I think of laughter,
And tears
the touch of the years
The things that go "wot"?
So what have we got?
A tie that binds,
tenuous at best
"and with God be the rest"
Letty, I just put the phone down after speaking to "D" and read yr piece.
You are now responsible for making me cry today morning.....
Gautam, my friend, if I have raised an emotion in you, albeit a sad one, then I feel as though my poem was a modest success. Thank you, and we'll shed a few together.
The line "Things that go wot" really got me going - as "wot" was "D"'s answer to almost question
I shouldn't read things like that, but very nice just the same.
Gautam, I'm not certain who "D" is, but it must be someone you care for. Well, tears are cleansing. Now, we need to get on with stuff, don't we.
Hey, Wilso. Thank you. I'm glad you did read my poem.
There should be a separate topic in original writing for just original poetry. These days I can't really be bothered reading an entire short story from the computer screen. But poems being shorter are easier to read. I'd be much more inclined to click on a poetry forum.
The length of posted material has been the subject of much discussion, Wilso. Somehow it's difficult to read long and extended pieces on a forum. You ought to write more poetry. The one that I read was quite good.

Why is it that the easiest time to write things like that is when you're feeling bad? That poem seemed to jump into my head in about 5 minutes at one o'clock in the morning. It didn't require any effort at all.
edgar, you dear thing. That smiley face is an approval rating. Learned that already
Wilso, it's because you can identify with what I wrote. That's why I love poetry, especially compressed poetry.
Compression is what I aim for. It really helps when writing short stories, too.
Hey, edgar and all. I'm gonna try something new in the original writing thread. Hope you all will join me there.
Hey Letty , you made me write a poem today for "D" - its back in the spontaneous poem thread.....
Gautam, I read it, and it was beautiful. Haven't had a chance to respond to it yet.
