    Wow, thank you so much for the fantastic review and the big sixer, Christine. I promoted the piece up to more than a buck and I was dumbfounded at how few reviews it received. None of which made mention of how much work into what I was actually saying. Thank you for grasping the concept. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars and good luck wishes, C. Thank you again. You made my night. Glad to see you jumped on the fan wagon.

    ;)
    Have a wonderful night.

Patience or patients? Yeah, yeah, everything is poetry except a few math textbooks and a couple of grocery lists...grumpy little prompt...excellent rhyming quatrains...

Maybe I'm wrong, but what I got from this poem is that the specific poet has been having problems writing. The passage of time seems to be his biggest enemy, as it has exhausted him or he feels that the current state of poetry is just not as good as it used to be. Very well written. I wish you good luck!

    Thank you for the excellent review, Insider. Yes, that's exactly what the piece is getting at. It's just that over time it all sounds the same anymore. I really appreciate the generous stars and good luck wishes. Have a great day.

The author's words are sad, descriptive, interesting and
creative. The reader pondered on the sadness in this poem.
There is an emptiness I felt as I read on. The poem flows
and connects well.

I enjoyed reading this work, you have created some great images and the message of a writer who's lost his edge or maybe feels the pen is not as powerful as it once was. great rhyme in abab. little blip on the radar, stanza8, line3--patience/patients..

    Thank you for the great review and for pointing out the goof, meeshu. I'm glad you caught the gist of the piece. Too many people thought I was talking about poetry in general, not the poet's own view on his own work. Who knows, lol. Thanks again, friend. Have a good one.

A very well-written poem about the words we think, talk, and write is all powerful and we should be careful how we apply each word and thought. In poetry we have more freedom to say what is on our mind without offending anyone because it is a form of art.

This poem had a message that I interpreted as writing has become more of a chore than a creative outlet. This poem hit three of the four criteria I rate poetry on. It rhymes, it makes sense, and it invokes emotions within the reader. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for the great review, Earl. Might I ask what the fourth is? I appreciate the generous stars and good luck. Have a great day.
reply by Earl Corp on 16-Dec-2018
    It could be one of four categories: If its spiritual, entertains me, makes me laugh, or gives me a smile for the day.
reply by the author on 16-Dec-2018
    Ah, okay. Yeah, it might not have fallen under any of those categories. Lol. Have a good one. Thanks again.
