You’re absolutely welcome.

Forgive me for neglecting to share my thoughts on this...
The first contest l participated in was the one this was entered in and l found it remarkable--still do. Glad to see you have made it back around to this site, l appreciate your creative flair and anticipate you’ll ‘wow’ me again! more »

many thanks for sharing....l rather enjoyed this one too

They are truly mystical beings.

Holy heck this is terrific!!--almost like a succinct prayer for calibrating oneself for an impending task.

Excellently made!

I enjoyed this - you are bringing some talent to the table.

Good write!

Well, it doesn’t look like you’re struggling to get views but it is likely these are more from casual observers….Try not to think of it in terms of a social media setting. Although this site is interactive, people are drawn to what appeals to them and unfortunately, that interest may not be reciprocal. For what it's worth, l suggest you experiment with some different poetic forms or styles –if for no other reason than to say that you tried it. more »

Marvelous commentary....you're something of a poet (for sure)!

so what if they may think this sappy but this type of idealism is my groove.
I'll have to read your others as my curiosity has been aroused.

We don’t have to reward superficiality because society does.

Splendidly packaged poem ...
(my apologies for only now discovering it )
-this gently plods and prods to a satisfying conclusion.
Bravo!

Sure thing, when something catches my eye I like to let the writer know they’ve produced something of merit and value.

I’ve yet to even get a vote in the contests but, like a boxer, I keep coming back for more. It is interesting to learn about your exploits and l am fascinated that you have this creative side to you too. A good boxer is balanced in offense and defense and I feel that in writing a good poem, there must be an equal blend of the right elements as well.

Fare well in your hand-to-hand endeavors! more »

I’m sure that there is a short list of parties who are aware of the specific scene or situation the poet is depicting and though it is difficult to identify with, or get a handle on exactly what is being presented as a neutral reader, nevertheless -like any art you may not ‘get,’ you still know that there is something there- you know it’s art....this is definitely poetry---good poetry. more »
