	This is just…just, (don’t like to reuse the word, but again,) lovely. It makes the reader just sigh. It’s so sweet. Even its bittersweet undertones are forgiven by the resigned, yet peaceful delivery of the precious sentiments expressed. Yes, I too, have had thoughts like this on several occasions! Very nice, as usual. more » 15 days ago	View
	Lovely. As always. Dick Van Dyke? Really? No way. 15 days ago	View
	Thank you! (Again!) I’m so glad you are liking some of my own personal favorites. Some of mine are pretty generic. 15 days ago	View

	Yeah, but it happens to a lot of us regardless. I must have been stewing on something myself, because I can’t even remember what I was doing when the idea for this poem occurred to me! 9 months ago	View
	Thanks! I think a lot of us are inspired in the shower, the car, or our beds right before falling asleep, with much of our best stuff, right? 9 months ago	View

	Thanks. I did too. Didn’t generate a lot of interest, but I had to try it. How could I not, right? And I also liked the way it turned out. I tried to follow Poe’s poem as much as possible, while still staying true to our own story. Annabel didn’t care for it though- thought it was too negative. She’s my “Mistress Mary, Quite Contrary”! more » 9 months ago	View
	Hi Josephine! I had pinned your poem this month, because it so intrigued me. The words are as simple as can be, but I felt another underlying meaning. You said it was about scars, but I wonder if the idea was physical or emotional. I thought of people picking at others who’ve made mistakes, thus never letting them learn and move on- scarring them by forever altering their self-esteem. My husband read it as picking at yourself - reliving your own mistakes over and over till your psyche is too scarred to ever try again for fear of losing. Even if you had no intended underlying meaning, your verbiage was successful enough to spark further thought. Loved it- well done! more » 9 months ago	View
	Wow- that’s an interesting take! I didn’t read it that way at all, since it’s set in a graveyard. But, that’s such an intriguing thought. Now, I’d like to see how it could be subtly altered to incorporate this concept. Very creative thinking there! more » 9 months ago	View
	This is a fantastic poem! I love the intrigue, the story, the way the detail colors the scene and sets the mood, the way the author changes the verbiage enough to change the mood again when going from character to character, and the way the word selection seems so natural. On top of this fun story with the perfect and beautiful way it’s told, it has all I could want in a poem- an easy rhythm and well-done rhymes! I’ll be disappointed if this one isn’t our first place winner for July. Wish I could write like this! Loved it! more » 9 months ago	View

	Thank you so much! I will absolutely go back and read that one. I only got through 96 of them this time. My mom passed yesterday evening and I’d been spending a lot of time with her. I just ran out of time. Can’t wait to read it! And thanks again! more » 10 months ago	View
	Wow! Thanks for all this praise! I liked it too, but was like of bummed about getting only one vote. I’m so thrilled you liked it! Thanks for this!! 10 months ago	View
	It Would be nice to have the ability to start reading the June entries before they’re all submitted because there are so many to read. We also have a limited time to read the 150 entries in order to get our votes in. Thanks in advance for considering. :) more » 11 months ago	View

	This is kind of fun in its brevity. I had to read a couple times to understand it. Like it a lot. 1 year ago	View
