Wayne's Poems - 32. Flutter

Lovely .. sweet and genuine.   And syllables don't matter ... I really like this as it stands.

Thank you, tim.

It's easy to write when emotion is involved. 🙂

I appreciate you reading and commenting.

Syllables schmyllables. You be you boo. 

Nice Wayne!

Nice Wayne!

I don't think there's any stopping that.

Thanks, kbois!

Does it say what you want it to say? Then the syllables being a tad off matters naught.

Sweet and Genuine 

This is perfectly lovely, wonderful and true.

@kbois said it exactly. 

Sweet and heartfelt, can’t ask for more. Thanks, Wayne

As I'm married to a poet, I think I can say syllables only matter if you're writing certain types of poetry. Even then a line that's 'out' by one or two, isn't important. What is important is the emotion and feelings expressed. 

This one you've written is perfectly clear. 

It touched me. That's a win for sure.

It does say what I want to say.

Thanks, Kitt.

I'm lucky that I get to express it. 🙂

Your poet said as much too. And it does feel nice on the tongue, even that last stanza.

I write best under extremes of emotion. The highs and lows do something, and they punch whatever creative center is in my brain to produce. Sometimes it's not worth posting. But sometimes ... something meaningful to me comes out, and here we are.

I've read this several times over last two days. It makes me think. It's sad but it has hope for the future in it to. I'm not one for poetry very much, but I like this.

Thanks for reading and for taking the time to comment, tigg615.

I'm happy the poem makes you think. It's a narrative, and I personally find those more engaging. I'm glad you felt pulled by this one - I certainly felt compelled to produce it.

Thanks again.

I read this and gave it a heart, but noticed some tear drop emojis.  I reread it again and realized that it could be taken quite differently.  I chose the heart because that is what I read.  I do like that it can be read differently by others.  It is a lovely poem that flowed soft and smoothly no matter the count.
