The way you brought these words together was brilliant and the theme is great for us poetry soup grinders. I'm so happy I came to the soup and I wish I had read this as a welcome poem. There is much wisdom here that I found out only after years of souping! Fabulous poem!

Jennifer Proxenos

Kyle thank you for your kind words, but we in turn should thank you for your awesome faith that you are spreading on poetry soup, I for one am a great fan and admire your intensity! Poetry soup, Jennifer.

Thank-you Lindsay - things that happen everyday in our lives with Poetry Soup that we must or must not do but which occasionally happen. Thanks for a lovely comment Lindsay, take care. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Oh, no,! I saw your comment below about your flu. Lighting a candel(honeysuckle))) and saying a heartfelt prayer you are better now. Hopefully you are on the mend.Send your housework person here.LOL. I, too, feel like we have known each other forever. Blessings, health and love be yours!Panagiota

Hey Panagiota, I feel I have known you forever. Thank-you for your lovely comments - have had bad flu for a couple of days, but slowly bouncing back into action, not like me, for even after my hysterectomy on my third day at home, I was up and on my computer. Fortunately don't have house work to do as I have a wonderful lady that works for us for years! Keep well my friend, will be visiting your page later today, Love and hugs, Jenny.

I have been through this routine, Jenny...and it is so easy to press or click on something by mistake. Fortunately there are delete and edit features! As an aside, I have never blocked anyone, and hope that I will never need to resort to it:) ~ Warm regards // paul

Hi Paul, I blocked once, through a misunderstanding and apologized and unblocked - I interpreted a comment wrongly! Thank-you always for your wonderful and substantial comments which I look forward to. I have to tell my mentor as maybe you missed it - I got POTD two days ago - it was on the same day that I wrote and entered my deep and dark poem for Dear Heart's contest ( a true story,) and was weepy the whole day, women's hormones I guess! Warm regards, Jenny.

Jennifer, don't know how to say this but this poem, leaving creativity alone, oh, oh, the rhyme!! may i, if you don't mind, compare you to William Wordsworth?

Jennifer Proxenos
Date: 3/27/2019 4:13:00 AM

Oh Kibuuka - that is really so sweet of you, I take that as a very big compliment. Stay well, I'll be visiting your page soon, Poetry hugs, Jenny.

I try to, "build and advance my stock" every single day; although, some days it seems futile. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks MLK my friend for stopping by - building up stock is an everlasting process, but I love your poems, as so much thought and effort go into them - keep them coming! Love and hugs, Jennifer.

- Don’t worry, my friend Jenny :) - They are smart, cautious and know how to play their cards correctly .... sympathetic and helpful :) - But behind the friendly and helpful facade, it usually hides a big egoist ! :) - Great written - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I agree Sunshine Smile - but one finds this in any group, site, team, gathering etc. True friends are far and few between but you are one of my best friends on Poetry Soup! Stay smiling my dear friend, your smile brings sunshine. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

Excellent Jennifer. Sometimes something has to be said and to be able to do it in a poem makes it easier. It also takes maturity to admit your own mistakes. A lot of people don't have that. Kudos for a well done job. God Bless, JB

Thanks Judy, I so appreciate your comment, yes sometimes some comments are uncomfortable - maybe a bad day, or month or year, but all is well. Blessings to you my friend, Poetry hugs - Jennifer.

Jennifer, you wrote it exactly right, this is exactly what happens, because talking on line cannot compare to talking face to face, the facial expression is missing, and that is so important, but sometimes blocking is the answer when faced with a person who is harassing or giving us problems, I have no regrets on having to do this once in a while but I do that as the last resort, this is my sanctuary and anyone trying to destroy that has to go... great poem, enjoyed it a lot ~

Thank you Dear Heart for a wonderful comment, you are quite right, our web page is our sanctuary and what we choose to share with others should be respected. Poetry hugs, Jennifer

You summed it up nicely Jennifer, I'm puzzled though DX8 ? Maybe that's where I'm going wrong lol. Tom.

Hi Tom - hope you had a good Saturday. The DX8 is in fact a rhyme with validate (Eight - Validate). Glad you enjoyed. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

You wrote it in a poem...what is done here everyday...it does require a little love, I must admit...or you will not get the benefit...All the nest Jennifer

Hi Arturo - I agree, a little love goes a long way in anything we do in life. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Nicely put, and well thought, the rhyming was not forced and the poem itself flows from line to line.

Thank you Martin, a lovely comment - glad you enjoyed - to rhyme poems is my passion. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
