Aspirations Charlieku

aspirations
dare we dream …
     have hope

families fed
children loved …
     worldwide

farewell disease
no more wars …
     just love

as Lennon did
imagine …
     such joy



*October 11, 2018

Gary Bateman Date: 11/4/2018 10:34:00 AM Hello Carolyn, Best Congratulations on your win!! An inspirational message for sure. It is wondrous to "imagine" these worthy goals being met one day. The problem, of course, is with the "politics" and those who wish to profit off of and from other people's misery and misfortune. Superb Work!! Cheers and Best, Gary Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/23/2018 11:36:00 PM Yours was one of my very favorites, sweetie. Congrats on the well deserved win. today I changed from traditional doctor to naturopath. (probably spelled that wrong) I found out some unbelievable things about the Prolia they have been giving me. Feeling scared what will happen to me because going off prolia is dangerous but staying on it is worse. OH MY the things I have learned these past few years!! Login to Reply

Your lovely set of 'ku' make a lot of sense, Carolyn.

Unfortunately, some of them do not share our aspirations. Thanks for reading, my friend.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/15/2018 4:09:00 PM these are wonderful, Carolyn. I hope you are doing well. I have not heard from you lately and I know Florida had problems last week. I am now going home from work and just nice to think of you as I leave the door! Thanks for seeing my latest poetry! Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/15/2018 4:41:00 PM Thank you, Andrea.

Tom Cunningham Date: 10/11/2018 2:18:00 PM Great write Carolyn, I read a comment to Charles from Winged Warrior who called his modified haiku a ' charlieku' , lol. I've told him to register it as a new form. Good luck. Tom. Login to Reply Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/19/2018 8:50:00 AM Yes, I believe you're correct. Tom Cunningham Date: 10/11/2018 2:53:00 PM I'm pretty sure it was Brian Strand who invented the footle. Tom. Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/11/2018 2:26:00 PM Hey, thanks for the background, Tom. I like these unusual short forms that people are creating. I think Footles were created by a Soup member. Hugs, Carolyn

Chris Green Date: 10/11/2018 1:46:00 PM Beautiful, simply beautiful Carolyn. Your words convey the hopes and dreams of many. There is so much sadness and pain and hunger in this world, if every one would just do a little bit, just a little it would make a world of difference for those suffering. Your poem speaks to me. Imagine all the people, living life in peace. Login to Reply
