A Girl\'s Private School
Dunmoaning said:
Interesting thoughts, but perhaps lacking the insight that personal experience would give. I would like to make it scan better but confess that while I feel as if by doing that, I could improve it, I do not feel I am able to create the original.

Boarding School
Dunmoaning said:
Quite touching to one like me who never experienced boarding school but feared i would not enjoy it. I had one experience of being sent off to Scout Camp at age 11 and at first, experiencing being bullied by a guy about a year older than me, was thoroughly miserable. After a couple of days and the offer that I could be sent home by train, from the kindly and sensitive Scoutmaster, I was moved to another tent and, in a more friendly environment, survived the week. If poetry is supposed to generate an emotional response in the reader then this poem is certainly a success with me.

Boarding School

Bought back vivid memories - of the literature available to me as a boy (just before war stories became the go).
The closest I ever got to one and I have no idea how I would have fared (possibly in retrospect, not well).

Going Back
Dunmoaning said:
I enjoyed the description and sense of nostalgia but have personal reservations about blank verse- poetry without rhyming or scanning. Burns never wrote it that way!

A generous and thoughtful take on the frailties of womankind, from a man of experience!

I Wish I were a Fish!
Jane Frye said:
Might not be all that great to be a fish,
You could end up on someone\'s dish!
What a fun and clever poem you wrote.

Laura - A Limerick
Doggerel Dave said:
Was an excuse this old fellow called Ted
Made for a decision to leave their bed:
The demands she made of him
Felt like a trip to the gym -
No time for sleep he crawled out and fled…

The Sun

It would take 8 minutes at least for us to notice anything that could be happening to the sun. The implications of this lag is enormous. Thanks for sharing. /Rik.

Cyberfriends
arqios said:
In days of yore there were pen friends or penpals they were termed. Some of whom became cyberfriends as technologies became commonplace. Makes one wonder when holographic and cyborg-proxying shall begin as a normal day to day thing. In it all, the sharing and the caring are staple exchanges that have been so through out the ages. Thanks for having shared (back in 2017). /Rik.

Seven Limericks
Rozina said:
Keep them going, they\'re fun. Here\'s one for you:
His name is one long Classicmister
Whose hand grew a very big blister
He squeezed it so tight
It popped with a MIGHT
Starting a tornado and twister!
The End.

Theres no point it letting it linger

just post it, you should
for tomorrow you could write a real stinger

There once was a guy called, Paul.
Who read your limericks and all.
He fell of his chair.
Laughing on air.
Now he\'s in traction in care.

Here, here! What a powerful and moving analogy, specially to those of us who are lovers of life and are likewise sandcastle building aficionados! Thanks for sharing. /Rik.
