Whew...wish I had a bag of sixes for you. This is superb. Covers EVERYTHING with lucid clarity and honesty that echoes in the reader too.
Lovely artwork. Well presented with interesting and effective creative spacing.
Bravo and kudos.
Love, rd

Mrs. KT, this is a wonderful piece of poetic art. A beautiful statement of self reflection that encompasses all human emotion, convisitons and belief. I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent poem..jlsavell

I think this poem is brilliant! I loved everything about it; the concept, the way it's set out, the minimalist use of strong words that say so much with so few,the colours used, the accompanying artwork and the message. It felt to me like you'd looked into my own heart and pulled all of the words out from there! I identified with all of the verses, but I especially like;
I have no answers for
The why of loss
The when of pain
The how of regret
The what if of perhaps
It speaks to me of a normal, everyday person contemplating their past, present and future and owning their mistakes, regrets and dreams. I loved it! (wish I'd written it!!) Well done, Regards, Jan

Hi Mrs. KT,
A Very Nice poem! I like all of the sentiments you have with one exception: in the first stanza, "I possess... less than others think." I would think it would be more as no one truly knows all that each is capable of.
But a great poem nonetheless. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Nice writing, I like the ponderous statements that paint a vivid picture and imagery of the person. The flow and rythm is good as is the story and point of poem. No spags or corrections of any kind.

My, this is quite an introspective accounting of what you think and who you are. I am very impressed that you could be so clear and succinct about matters quite complex and issues that we would often rather not analyze. The format was quite inventive and the picture very resonant. BRAVO!

This poem is beautifully written and beautifully displayed, I think it is clever and creative and most heart-felt. You didn't indicate that it was designed to be any one specific format, but I do feel that since you had six three-line items before your fourth one, the ones you have no answers for, perhaps this one should be three lines as well. If not three, perhaps five so that you fulfill all of the"W's", the who, what, when, where, and why of it. Anyway, I really like the ending "Tostill surprise." mslyla

Yours are thought-provoking sentiments. Thank you for sharing. However, I rather enjoy structure, so I find your verses 5, 7, and 8 a bit disconcerting because they break the pattern that was working so well in verses 1-4 and 6.

Kind of like life, yes? The breaking of patterns, I mean :>) I love structured poetry as well, but with free verse, one has the opportunity to break out of structure and just let the thoughts flow...So pleased you enjoyed! diane

Yeah, I know it isn't WRONG, and that's why I gave you 5 stars. I just expressed my druthers.

I absolutely love this!!! Everything is said simply, even though the emotions and ideas are not. I think (well hope anyway) that many of us feel the same; I know I do:)
Great job!!!!
