	Actually I went to add it and remembered I did already. It's called "Lonely Friend". 2 years ago	View
	I'm glad you feel that way because that is what I was trying to convey. I feel it is important to give encouragement in any way possible. You never know who is on their last straw. I have an early poem of mine about the dangers of the internet but I'm reluctant to post it. It was intended to be mostly informational and it's not the best of poems. I still may do it. more » 2 years ago	View
	I didn't realize that some of the ended abruptly, especially the free verse ones. Please give me an example of a couple of them so I can see what you mean. Yes, that's why I like free verse also. My mind still wants to make it rhyme at times so I need to ready myself each time. I'm a stickler for spelling and I do use a thesaurus when I can't think of anything or I want to use something other than the normal words I use. A grammar guide I never even considered. I'm going to read yours again now. I hope to discover something I missed the first time around. more » 2 years ago	View
	I'm ready to post it now. It's called "Don't Give Up". It's not a well written as yours but I'm not quite at that level yet. 2 years ago	View
	It's great how true love can just turn our way of thinking around completely. 2 years ago	View
	I forgot to mention that Free Verse is probably my favorite type of poetry to read and write. I have written only 7 or 8 of them but nothing on this level yet. If you care to find the ones I did write and give me some advice, I'd appreciate it. more » 2 years ago	View
	Damn! That was intense. It had me captivated the entire time. I don't believe I'll ever be able to express myself so elegantly. Maybe in time and maybe in rhyme I'll get to this level. 2 years ago	View
	I loved it. It also gave me an idea for a poem that I finished right after reading yours. It's called "First Sunset". Thanks for the idea and the beautiful poem. 2 years ago	View
	I tried to read this last night right before bed. I didn't get it. This morning I tried again and I understood it completely. Every stanza well written. I hope to be able to express myself in poem like this someday. more » 2 years ago	View
	This made me think about our government. So much talk and so little action. 2 years ago	View
	Interesting topic. It gave me an idea of a poem I should write. I hope to be able to express as much passion as you did here. 2 years ago	View
	Well the ending surprised me. I never watched Oprah but this poem made me think of every good mother in the world. 2 years ago	View
	For me this tells a story of a homeless lady being ignored in the streets. Even when she dies, no one notices or respects her. It's sad to think that this probably happens more often then we'd like to believe. more » 2 years ago	View
	My take on it sees an excessive gambler always hoping for that big score. Always seeing his mistakes after it's too late. Nice writing. It kept me engrossed throughout. 2 years ago	View
	Sounds like you went from being suicidal to finding a little hope. That was my take of the poem anyway. I thought that "Out nut" should of been "Our nut" so that's the way I read it. more » 2 years ago	View
	I think it's good for someone with these kind of struggles to express themselves. Poetry is a good way. This was a sad poem for me but I liked it. 2 years ago	View
	Both my parents are still alive {knock on wood} but I felt this poem. Maybe because my best friend ever was cremated and it made me think of him. 2 years ago	View
	I like it. I didn't get that he committed suicide from the poem but I felt that the virus got him. Either way it's sad and I hope you are doing better now. 2 years ago	View
	I like it. I hope to be able to express myself so well someday in my poems. 2 years ago	View
	It's sad that so many young people take their lives because someone else can't cope with the demons in their own lives. All well written poem. Thank you for sharing. 2 years ago	View
	A very good poem in my books. It could even be great but I have not learned to appreciate all the wonders of poetry yet. I do know that I like it a lot. 2 years ago	View
	Good one. I really like this free verse stuff to be able to express yourself more freely. This one gave me a couple of ideas on how to maybe write another one. 2 years ago	View
	I like it. Free Verse is one of my favorite types of poetry writing. I've only done a few of them but I plan to do more. I like how you zeroed in on the final objective. I have a free verse that I thought was too long, but I guess mine wasn't. more » 2 years ago	View
	For me it's unique. I have not see this poem format before. What is this format called? It makes me want to see if I can do this also. Free Verse was fun maybe this will be also. 2 years ago	View
