Hi Barb,
Simple, my dear friend, equals honesty, loyalty, and the need to express raw emotion which is harvested from your life's journey and you are everything, but stupid. And age has no role upon your stage. It is simply your muse taking back stage while awaiting the sun to shine within your writing soul.
Loved your poem filled with thought and purest wonder. It is a 6 star write. Thank you for sharing and God bless.

Comment from tony bronk
I have to wonder why I can't buy the fact that you are any less cleaver now than when you first started. And being affected by age. I don't think so. You are sharp and witty. Nobody's fool! Good write. Tony

Comment from marcellawachtel
A simple mind does not mean that you are simple-minded, To me it means you say what you mean and when you use imagery it is not imagery that is clear only to you. Simple is straightforward.Simple doesn't expect you to do research in order to understand. However, I expect that you will slide back for a while to that more esoteric level, for the fun of juggling words until they take the form of a puzzle we have to solve. Maybe. Best to you, Marcella

Thank you Marcella. Maybe, but I like being understood so much now it hardly seems worth the other anymore. Blessings dear lady. Barbara

Hi Barabara,
Gosh I really hope you don't think you have a 'simple mind', beacause I certainly don't think you do in the reading of this poem which shows good skill, good imagination and creativity. Dont put yourself down!

No I don't think I'm simple-minded. LOL. I was afraid it might be taken that way. It is why I added the note about the thought and its meaning. How sweet. Thank you Jules. Blessings. Barbara

I enjoyed this poem, free verse, and free flowing, especially the ending. I thought to myself, she is NOT stupid, I hope she doesn't really believe that. Then I read your notes, and thank goodness, your tastes and thoughts are simple, not you, my friend.
Warmest regards, Marijke
