Poetizer sucks! Mypoeticside rules!
Thank you for your opinion. I am actually enjoying being on three platforms which allows me to interact with many different people across all walks of life. I love diversity. As for the platform, it is certainly different than this one, and I wish they allowed art to be shared on it, but I am finding it to be a mighty fine community with many talented poets, just as on here. Thank you so much for dropping by and reading. I'd love to know what you think of the poem itself. 🙏❤️
I like the form of this poem, but even more I liked some of the internal rhyme and the meaning behind it. Well thought out and thought provoking it has dropped its spores.
Indeed! Thank you for that, Soren! I really appreciate your time and feedback, as always! ❤️🙏
