This was a very lyrical poem. You voiced your thought well. Nice flow of rhythm and rhymes. Good visual imagery created. Creative. Good assonance with an even flow of vowels. Nice work.

    Well, hello Harry Smith, I am truly delighted to meet you and certainly honored and thankful for your lovely review and generous stars! I have been here on Fanstory for a very long time and am now dedicated to encouraging all of my poetic friends to try and concentrate on delivering POSITIVE AND ENCOURATING poems of inspiration that will bring a focus on the GRATITUDE we must celebrate in contrast to the dark and negative, hateful, spiteful news and MEDIA that are raining doom and gloom over our wonderful country. I hope you will join me in this effort as you consider the possible messages you might offer in your works here on Fanstory. Perhaps you will review my works on POETIC RAIN? please stay close and I'm eager to know you better. HIS GRAYNESS; Vance

Thank you sir for sharing this. The writer has an obligation to the reader to try in my opinion to put forth his/her best pen. You brought to light this point so well. Well done.

Very nice! And I think you've managed to capture a process that many of us are after... writing something of essence that inspires without demeaning or disturbing others. I enjoyed!

Simply outstanding. I love to the theme, the flow, meter and rhyme.
The message in this is very consistent with your work;very positive.

I love when you put in the word "pontificate", it was the perfect word to use.
The only place that I could see for improv-ement as if you had a couple of spaces in between the lines like this:

~~~~~~
This pen and Paper's my decision
Whereupon I shall share my mission
Words meant strong to make some see
What chunks of wisdom
may have captured me

With caution deep I shall be clear
That none of them shall offer fear
That only love and hopeful sights
Shall guide the pen and words it writes

While on this site I'll contemplate
How I shall not ever pontificate
But work my best towards
Somethings great!
~~~~~~

Great writing, I loved it!

I noticed that you use no punctuation. Whereas I might have put a couple commas in, I found it to be appropriate.
