Too true..... we have been waylaid by hapless indifference and power-mad, politically-correct clowns. Time for concerned citizens to stop this nonsense. Nicely-written reminder for us to do something about it. Thank you.

And what memories those whispers enchantingly recall! I agree with Karin that the 'softness' of this lovely rendering is prevalent but would like to add it is also thoroughly endearing.

Sky Ocean Puddle Oh, the joy of standing at the edge of a puddle after the rain has passed, and the sky is now a clear blue with a haze of calmness in the damp of the fresh air ................ and a surrounding feeling of peace. And I look down at the puddle with the reflection of that sky beckonin...

So that's where the "Snap, Crackle, Pop" originated! A lovely, inventive narrative.

A Line of Rhyme One fine, sunny afternoon, I think in the month of June, there was a Line of Rhyme alone wanting to find some home, .... wanting to find some tome. Rhyme had been searching for awhile a place with a bit of style, a place where it could gain friends of a similar refrain, .... friends ...

I just love these lighthearted Dickie Sparrow poem-stories of yours, Stella. Joyful, simple, entertaining fun. How many have you written now? Time to publish perhaps? - no, not perhaps - definitely! Happy Easter.

Happy Birthday, Stephen. Enjoy your day and thanks for all your hard work on this great site.

Forgot to add to my comment above - if I may choose a favourite line - I love: "I breathe in May, and exhale June ..."

This is, Richard, a wondrous celebration of your Alaska. And when I say your, I mean your Alaska that, in those moments, belonged to you and you alone because you felt, embraced, understood, savoured, appreciated and owned everything around you that you describe so succinctly and succulently. Indeed...

It is and It's and Its I posted this poem on Poetfreak at the beginning of last year - thought it might be useful for those who struggle with these pesky words. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is sad that many writers of English do no...

Treasure those memories, Mr Balch, sir, and keep on writing about cherished times. Thanks for sharing.

Puddle is such a lovely word. I remember as a child I would stand on the edge of puddles and get the feeling of falling into their depths, almost as if I was falling into the ocean so this enchanting write evokes special memories. Hey Puddle! You are an ocean to me! Thanks for this dream, Cindy.

A di-stracting di-scursiveness de-tected in the above comment - please de-lete the 2nd 'is'. Thank you.

An utter, de-cidedly de-vilment of a penning here. Ken! And perhaps playing the de-vil's advocate to de-bate the de-finiteness of what is de-filement or de-scriptive or de-fective or is di-sastrous or de-xterous or de-funct or de-ficient or de-?????? when de-construction of a presented poetic pennin...

A Brook of Words Have you ever listened to the sounds of words that tumble along a page as they flow from line to line and your thoughts engage? This brook of words that flows along its course of revealing feeds the avenues of your mind and stirs an innermost feeling. So heed the tumbling whispers a...

Happy Birthday, Joseph, be blessed and have a ball enjoying the woodland party with the friends that Stella has so expertly gathered around.

An impressive collection of happenings reminding us of the beautiful world we live in. Now let's get rid of the ugliness that spoils it. Thank goodness for poets like yourself who make this world more beautiful with writings like this.

A lovely tribute told with a loving heart. A real tug at my heart strings that brings back my own memories of my daughter's youth.

Dear Joseph, fret not any more// some rhyming verse is on its way,// in the form that you adore// and long for every day./// It's sad indeed that rhymes are rare// and hardly ever found.// But if you seek with patient care// they're bound to come around/// So here's a tip for you to heed// when seek...

Speedy recovery, Stella, and God Bless.

Ken, please read my 2 messages. I think I have sent them but I am a little unsure as they seem to be sitting in my outbox.

denysruak

That's entirely up to you. Maybe, just maybe, you could insert a dash at the end of line 2 and then maybe, just maybe, you could transpose the words in line 3 .... screeching, they lift off.

My understanding of this very clever 14 worded haiku, Ken, has just elevated my opinion of you another 17 notches and set fire to my imagination. Thank you for that, you are a master.

Precrastination Preamble: Precrastination is a recently coined word. Please look it up on the internet. Perhaps a deft, tongue-in-cheek definition could be: it is a precursor to procrastination. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Another of your well versed writings, Fay, with such positive thoughts to rest the weary mind.

A snippet of life beautifully told; Thanks for sharing.

Your well written sonnet reflects the unfortunate sad state of affairs we find ourselves in, Joseph. I despair at the thought of living in such a world and constantly have to jerk away from the horror we are confronted with while corrupt politicians and greedy men rape the rest of mankind. And then ...

Your masterful stroke is evident again.

Painted Reflections While walking down a cobbled street reading a book or two, there came to mind in an offbeat way painted reflections of you - ..... the way you smile ..... your hair in the wind. While sitting in a country lane mending my old canoe, there came my way in a hazy light painted reflec...

Ken, I am so glad to see you posting here so we can learn from you. In advance, I am looking forward to your tutorials on the wonders of Japanese forms of poetry so please may we have your guidance and thoughts. Mountains and forests are my favourite aspects of nature, although most of my attempts o...

..... and what a delight it is to drive through rain showers with your daughter appreciating the experience. I am surprised you even noticed the "grey outside" when there's such merriment around. Welcome to Stella's site, Ken - great to see you posting here.

What a lovely, positive, inspiring write giving excellent advice. Thank you so much, Seema. Have a great day!

Happy Birthday, Richard
I hope you had a wonderful day and I am sure you still have that big, goofy smile plastered on your face. So what was it - carrot cake or German chocolate?
Keep on writing, sir, and have a great year.

Why is it one battles to remember dreams. I know I do and this little write of yours, Tom, makes me yearn for those faded dreams even more. DRAT! (Which stands for "Dreams R Always Tantalizing").

denysruak

Fay, your understanding and writing of those little happenings in nature are a joy to behold which makes one appreciate the nuances one is apt to miss when not paying enough attention. I thank you for this.

What a lovely rendition of a spiritual walk - mystifying, sad and nostalgic. A touching write, very well rhymed, I just love this amble that hints at .... if only we would pay a little more attention .... a deeper meaning to life. Thank you for sharing.

And a Happy New Year to you, Karin. Thank you for this tumbling flow of words that's awash with imagery.

Ahh Stella, you give such good reason to enjoy the cold, wet. snowy season and, of course, you are right as each season has its own merits. Thank you for this compelling tribute, almost making me want to jump on the next airline flight to savour the crisp air but I think I'll just enjoy the picture ...

Oops and his Tootsies PutOn the Shoes and Tie the Laces are wearing sad little faces because Oops, out for a lark, is playing barefoot in the park. They are missing (the company of) his ten little toes, five on each foot - as everybody knows. Shall we count them? - you say when .... one, two, three,...
