Notes About The Poem

Oh, to dream, to cast my gaze upon the foot steps I have left and judge the colors of my soul and say to each one, "You are not worthy."  Though perhaps not the best of my children, I have in the following writes significant meaning.  Cry not my lovelies that I have left uncounted.  Your flower may yet blossom.

Andrea Dietrich May 17, 2020 at 8:55 PM my friend, I hope one day to find the time to see these marvelous lists people are creating. I Just HAVE to do mine!!! But I can't ever seem to find the time. When she judges her contest, I hope to copy and paste the winners somehow so I can always find them. James Inman May 17, 2020 at 11:08 PM Hi Andrea, you have read all but the first three on my list. I agree, it should be interesting to see what the poets themselves think are their most significant writes and why. If you read this please let me know so I can read yours. You have a daunting task ahead of you to pick just ten. I feel for Line having to read all of them.
