It can seem strange to see a lonely person doing nothing but writing. Of course, such a person can feel most free to express most powerful emotions, with no fear of what readers will say.

Hi Gypsy, in just a few lines you wrote a beautiful tribute to a beloved poet. Your poem reads and flows well and has good sensory appeal.

Of special note:
poured his bleeding heart
over tattered pages

(Good imagery. In my mind, the poet was dipping his quill into his splattered blood and writing with it.)

Well chosen photo. Beautiful presentation. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M

I like your your naani poem- good picture presentation as usual- excellent flow - poem paints a clear picture of an old poet - bleeding heart- putting his heart and soul into his creations - with passion - pages -saturated with love and country- good use of metaphors!!! Good job. AP

Another fine poem Gypsy....and one that sums up the writer's experience quite nicely, I don't compare to his caliber of writing----not in his league----but the principle's exactly the same

I'm sure many poets have felt this way as they attempted to write that one poem that will be perfect. I know I have struggled writing certain scenes that I feel must convey the message I want it to. Thank you for accurately describing this struggle.

This 25 word Naani speaks out and cries in pain and shame
...
This was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.

"The Mule"

The "Mule" is now on the back of Humanity.
People whom are mortally injured but mentally, pay a high price for continued Existance.
These are the few but many...
These are the ones whom cry so plenty...
The tears lead to and through a trail of Endless pains and shames...
Rape...
Thievery...
Desolation across this fine but hurting Nation.
God, when we I'll the violence ever end?
Thanks for sharing this and have a blessed day.

Some thought Bard was the real Shakespeare. With all that candles, it looks like he worked with hard. We work hard, too at the Fanstory. Love the presentation.

Well done.

It is the poet who feels the deepest and it makes sense that the pages of his writings are "saturated with love and passion." The love of country these days makes me think of how much division there is in the world because loving one country sometimes means hating another and that's so sad.

    No, it's not about division in America... it's about my mother country... but I guess you know that. I've been thinking about Spanish poet's lately and I found out they write about tragic love stories like I do...so it's a Spanish thing. LoL

    Thank you, big sister, love you.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Every once in a while, piece you post hits all the right notes for me, but that being said I remain frustrated not knowing how you input those pictures at the bottom of every submission. Instruct me please.
