Well, cherries are hard to earn, but this poem deserves one - just loved it - this is exactly the kind of poetry which I love to read - you have a real talent.

I agree with that. Pure brilliance, shoe.

Shoe, well done. There is a steady and yet inexorable building and development of the theme and feeling throughout the piece. It's wonderful how the poetry conveys this measured incremental communication and this device juxtaposed with the ideas in the poem operates as a mirror to the sentiments and as a cipher for our appreciation of the whole thing. Absolutely excellent submission.

Great ending, and thankfully there are no rules in writing poetry.

Well done, Shoe.

Lavadis, that is perhaps the most encouraging comment I've ever had, I'm all puffed up!!

Thanks Stan,:)

Scratch...thank you, I really enjoyed reading your thoughts, much valued and appreciated.

BR...I'm learning that...albeit slowly. Cheers.

Tony, thank's for the pick, I'm all aglow!

Such a clever poem shoe, and great ending.

Great POD pick - more great poetry. :-)

This piece just oozes empathy - they say the difference between genius and madness is not very big, this poem puts this notion on a smaller, personalised playing field.

The last line is fantastic.

great stuff Shirley xxx

Thank you seashore, fb, Kheldar...I'm not a genius so I must be a little bit mad!!

Absolutely love the first stanza, shoe! Brilliant and cleverly crafted poem. Well done on the cherry and the picks :-)

This piece has blown my brain into bits. It's pure amazingness. Very strong.

Just a question - if I may... do you think it's possible to reach enlightenment if you've skipped the labelling and textbook process?
Great writing :-)

Thanks Maggie,

Hi Shannon, imperative that you do, I should think.

Touche shoe... the stuff dreams are made of has made my life very intriguing for me and those textbooks have created some of the ideas that I've been able to play with, argue, dispute, concur and everything else with :-) Keep well. Shannan
