All I Hear Are Crickets In the Background

Ok. I'm not new to poetrysoup.  I've been a member since 2022..  But I feel new, or forgotten, or put on the shelf.

I used to get comments on my poems.  They were very encouraging.  But it has been well over three years since anyone has commented on my poems.  I have uploaded quite a few but nothing.

So,,, I will reintroduce myself, and invite all to read my poems, which a couple I think are pretty good, really, i like them all. But I don't feel like I'm growing in my pursuit to write poetry.  If you all would critique my poems and challenge me with something to stretch me, I would be most grateful... I can handle high criticism.

My name is Mona.  I;m no professional, but I have a profound heart that needs to be drawn out.

Thank you
