But Is It Poetry?
BlessedbyGod said:

I have often asked myself this same question, Im sure we all have at some point,
True works of art and poetry is from the heart, meaningful and full of inspiration and emotion
In my opinion as long as we enjoy writing it and others enjoy reading our work, then it doesn\'t matter if it rhymes or not

Why there is this response is a natural human thing and observably applies to all categories of art and outside thereof. Funny that.

What you have Andy, is a matter you wish to convey, utilising, broadly a poetic form.
(Define \'Poetry\', please...)

But Is It Poetry?
orchidee said:

Well, yes, I think it is poetry, writing or not, or having those iambic thingys or not (pentameters) - whatever they are?!
But I get lost in poems that are too cryptic.

I think that about my own writing. Not knowing what poetry really is, but we may have something to learn.

Respect Deserved.
Bella Shepard said:

When I was a child many moons ago, I was not only taught respect by my parents and teachers in school, but I saw it demonstrated by the adults in my life. Today I see adults who wear their disrespect for others like a badge of honor, as if this is acceptable behavior. I do however see glimmers of hope in many of our young people, who demonstrate compassion and acceptance, and hopefully they pass it on. You are absolutely right, it can be brought back. A great write my friend!

Respect Deserved.
sorenbarrett said:

Here here, such a great message. Maybe that is why it has shrunk. Looking at today\'s population there are so few that deserve it.

Respect Deserved.
Christina8 said:

Respect is there for those who deserve it and I have taught it to my children. I would have to say as decent people they inherently respect those who are respectable folks....Christina

Respect Deserved.
Doggerel Dave said:

Please define your terms, Andy. If you mean respect for Authority, then forget that. If you mean respect in ordinary human intercourse, then it most certainly has become more casual...
Good you bring this up every now and again - worth constant review.

Respect Deserved.
Neville said:



I could not agree more with the sentiments you have posted today .. however, since values have changed considerably as you have already outlined, I additionally worry that if such values are not taught in the first place, then how on earth can they be further passed on down the line ... tis very sad indeed ..............

Insomnia rules, Andy.....Still you can trip downstairs and write a fresh ditty, so it can\'t be doing you much harm..

Brain Awakening.
orchidee said:

I lay awake thinking (do I) - has that long hippo word got anything to do with hippos?!
I\'m going to dazzle a church with my knowledge - it\'s their 150th anniversary this year - that\'ll be the sesquicentennial anniversary then!

Eileen Clark said:

Hi, I think it\'s great to be loved no matter the age. I stopped ones from loving me at an early age (40\'s) because I have RA and knew I\'d be limited.

The Lost Idea.
Bella Shepard said:

How true your words dear Andy, been there so many times. The older I get, the more slender the thread that tries to hold onto a thought. Oh well, what will be will be, or maybe not be. Good write my friend.

The Lost Idea.

This has happened so many times, even when I write down the idea immediately it changes over time, until sometimes the final product is nothing that I started with.
