Exceptional

HI Alvin. I really think, perhaps, our site's
poetry would be better appreciated without
the art. I found your poem exception in its
imagery and use of the language.

I love the phrase "Solace in my quill". This is
a phrase to which any writer can relate.
I had found solace in my quill
Because therein could be expressed
That tragedy that gave me chills.
The pen and ink gave me some rest--

Yes!

And the read just got better and better.
Thanks for sharing this exceptional poem.

Thanks for the exceptional review. I greatly appreciate it. Yes, I once was given four stars separately by two different people for two poems because they didn't have pictures. I wasn't a happy camper about that. Thanks for your continued support. (I raised the rating on your Dime poem.)

I really like it, picture or no picture. I love how you talk about putting pen to paper in such a passionate way.

I look forward to more of your writing. Thanks so much for sharing.
