Hey, A ... thanks very much. Yeah, the first one was supposed to be a journey.. but it wasn't blank verse, but it was an okay poem. In the second one i sort of felt the hugeness of space ... and well really for all we really know we could be alone ... so who will fix this mess if we don't? Thanks for your excellent comments.. i appreciate them very much.

Thanks molly. i mostly put them because i know you like to read them. i hope others do too. Thanks for your support and comments xoxo

Yesss, Sir. no quitting, i was going to get it right no matter what!!

Ah, Wayne, you are a star! LOL.. thanks for your brilliance and comments. I appreciate both.

Poetry Prompt 7 Blank Verse The Prompt: imagine you are free-floating in space, in orbit around the Earth. Don’t worry about a spacecraft or spacesuit – you are just able to orbit the earth – describe what you see, feel, think and expect to happen. Make it at least 10 lines, but remember, the more practice the better. Try to make it as long as you can. So with those instructions i went to off to write. The following is an okay poem, but it is not blank verse. I tried abo

That sounds great.. i liked it a lot!

I became a member to tell an author i enjoyed his work. We became friends and he encouraged me to post my first poems. What kept me here? The generous and kind people who pulled me into their circle. They read my work and i read theirs and others. Their acceptance pulled me out of my shell. @Cia helped me while i messed up posting things, with humour and kindness. So did many other staff members. They are a wonderful giving bunch of people. But Cia is also right when she says you get out what you put in. I read a lot.. commented a lot. Supported people's efforts. I put in the time and effort and i met my wonderful editor and other wonderful writers and poets. GA is my home away from home. I love it here. There is something here for everyone. You just need to look. And Read.. and Comment and Like .. because only those things encourage authors to keep writing.

I'm not sure why you think you cannot write free verse. Said it before, they are among your better work. There is feeling in them, life and most especially...you.

This is for @mollyhousemouse

I love you too. And A is right. You dont need to ride the mustang...just walk along side of him for now. Get back on when he is calmer. xoxo

3 is not a crowd. Frankly it's a nice place to be..there in the middle...

Thank you very much Parker. i appreciate you taking the time to read this and for your comments.

thank You, Sir. i find being out among trees especially, very emotional and moving. i've never really left the city much . but i like trees very much. So it's easy to find that emotional place when i write about nature or being in it. That's why i think it was so easy to write The Promise ... Thanks very much for Your comments, Sir. xo

Thanks JeffreyL.. i appreciate you reading and your comments very much. I'm glad the feeling came through. xo

Sometimes 8 syllables isn't enough ... once upon a time that was too much! Using 9 or 10 gives you more flexibility. Thanks for reading this. xo

Thanks for reading it. i am glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, AC. You are so good to look at these and offer support and advice. It's very helpful and means a lot. Thanks for being so generous. xo

it is finished ... i'm glad you like it xo

thank You, Michael. i hope she would xoxo

Some may like/feel like this today: and some may feel this but i hope this didn't happen:

Soooo ... it's been awhile since i posted one of these prompts. Busy all through May and i was writing, but now i'm done so here we are. The prompt called for lines of 8 syllables, but i chose to change that to 9-10-10-9 because i don't always like 8 syllables. And this piece isn't perfect ... after talking with AC, i need to work on stanza's where all lines relate to a single idea. It's not an easy or simple thing but i have to agree that he's right. I will work on that. So here is my a

RIght .. i love that face..
