Bright and Shiny

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Ha Ha TS - close enough and it fits the mood of the piece nicely I think.

[The second]

RLW I dont want to plagiarize the title so I will say this was jumpy and bright Thank you

If this was junk in someone's eyes, it would mean that they are blind.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thank you Suz-zen! Good to hear from you.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

LOL! Well, I'm glad it isn't junk in your eyes - though it very well may be someone's, they've been polite enough not to classify it so!

[Suz-zen]

This is wonderful !! Thank you !

[N. Y. Sonnet]

Reminds me of the saying 'One man's junk is another man's treasure'... This poem is, indeed, a treasure!!!!

Thank you rhymetime - I like your take. In fact, I'd second it. I've learned a massive amount of interesting information - and felt both blessed and flabbergasted by exposure to alternative interpretation of some different works - during the whole past year of interaction with others in the Zone. It's all about learning, something new - and that almost always makes me smile. Thank you for the read and taking time to comment!

As I read I thought of us here in the Zone. We seek honest appreciation. You are right, there is nothing new about which to write but there are endless new ways to express it. It's not enough to be appreciated once. We crave repeated reassurance
That's my take

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thank you Karen. For me, there is something new every single day it seems.

Love this Paula, new for you!

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thank you Tony! I'm always amazed, when learning new things (which is several times a day at least) how many new things there are to know. Some of them are wonderful, some of them are abrasive, but all of them are there, just waiting to be discovered. So much like Ecclsiastes 1:4-11, 'nothing new under the sun', but totally new to this little soul. Then, of course, comes the urge to write about it.

Hello RhymeLovingWriter, 'Joy jumped or jittered and the 'old made new' like a shiny new penny. And many pennies for your thoughts in this outburst of poetic energy. I have very much enjoyed reading this. It's great poetry. Regards, Tony.

Overly sweet tea and nails on a blackboard simultaneously - that would be torture! Sorry for that. I'll see what I can do about it. I get carried away sometimes.

A really musical delight, this, Rhymist, haunted by a lively Hopkinsy ghost. Brava! I balk only at 'fancy's fondled feat' - like finding too much sugar in one's tea at the precise moment nails are scraped down a blackboard.
