Such a truth expressed in these fifteen syllables. Poetry is a way of writing, a way of seeing the world, that is different from prose.

Excellent entry into this contest, Melissa and I wish you great luck with the Committee. :)

A beautiful metaphor. You are right; enough is never enough, too much is never enough. The photo with your submission fits well with your theme. It's a great little poem!

Yes it's true - poetry and writing seem to draw us in to express more, to reflect more but most especially to write more -it's a way of escaping too just a little !

    Thanks so much, Helen. I do read a lot of poetry and try to see points and angles that others have used or perceived to lead me into new thoughts and perceptions about writing. Some are old school, but new ideas pop into my mind because I've read them. Neruda is extremely good at inspiring me for content. Anyway, thanks for the lovely review.

    I'm guessing you are reading Neruda in translation, right? I wonder if it feels different in Spanish. When I took a Spanish class, I remember really enjoying the works of Gabriela Mistral.

Somebody asked me if I was satisfied when I had written my last post, my reply was that I looked forward to the next, "What's your best poem?" I haven't written it yet. Beautifully written Melissa, blessings Roy

Outstanding entry for the 15 Syllable Poem contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. I know how you feel about writing. It's so much fun and cathartic. Good luck inthe contest.

    Hi Gypsy. I really do feel that way and even though I have spells of being away from FS... I always think about writing. Thank you, my friend.

First, your notes -- to answer your question, (lol) I don't think we are ever satisfied. That quality seems to be 'inherent' for artists, period. :)

Your poem is a delight, and perfect.
