Nice poem. I thought only I need to check rhymes and thesaurus. I cannot write a rhyme poem without rhyme zone. And always check spelling mistakes with ps grammar checker. Reading all comments and your poem made me feel I am not alone. :) Enjoy your day friend. Take care Rama

My computer has everything I need to write poetry – a dictionary, thesaurus, Rhymezone, word count, speller. Even so, writing poems is not always easy; some require much mental energy. Many thanks for your kind comments. Best to you in all your endeavors. /Maurice

Yes, we rely on the computers and dictionaries. Perhaps it is creativity that sets us apart from machines and books. Your poem is quite creative, Darlene! Hugs, Carolyn

It's the last line that worries me. Few poets comment on others poems. There are times when some poets don't even receive one single comment. The soup should invent something so that one can help. ~~

Victor.. Comments are sparse, I find that also. Tons of poems here read by hundreds with no comments I HAVE written many poems on this topic. Poets have to have hearts, PS cannot give them one. Poets came here to write. Real poets write. They don't expect comments. That's a losing game, the sillier the piece, the more ,mundane...tons of comments. Try it. Write a non Poem and pass it off as poem. That brings comments aplenty.))) people are shopping these days too. We all survive with few or no comments.

Hello Victor,yes Victor , i have noticed that few poets do comment on the poems. Yes some do not receive a single comment. I have noticed that to. All poems should have a comment. they can at least say Thank You. Enjoy your day my friend.
