I Alone

I have now - I had then But that's an old tale of sorrow. Let's go and have a drink. My self-esteem has been hurt and nothing but medicine will fix it. I alone am to blame. You, regarding me as a local nuisance, You just laugh I just fizzle out. I don't see the humour.

Pippa,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
