your inner dreams of happiness. Your description and expression of this writing was truly a picturesque imagery. Good luck in the contest and may the Lord be with you always Mikey.

I like this poem very much. It speaks to me... perhaps because what makes me happy is also playing with words, arranging words on a page, making words into musical lines... thinking about how they sound together, all the things you so cleverly describe in this poem. It is a truly neat poem, and I'm sure you will find many reviewers who relate strongly to what you are saying here. Good luck in the contest. I think it will do very well. MM

Thanks for telling me. Yeah, it's buried in the black background. It doesn't show up on classic. I may have to change the colors or something. It's in a different place in the new format, but I don't really use it. We'll see! mikey

I DON'T LIKE THE NEW FANSTORY

I don't think any of us do! The new members don't know any different I guess. Hey, classic for the classics!!

I have to agree. Writing can be good therapy. Even on a bad day when the words don't quite want to flow, it soothes the soul. Mikey, as always, this is very well done. Good luck.
Have a great day.

Well, Mikey, if you're happy, then I'm happy too. You write really well and your warm and scintillating personality always shines through.
I got a kick out of: Must put name on contest. Must put name on contest. Must put .... Kind of like wrapping an elastic band around our finger.
Super fun as always,
Gloria
