Actually dear MLK I was just writing about the wonderful emotions one feels when they get bestowed this honor on waking up one beautiful morning and they find they have POTD - but I got many congratulations for this poem which wasn't a POTD, but feel honoured you thought it was. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thank-you Charlie, a little concerned that I put the whole poem across in a way that caused misunderstanding - I was merely writing about the emotions we feel on the morning we wake up and discover this lovely surprise. Perhaps it was my fault. Thank-you for a wonderful comment Charlie, hugs and blessings Jenny,

Hi Carolyn, I didn't get POTD on this poem my friend, but I wrote a poem of how we feel when we open the computer some morning and see we have been awarded the honor of POTD - just expressed how we all probably feel! I've missed you and have not visited your page but if you are back, three cheers, I certainly will be!. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

You do capture genuinely the thrill of getting the honour of POTD! You dearest Jenny, having many a time dipped your wonderful pen into the honey of poetry and tasted the beauty of being recognized and valued as a talented poetess.. always a great pleasure to read what you ink of the wonders of your perceptive heart and sharp mind.. warmest wishes.. love and hugs.

Jennifer Proxenos
Date: 5/27/2019 1:03:00 PM

Besma - I could never attain to reach the richness of the poems you write - my friend, poets like you and Robert Lindley's are rare - yours are so mysterious and deep and worthy of the POTD honors you have been bestowed! Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Caycay Jennings

Aint it a great feeling? I am so glad you got to experience it. It's hard for me to understand the poems chosen sometimes (my own especially included) but yes indeed, oh what a feeling. Such a sweet poem of gratitude, Jenny! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Jennifer Proxenos
Date: 5/27/2019 1:03:00 PM

Hi CayCay - it is absolutely gratitude and a sense of humbleness that goes hand in hand with it! You are the queen of POTD's - and deservedly so! Hugs, Jenny.

I believe that your personal feelings reflect what many others also feel in similar cases, Jenny. POTD is not winning the lottery, but it amply provides encouragement and satisfaction. ~ Warm regards & hugs // paul

Jennifer Proxenos
Date: 5/25/2019 5:13:00 AM

I think and a sense of pride in one's work - all of what you say is so true Paul and it came to me in a flash the day after I had wished someone congrats for achieving POTD and had been awarded this honor - the batton goes to another in a 24 hour cycle - warm regards ang hugs Paul, Jennifer.

A wise and lovely comment - it is the small things in life that make us happy dear soul sister, and the initial well being on being awarded this honor gives me butterflies in my tummy, I can't deny it. Best wishes and hugs my friend. Jenny.
