Thank you for your reminder to "never give up". I enjoyed your Lai and its rhymes and pattern, which does reflect a winding trail, along with your photo. Cheers and enjoy the weekend- Joan

P.S. ruzu27, who lives in Switzerland, recently wrote about a Danube cruise and was curious about my comparing the river and delta to our Mississippi. I referred her to your recent poems.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Love it! It sayS so much, crystal light, positive, empowering. And so true, how challenges pale below those which prevail to be an oft returning memory of one's life journey!

Again I admire your photograph and all the poetic detail. Great work, one I might like to use as an inspiration for family and friends, if that is OK by you. Blessings and thanks, Maureen*&*

    Great! Lovely to meet someone of like heart! I assumed the welcome to share anything that opened the avenue to share, but was warned, very graciously, it is not always so, because of copyright considerations. And, admitting my L plates in many areas, I am happy to reinforce that I think a work would be a gift to others, and moreover, give them an insight into FanStory. Blessings for your week, Maureen*&*

Excellent. I do admire good poetry and this is very good. Your message comes through loud and clear. I don't see any errors in spelling or otherwise. I am not much of a poet myself and don't understand all the different forms.

The winding trail rather than the straight and narrow always takes more effort, especially if uphill. Endure it and you will be stronger for it. I may be wrong, but I detect a slight nod to Frost's "The Road Not Taken". And here I thought you had to go to Hawaii to get a Lai ( Lei).

    Thank you Ravenblack. That's a good nod to make. Hadn't thought about that Hawiian connection.
