A poem about saying something awkward4 total reviews
Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
First of all, in case you haven't read your pm messages I think you have three from me, your birthday poem and a lot of cool messages from people in the reviews.
This poem is adorable and I love your quirkiness too. I love how you start it out romantic, but it soon turns awkward with the clowns as you call it and becomes laughter that is the most fun kind of romance there is. Wonderful job and a fun poem. Thanks for sharing. Debi

Those sweet words and having you so happy is exactly why this is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. Thank you for being so gracious, my very very dear friend. Hugs!!

Your poem brings out one of greatest qualities in life. To not only laugh at others, but to be able to laugh at ourselves, and not take everything so seriously. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to read and review my poem.

Could I ask you a question? Do you think the last stanza takes away from the poem? I am wondering if it flows and is effective or if it isn't necessary?

As I've often said, when it comes to poetry, I wouldn't know a sonnet from sorbet. Personally, I like the last stanza and think it fits, but it's a personal thing. A poet's heartfelt words should be their own. The more you write the better they blend, a unison of paper and pen. When I came to this site, I barely knew a noun from a verb, and I like to think I've improved. There are many talented poets and writers on this site who will be willing to help you in any way they can. And sadly, there are numerous who aren't so kind and willing. Jealousy and envy strike from everywhere. Why don't you say hello to my sweet friend Karenina. Just tell her I told you to say hello. She is an outstanding poet, but most of all, she is a wonderful person who is always willing to help anyone. Best of luck with your writing. I look forward to reading your talents and watching them grow. :-) Ric

Thank you! I will reach out to Karenina. I'm still learning and I know my poetry is not very disciplined. I love expressing myself though.

You do a great job! We all have lots to learn, even those who've been writing all their lives.

I like this poem. Alot of people take themselves seriously. Life is too short. It's not worth it. I like your whole idea. We might as well take one day at a time and do the best we can. Very good job

Thank you so much for the review. Yes, I have had to learn to laugh at myself. Most of the time the other person doesn't even think twice about the silly things we say.

This is a lot like me, too. I like to think it is inner joy. Excellently written and expressed. Everyone is different and when we find the right partner, our "awkward" differences, are their dream come true! Good photo presentation too, Best wishes!

Thank you for your review. My daughters laugh and say my awkwardness reminds them of the characters Kristen Wiig plays in movies. Lol! I'm a bit of an introvert so that contributes to my social awkwardness.
