fly, fly, fly, and stretch your wings to the ends of the earth and keep going with your mind open with great poems. WHY? because you can

Thanks Graydon - I'm happy to bring enjoyment! And thanks for taking time to comment!

Excellent write RLW!
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Always a pleasure reading your work.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thanks MHenry. I'm a work in progress - as is my poetry!

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thanks Dwayne - glad it spoke to you!

[MHenry]

Well written expression of empathy in poetic verse. Nice work RLW!

[DWAYNE]

Very defiantly expressive.

I really connected with this!

[pipersfancy]

Heck - we're all beginners, RLW! At least, I like to think of myself that way. Of course, I like to leave plenty of room to grow!

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Well, I'm a rather a beginner, but I am enthusiastic - so I'll do what I can!

[pipersfancy]

Very good observation! Now... if we can just devise a way of getting the general population world-wide to start reading and writing poetry... we'll be on our way!

Thanks pipersfancy - for reading and taking time to comment. So true what you say..the older I get the more I truly believe compassion (some would call it love) is the only answer to living together in any kind of peace on this earth. And one thing I like best about having found this forum is that I am able to see and read many other perspectives - many other ways of knowing and living the truths of life. Yet amazingly, despite differences of background - so many life experiences remain, at base, the same. We are more alike than we are different - and poetry has ways to bring that to the fore.

Beautiful expression of sentiments, RhymeLovingWriter. We would all hope that others might take our perspective now and then, just as it is our duty to try and take the perspective of others when interacting with them. (It would certainly reduce conflict in the world, if we could all remember to do this at least most of the time!)

Lol - I'm never sure (at least at this early stage of my poetry writing adventures) how long it will hold true! For now, it is an apt description of where/what I'm most able to produce. I'll continue to try to stretch my wings and grow into other types and styles of verse - but I figured it was a pretty safe bet on a forum at a place called the Rhymezone!

[Hawa Diawara]

No problem, anytime. And let me just say, you definitely own up to your name RhymeLovingWriter

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thanks Hawa - wow - what a beautiful compliment (not that I want to make anyone cry - but at least it was followed by a smile)! Thanks for reading and taking time to leave a note!
