Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 3/9/2019 8:19:00 AM - Congratulations on your winning poem: Give and Take, Caren :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/9/2019 8:36:00 AM Thank you Anne-Lise. If the takers knew what the givers know, they would readily give.

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 3/3/2019 2:33:00 PM - ... my suggestion is also "give and take" ... :) - Yours is awesome, Caren :) - Best wishes in the contest - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/3/2019 2:38:00 PM Thank you so much. As soon as I thought "give" I immediately saw "take".

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 3/3/2019 12:38:00 PM Good luck in the contest Caren, I like this poem - some people only know how to take and never give - well said. Poetry hugs, Jennifer. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/3/2019 2:39:00 PM I feel sorry for the takers; I try to tell them sometimes that the best, fastest ways to relieve stress, depression, anxiety, and sadness is to help someone else. Unfortunately, they do not believe me. They cannot trust me for they do not trust themselves. Alas.

Gershon Wolf Date: 3/3/2019 11:24:00 AM As a wise man told me when I started out in life: 'Be a giver; not a taker.' You are in exalted company, my friend. This man, my unofficial mentor, was a master teacher; best I've ever seen. He could tame the most lion-like students. I'm still learning from him 15 years after I last saw him teach... :) gw Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/3/2019 2:24:00 PM Giving to others always comes back to you in unexpected wonderful ways eventually.

Jan Allison Date: 3/3/2019 4:23:00 AM great opposite ends of the spectrum and I love the way you got Joseph's surname in the first one lol lol:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/3/2019 2:24:00 PM Accidentally done, but haha for that!

Swetha Vangaveti Date: 3/2/2019 11:35:00 PM LOL :) What a hit !! :D Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/3/2019 2:25:00 PM It was easy once I started with "give" and "take". It pretty much wrote itself down.
