sometimes there are just lines that shine

Thank You

I agree with Esker and Jess. Your poetry shows great improvement and potential. Yours is a joy to read.

When someone reads your work
And responds, please be courteous
And reply in kind, thanks.

my brain is already overloaded with burdens of self- conceit
Ego ... what more!
