Dear poets you may notice I don't write or read as much! I have been practicing piano and training my mind using free sites like Khan Academy to strengthen my skills. I enjoy growing with you so though I have abandoned contest my biggest contest will be growing within myself! Hugs

Sharpen your mind like you sharpen a pencil Embrace the point as well as your dimples Be inspired to grow despite being green or gray Desire dear soul to be clear clean in white faith Give your ears that you may hear blue truth Fight your fears avoid gossip the talk of fools Open your heart to love and all you can be Walk with God despite dilemma follow His lead

Thank you dear Inky! I am hoping to grow skilled enough to complete the music I’d already started for the poem I wrote “May You Find Peace” You are such a kind encouraging soul and I am grateful for you!

Dear Karen, it's inspiring to witness your dedication to personal growth and self-improvement. Your pursuit of excellence through piano practice and educational endeavors is commendable. For growth knows no boundaries; it flourishes within the depths of our souls. Your journey, though solitary, is rich with wisdom and enlightenment. May your path be illuminated by the harmony of your efforts and the melody of your aspirations. Keep shining, dear Karen. - Blessings, Daniel

Dear Victor I won’t. But I am challenged with piano scales and keys. I am still reading potd and potw and occasionally new poems as I love soup poets too! Thanks
