I am trying to spend more individual reading time with a poem - like a new, but bonding friendship. For me, it is as much of a challenge to read and reflectively comment as it is to write. I'm finding hidden meaning and emotion within and between words and verses, and much to see and learn. "Colors!" It brings me a lot of joy to read poetry, both here and "out there." I am always grateful for you and everyone here.
Thank you,

Who knows exactly when a poem begins its beginning, right? It seems to be waiting in the shadows for a spotlight and then, "Action!"
Thank you for reading and always generously sharing,
L

I am enjoying learning, growing and realizing just how much there is to share about poetry and life in general from your words, and the words of others here.
Thank you,

Thank you for your encouraging words! It seems when we write, there are equal parts we lose and gain, like the strains and emotions you mentioned. I have enjoyed reading your poetry and look forward to more.

As I spend time with poems here, I learn so much about the art - the magic of shaping words into communicating feelings and emotions. That process is amazing to me!
Thank you for your generous time with this, and for sharing your deep love for poetry.
Much love,
L

I appreciate reading and sharing poetry with all of you! I've learned great deal, and look forward to learning more.
Thank you, my friend!
