This was a beautiful poem. Where have you been? I thought we'd lost you! The poem is a lovely one, praising the artists of poetry, our inner thoughts and feelings, our moods poem by poem. I love the line that says, in part; "...the tender un-guarded clothesline of life." That's both eloquent and moving. Good to hear from your again, Vance.
Every good wish, Mike

Wow, Vance what a wonderfully beautiful work. I was entranced and captured from the first line. This stunning free verse is blissfully enchanting. Great to see you back, my Vegas friend, and with a work of such fine quality.

Kindest of regards

Julie :-)

Wonderful, lovely flowing poem. You certainly are a poetic master. I especially liked, "Hanging your word gifts on the tender-unguarded clothesline of life." Wish I'd thought of that! well done. Be blessed, Jude

This is an amazing piece. I have felt and can feel every word, thought and emotion. And I can relate to every word, thought and emotion. :) While we can encourage one person through a single review, you have managed to encourage an entire population with a single poem. That is a gift. On technicality, well done. On everything else, beautiful.

It is a nice piece. I am glad I read the authors notes, before I went on about the flow, and the needing something more. It is an appreciative poem, and there is nothing more beautiful than the words one speaks from their soul. Thanks for sharing!

Well the poets of the world should be so lucky as to have this tribute to them. If that's what you were going for. This piece reads nicely and builds a nice picture of the quintessential poet. A great read that I really enjoyed.
