I’ve renewed my poetic licence Just hope it won’t ever expire Poetry has become a bit of an addiction My words can be fact or they could be fiction But I plan to keep on writing quite a bit Even if you think my poems are a heap of rubbish!* * Can't think of a suitable rhyming word :-) 4th January 2016

Hi Jan, one thing i can assure you of, your work is never rubbish or the word you wanted to use. No swearing, i may soon get the sack. You keep on writing and write from the heart. Your words mean a lot to many people, you write for yourself, you write for them and you write in your own style. Your licence shall never expire as far as i am concerned. Write for your own enjoyment and let know one change you ever. You belong. A seven Jan....MIKE.

I love the sentiment and the humor. Just a suggestion ..."unfit" rhymes with bit. I'm not saying your poem is unfit. I'm simply answering your loud thought at the end.

G'day Jan... addiction is the one word that sticks out for me Jan, but I find writing is a wonderful addiction, so make sure that you stay addicted. By doing so, you make this world a better place - thank you Jan - Lindsay

you need a word to rhyme with bit....that's my specialty, I admit....and sometimes I do get fits....that's when I roll up and sit....listen to hip hop, they way they spit....and when I am high enough, its always another hit....;)

dear Jan, you don't always need rhyming words, a word from you reaches the whole world, they continue to stab with imaginations like sword, you are just good as you are, and that I really adore, especially your humour....a beautiful write you've done here
