Thank you Arqios. Is there anything better in this World than a Beaming Baby’s Smile?

Oh the tension, wit, and underlying emotions of the characters involved. The structured rhyming pattern and rhythmic flow evoke the charm of the Regency era, while providing a fresh perspective on the social dynamics at play. Well done! 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊

A interesting piece that makes you have a proper think, i am a non believer and i have always wanted peace over war, yet there are more than enough believers in life who do want war, so maybe it is not about if you believe or not. Enjoyed the read

This Poem is Ten-Years long
arqios said:

This poem speaks to the idea that every word written is a continuation of a legacy, a piece of a larger tapestry that spans years and lifetimes. It also brings with it a sense of reverence and gratitude towards poetry, acknowledging its role in giving life and meaning to the writer\'s words.I especially love the notion that \"Your blood so flows within the pen,\" which vividly illustrates the deep connection between the poet and their craft. The concluding sentiment, that the poem is \"Ten-Years long,\" elegantly emphasizes the enduring impact and lasting tribute of the poet\'s work. Thus it’s such a beautiful reflection on the power of words and the timeless nature of poetic expression. 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊

Nicely done. A fine write. This reminded me of Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas, and also a little of the Beatles song Penny Lane.

Behind closed doors, such an interesting poem. We really don’t know much about people at all. Once that door is shut, who knows what occurs. Much enjoyed Kevin. My mind drifted with this poem.

The Old Year
arqios said:

Ah, quite the late bloomer. Have a few of those in the back burner. But this one speaks of a year that wasn’t that bad, all things being considered. Certainly much better than the Covid years, at least in my opinion. 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

I smiled when you mentioned Miss Joan Hunter Dunn, Kevin. I have read many Betjamin poems and remember her. This is a lovely tribute to the Post Office Girl. We have one who is incredibly efficient. A fine love poem. That final line spoke volumes. Have a good Sunday.

This brings to me a melancholic reality of yearning for a specific connection while feeling disillusioned with the mundane aspects of life. It could quite resonate with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet longing for a lost or distant love. Thanks for sharing, Kevin 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
